TeamRocket: Southperry's DFO Guild

Well, that's it for me. DFO has technically been dead to me ever since I hit the level cap and did just about all the epic quests that the game has, and all I had left was being on for nearly 3 hours a day just to gift and monitor my AH sales. Eventually the game was no longer actually fun, but a chore; work, even. I hated the monotony, but I loved the money. I keep telling myself the game is still fun if I'm making lots of money, but after burning through over 200 episodes worth of shows while gifting, I keep asking myself why the hell am I still doing this. I was essentially a zombie, only logging on to do the exact same thing over and over and over. Dungeons and Hell Modes were in no way profitable for me because the game clearly hates me and refuses to hand me pinks like it's candy. Hell, even when it came to purples they tend to be crap purples. In other words, gifting was dangerously addicting as I had no other way to be as prosperous.

However, I held on because of those in the guild I saw as friends, and even moreso I wasn't going to leave until I saw the guild reach the level cap. Hence why I donated nearly 20m; I wanted to get the guild to be able to immediately level when the time came, without having to waste time asking people in the guild to donate.

Even more, real life/non-DFO matters and school has slowly been cluttering up my time to the point I can't play DFO and do everything else as well anymore. As my last year-ish of college, I can't lazy my way through my classes anymore. I came dangerously close these past 4-5 weeks in really pushing it with my DFO gifting habit.

Me: But I gotta spend another 2+ hours today gifting for my daily 5-6m!

Level 300+ Accounting/Finance courses:

I know it's a bit ironic that the final leveling of the guild signifies my leave, but that's my choice. I may pop back in during Winter/Spring/Summer break, but I doubt I'd be back in full stride ever again (aka playing nearly everyday). I won't even bother to return for the level 65 gear patch until after Thanksgiving, give or take. Besides, there are quite a few console games that have long craved for my attention that I've neglected because of DFO taking up my free time. I'm looking at you, Super Mario Galaxy/Galaxy 2, Twilight Princess, FFVIII, FFXII, FFXIII, Bioshock 2, Borderlands, various DS games.

I did do a couple final things these past few days so I can leave/uninstall DFO on a high note.


Finally got my bloody ToD title.


Broke 1.2k STR


I need a bigger safe. Surely all that coke can't be good for it.



So long, and thanks for all the fish *makes sure not to take fish from Sera*.

Later, Team Rocket.
