How...did I miss this post.
I have to use the Get New Posts button more often, because oh my god I skipped so much stuff.
LOL at the towel. That is indeed a heavenly gift, especially with Illusio currently active where you can see him half naked in any cutscene you currently own.
But I totally get the odd feeling. I felt pretty conflicted and almost guilty when I decided to interrupt my subscription to SWL (with the added bonus that without paying that game really gets frustrating to play, so the decision is also charged with the knowledge that you're actively archiving it). I don't regret it though, because the moment I stopped throwing money at it I immediately realized how much of my daily routine with the game was tied to a feeling of responsibility since I was paying for it rather than genuine love and interest into doing what I was doing. I'm still a SWL lover, and I still hop in during events and join in the fun and talk to people about the good ol' times, but I don't feel like I have to do my daily runs to avoid feeling like I'm wasting my money. It resized my engagement to something more in tune with current me.
You can consider both options a temporary decision: whether you decide to keep on paying for FF or you save up money or you throw it to LaDS instead, you're chasing what makes you happy and keeps you brain juices going at the moment. It can be LaDS now, and it can be FF again in two months!
