So ya obviously, I need help with my name change. Something that will be easy to remember. These are the ones I have so far...
[still japanesie]
Maikerutaru
Maikerukiru
Maikerukun
Maikerusama
Maisama (LOL@this)
Shinmaikeru (Shinmai taken >_<)
[japanese-ish]
Maiky
Maiktaru
[other]
Michael (surprisingly not taken, or never made it to Jeuno AH)
The weird thing is, Michaely is taken. That's so odd.
I'm leaning on Maikerutaru because it's the easiest, but I'm still considering the others. Most especially Shinmaikeru (True Michael), but that could be just spite. But anyway, I want to decide soon and create a mule there to hold my name. Halp! :(

Meh and Stuff
Did I win the Nomad Mog Bonanza?
No.
Will I change servers?
Possibly... like 25% chance.
Will FFXI turn into WoW with the new updates?
Yes and no.
Yes because with the raised cap, everything about the game will change. Each job combo, based on what else they release, will be crazy. The level of what we already deem to be hax will be raised up a notch, and then kicked up twenty times more. With that in mind, I don't even want to think about the monster changes. Chaos will be an understatement.
No because of the level difficulty when compared to WoW. Sure when we hit the cap it'll look the same. Characters swarming with non-stop action. But the grind is still much more daunting, especially with the job combination possibilities.
What's my theory behind these radical changes?
SE is trying to cope with the depression of releasing FFXIV. I believe FFXIV will be much, much more difficult than FFXI in all aspects. Because of this, the fanbase of the FFMMO will drop... unless they stir up interest in FFXI. I believe the veterans of FFXI and those who have invested so much into their character will stay on XI. XIV will just be another chance to start over.
Anyway, that's my two cents.
No.

New Stuff
I'll be posting new content as soon as I decide what I plan to feature on this website. I might rename this website if I move to FFXIV as I won't be from Windurst anymore. Again, assuming my name follows as well. I'm not sure how the name reservation will work out. Will I have to race against other Maikerus from other servers? I hope not.

Awesome Video
A friend of mine posted this video on facebook. So... I'll share it with you!
(you might want to press pause on the video to the right that's playing music, assuming you want to listen to the Spanish music in this video)

Looking Back at 2009 (Part II)
First of all, thank you Brig for your kind words.
2009 was full of firsts, and more seconds. Looking back at my personality from the beginning of this past year and now, I can say I've gotten a little bit more assertive. A little bit more sure of myself. But only a little. I'm yet to reach douchebag status, but I'm working hard!
Kindness seems to get the best of me. It's a trait that is ingrained in my lifestyle. I aim to please. This past year has shown me the up and down of this part of me. To sacrifice is to love. To sacrifice what is not yours to give is foolish. I need to understand where to draw the line. This is something that will probably take months to learn, and years to focus, but a there is no better time to start than now.
I've made many decisions. Most were decent. Some were great! But far too many were terrible. So many regrets manifested this past year that I wonder how many seconds have been shaved off my life just from sheer depression and anxiety. And yet, I can say it wasn't a bad year. In fact, I can say it was a pretty damn good year.
Oh, and my beloved iPhone. Thank you my bedside reindeer. I am very grateful.
And the core of this post...
2009 brought out the decision for me to quit FFXI. I decided to live my life.
2010 has brought me recognition. FFXI wasn't the problem. It was my obsession and lack of discipline.
Therefore, I am back. But this time, it will be for myself. As selfish as it sounds, it really is the only way I can play FFXI and not let it interfere with my life. My time as an elitist player is over. The path of the relic is no more for me. Farewell endgame events. I miss you, but not that much.
My friends, I hope you will forgive me for my absence. I will still not see many of you, but I hope my ghost of an existence is enough.
I have moved on.
