I bought Final Fantasy XI about a year ago from Virgin Megastores, it was sitting in a discount bin and I thought "Why not?" I played it for about two weeks and stopped, for at least ten months.

A few days ago I found out that Woody had bought it and I thought, "Why don’t I get my copy out and get back on my account?". It installed perfectly well, not a problem at all, my account had been suspended but I quickly re-activated it and my character was in perfect health (minus my Linkshell which seems to have closed, so if you are part of an Linkshell on the Ifrit server my name is Andromida). After maybe two hours of playing, disaster, a thunderstorm had passed over my house and a lightning bolt knocked out a lot of the electrical equipment in the house.

The main television, two video recorders, a DVD recorder, cable television box and modem, network router, three network cards, the motherboard of my computer and my PlayStation 2 have been damaged. The cable television box and modem were fixed last Saturday and we bought a new network router, someone is meant to be coming to see if the television can be repaired "soon".

I have got my computer working, although it does sometimes go a little nuts (I hope that will go away when I replace the motherboard). In the time my computer has been behaving I have been playing Final Fantasy XI, my character is Andromida, on the Ifrit server, and is a 25WHM/20RDM and I am looking for someone to help me on the Emissary Mission for Bostok.
