It's Pandemonium in Final Fantasy XI

Aug 17th 2008 12:38PM (Massively)
I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and expect that you aren't a worthless troll. Please get your facts straight. We played the 18 hours not because we though it would be cool to do, or because it was really fun. We did it because it took weeks of effort to even get the trigger, and because we didn't actually know how long it would take.

We continued playing because after nine hours, or ten hours, we figured, what's another hour? Everyone had put so much effort into the fight, and we didn't want to give up. But at the end of the battle it was unanimously decided that we wouldn't attempt it again, and we were all outraged that the battle actually lasted this long. Our very first posts about this NM included the words, "Don't attempt this NM if you value your time."

Personally, I'm on hiatus from the game, because I don't like the fact that SE would conceive to create a boss like this as one of our main challenges. BtL has done most everything in the game, but we are not your typical hardcore LS. We are more social than anything, and we are all very close. We don't even camp 21-24 hour NM's anymore because none of us can play before 5:30pm on weekedays, besides the fact that we just don't think it's worth it. So I'll reiterate, this isn't typical of us as at all, as Ruke states in his Livejournal post. Nearly everyone in our shell goes to work Monday morning, myself included, and playing a video game for 18 hours straight may be something I have done once, but concentrating on the same boss for that amount of time without any breaks isn't something my body or lifestyle can take. I really wish you would have looked into this more before you made said something this accusing.
