Tha MonkeyClan of the Angry Monkey (FFXI)
Ugh, schedule differences
Submitted by ravenclaw on Thu, 10/14/2004 - 17:03.

From statistics pointed out before we know that there are quite a few people in this clan. However, due to schedule differences, I never see you guys!

I work night tech support for an outsourcing company (we provide tech support for small regional ISPs as well as some smaller computer hardware companies), so I work from 8pm to 4am. This means, I only play in the mornings... even on the weekends (I've found as I get older I can't radically change my sleeping habits on the weekend unless I want to suffer the following week).

I generally play from around 5am to 8am MDT (sometimes longer if I am really doing well) which means I only see those people I've personally invited into the clan. I've gotten 7 people in the clan, and 4 of them are now in my static party in the mornings (1 is Japanese, and I think only took the pearl to be nice ;-)

The biggest problem with this is that, all my old friends from old ClanAM play at completely different times from me! Raptor plays late at night (I've only ever met him ONCE in the game) when I am at work, Roo plays in the evening just as I am heading off to work, Skillz plays in the afternoons as I sleep, I have no idea when Bomb plays if he even plays (you still playing Bomb?), and Sinister_Sam (Maior to you Clan-newbs) is only sometimes there muling when I log in in the morning.

Then there's new Clan members like Drifter, Xilldon, Terial, Craigshin, Valsery, etc that I've met once, maybe twice, on the weekends before I head to bed.

There's all you guys that I want to do stuff with, and yet we're never online at the same time to do anything together! Argh!

We need to see if we can't schedule something on the weekends in the evenings (like we did in old-ClanAM) to see if we can't do fun stuff like what Craigshin suggested. Maybe the PL thing really won't work (it wont work for me, I'm one of the highest people in the clan) but certainly NM hunts, quests and missions would work.

For example, I helped Sam get his Impact Knuckles a couple months back. For 3 hours we camped Mee Deggi trying for the knuckles, the kotes, or both. We got the knuckles and called it good, but it was fun dammit!

My static is great for levelling, but we don't do much beyond that.
