Hey guys, just wanted to throw out there that my break is going to be much more extended than I originally thought…to the point where I'm deactivating my content IDs for the moment. With regular bills, now saving for a wedding, and wanting to go back to school, I need any money I can get and if I DO go back to school, it'll be easier to not get distracted knowing FFXI is not readily available to me.

You guys are awesome, I've had a blast doing what I did, and hopefully will get to come back soon, but who knows what the future holds. I can't possibly thank everyone here for all the fun experience and someone needs to take over my position of "trying it….FOR SCIENCE!" :P

Speaking of the wedding, if you honestly think you can and want to come to NY on the weekend of 11/10/12, and would like an invitation to the wedding, please PM me your address. Not sending out invites yet, but want to try to get an idea of how many people we may have. Good luck guys, I'm sure I'll be back someday :P

Sincerely yours,
Brian "Darkhelmet" Dietz :P

P.S. No, you can't have my stuff :P

I hope you and Naz have an absolutely wonderful wedding. The game is only that…a game fun to play on down time but should not take the place of IRL commitments.

A wise decision, I would say. :) Pooling as much money as you can for the wedding & schooling will definitely help. If you have friends or relatives who are in an industry which could pertain to the wedding make sure to tap them as well: By that I mean, if you know someone who does flower arrangement, see if you can get your stuff from them, etc. Ask if they're willing to make it your & Naz's wedding gift. Moira & I saved a ton on our wedding by being able to have friends gift us things like the table centerpieces, our flowers, and we got a deep discount on the cake from an acquaintance who worked in a bakery.

We'll all miss you & Naz while you guys are away of course. And I'm sure someone will take up the mantle of "….FOR SCIENCE!" (Ketsu will if no one else! =P) Take care of yourselves and good luck with everything!

can i haz ur schtuff? :P jk lol ^^

Hmmm… I don't think Ketsuu was kidding >.>

I wish Naz and you the best… I love November weddings… in fact, Darkcecil and I got married on November 17. :) Like Al said… friends and family can be a real big asset to save on your wedding so that you can spend on your honeymoon.
