you start mixing real life situations with in game words or lingo.
I just informed a customer that the current balance on thier
account was 37gil.
Not only that but I got upset the other night when I ran a
red light and sat there wishing that I could have casted sneak/invis on myself while the officer was citing me.
I asked my grandmother if she could make me a Rolanberry Pie +1 to which I got a blank stare and prodded as to wether or not I was smoking herb again. (I think I was high at the time I made this request)
I walked into my pitch black apartment afraid I was going to aggro a skeleton o.0 (Don't ask)
Kicked myself in the head for forgetting to set my home point at my desk so I could warp to work the next morning.
Asked my boss what my next mission was...?
You put your customers on hold so you can read the FFXI forums...
Ok that's all I have for now ^^

You know you're addicted to FFXI when....Follow
well, not that far yet.....
but close..
another way you know your hooked is when you seriously consider(sp edit) breaking up with your gf/bf (gf in my case, thanks) so you have more time to play....
no I didnt break up with her, lol(not that addicted yet, lol)
the good thing is, I dont have to put my customers on hold to read the forums, I can just read em while waiting for their pc to reboot, them to type something, etc
but I did descide that reading these forums is more important/fun then playing runescape, another mmo thats web based(fun little java game, but at high levels you pound your head into the wall more then you gain xp)
if I think of more, I'll post again... btw rate up for zander for starting what could be a really funny thread

Posting from Alexander, because I like the thread.
You know you're addicted to FFXI when:
You read a book with a dog named Argus and wonder why his family doesn't kill him for the peacock charm (true story)
You accidentally refer to your dinner as a Mithkabob rather than a shishkabob (true)
(From the PLD forum, but I liked it) You instinctively order seafood when you go out to eat because you know it raises your DEF and VIT
You drink Gatorade while playing Football, and decide it's like drinking juice so you "chain" the third quarter. (true)
You post in this thread.
That's all I got.

When you are at a night club and see a nice vase and wonder what ingredients it would take to synthesize it....and how much it would sell for in the AH. (this one is very sad)
When you go to sleep at night and close your eyes all you see is yourself swinging at the mob you were just xping on for the past 3 hours.
When you just sit in your MH (when you should be going to bed) and organize what you want to be wearing when you log on the next day (and what job you want to be).
For the PLDs out there......When you see a young child being yelled at and berated by a parent, you want to voke the hate off the little one.
Many more that I can't really think of right now.

For me...
When I started to have regular dreams about one of my rw friends setting fire to San D' Oria, proclaiming that she is doing it in the name of all that is good in the world.
Oh, and when I type *does the tarutaru dance* while on Yahoo! or AIM messanger when something good happens to me or them in rw, then having to explain to them WHAT a tarutaru dance is...

Haahaa Thats funny.
I read something about how a Linkshell meets in real life talk and hang out. At the end of the meeting they were expecting the Party's Black Mage for a Warp II.
This is something i do WAY to much is to make up excuses that i cant go out with my friend or even my G/f because i want to play FFXI.
You know you're addicted when you spend your day at work thinking mostly about what strategy you should employ to deal with this mission or that BCNM, etc.
... I've been doing that since my first week >.>
... I've been doing that since my first week >.>
When you crawl out of your dungeon and think your girlfriend is a burglar.
When you SATA your family pet.
When the only food you have eaten the whole day is meat mithkabobs.

Personally I've had very vivid dreams about FFXI (especially when I go to bed after I log)

You know you're addicted when this makes you giggle, warming you as though the sun were in your belly. =)
When your excited to go to work to look at allakhazam. And your excited to go home to play FF.
LOL and probably the best one is when you buy one of those clocks they're advertising that shows in game and real life time in the CoP expanstion. And when it's a full moon you tell your boss your sick and have to go home.
OMG where did my life go?

When you're running through bastok to AH, and you see someone from behind and feel you recognize them, only to realize 5 minutes later that the person of whom you are reminded is in fact someone you know IRL.
Just happened, not 5 minutes ago.

For me, I knew I was addicted when I was really bored at work one night so tried to figure out a workable formula for a gil to dollar ratio. I tried taking Earth prices for items and working out how the hell the Vanadiel prices add up. I knew it would never work when I had to have things like logarithms and different formalas for different categories of things (Food, weapons, blah blah). Yeah, that took up like four hours at work, and the results ended up shredded out of frustration. Damned addictions ><

Woke up trying to WS my mother before, which included shouting "TP 100%!".
I love mornings.

I work with someone whose last name is Mishra - only today I called them Mr. Mithra instead of Mr. Mishra. ^^; I don't think he noticed, but it was kind of embarrassing.
Well THIS is an exemplary demonstration of FFXI addiction if ever I saw one.
Being in reference to the first reply to OP in the linked thread.
