#fly for fun

[bablih]

Hello FlyFF Universe!

Oh~ how we dearly miss our FlyFF (Fly For Fun) adventures, which was decade ago, an open world MMORPG that we got addicted to for years. So we’re so glad to find out that FlyFF is now back! No need to download the game, you just need a browser in your pc or phone, and you’re ready to set off and fly! 🥰

Simply go to https://universe.flyff.com/play and don’t forget to register an account to avoid losing your character if you play as a “guest”.

Me (bbCHAN), and my hubby Kyle as “bbKUN”, and our new recruit - our 7 year old daughter Kaikai, playing as our assist healer “bbSHIN”, are on the server “Mia”. The number of players is really overwhelming, even on the second server that we are in, how much more on the first server “Lawolf”!? Happy to see that people are loving the game. =)

There are a number of changes we noticed compared to the old FlyFF, and loving it so far, especially the flying ships - it’s a new experience, and so awesome! We’re still low levels (and only play when we want to, we didn’t play to compete, but the fun of it like we always use to), so there’s still more to discover.

Funny thing is the sense of physical immersion into the game - like when I move my character to jump off from a cliff or from very high places, I get this weird feeling in my stomach like when driving real fast over a hill! The feeling is so cool and I love it! Haha 😆

You can check out our old FlyFF adventures from way back here: https://bablih.com/archive/tagged/flyff

And I’m super excited to draw new FlyFF chibi fanarts, when I got the time 😂

Here’s one of my first artworks when I just started drawing FlyFF chibis, way back year 2010, I was still new to digital art at that time, no pen tablet yet, nor iPad+pencil+procreate, so I only used computer mouse + Paint Tool SAI that time, it was pretty difficult..

And here’s one of my last FlyFF fanarts from year 2013, I think this is the last fashion sets our characters “bbSAMA” & “bbSHI” wore before the game closed..

More FlyFF adventures and fanarts await! 😁

FlyFF is coming back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😱 DO YOU GUYS HAVE /ANY/ IDEA HOW MANY YEARS OF MY LIFE I SPENT NO-LIFE-ING THAT GAME????? DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY IRL SOCIAL OPPROTUNITIES I PASSED UP BECAUSE I WANTED TO BE ONLINE WITH MY GUILDIES? My friends literally had to come to my house and PICK ME UP and throw me in the car to pry me away from that game. I didn't sleep, I didn't eat, I didn't leave my room, I did my homework at school during classes so I would have more gaming time. . .I would get home from school, log on, join my guildies, and that would be what I would do until I had to get ready for school the next morning. I met my all-time best of best friends (Janita) on that website when I was like 13 or 14. I met my ex-girlfriend of YEARS on that mmo. I met TONS of my current friends in the guild I was in. I had NEVER felt like I belonged or was a part of something until I joined that game and got into a guild. I NEVER felt like anyone cared until I met my guildies. I cannot even TELL YOU how heartbroken I was when they deleted the game from existence. I didn't really play anymore because my account got hacked and all my items got stolen, despite the fact I was still a RIDICULOUSLY high level. . .and it really upset me that the premium items my friends had gifted me on holdiays like Christmas all got stolen coz those things meant SO MUCH to me. . .But pretty much everyone's account got hacked like right before they shut the game down. The players dwindled and security dropped like crazy. They closed servers one by one. I still remember when my server merged with another server and I was so confused??? And then I remember my guild members telling me the whole game was being taken down. . .and I cried. I literally cried. I was in tears. That game was my world. My entire high school years. My freedom. The one place I could be myself and be 200% accepted. The one place that I feel like people ACTUALLY CARED. The one place where I could escape all the bullshit and abuse that was going on at home. . .where I could pretend I didn't have any addiction problems or self harm problems or suicidal ideation. The one place that allowed me to be a boy before I knew I was transgender. That game pretty much was how I first DISCOVERED I was transgender. I always played boys in games and roleplays before that. And I knew that the words "she" and "her" and my birth name made me EXTREMELY uncomfortable and hurt me like crazy. . .In FlyFF. . .I was who I wanted to be. No one knew my birth name and no one knew I had a female body. Back then, I didn't know what transgender was. I didn't know it was possible to be who you actually are instead of trying unrealistically hard to just accept what you were born with, no matter how uncomfortable and painful it was. I didn't know those things were possible until WAY into college. So. . .in FlyFF, I was who I actually am. Everyone called me by my actual name and not my birth name and everyone KNEW I was a boy and accepted it 200%. There was no discrimination and no one freaking out because I am trans. Because I didn't know it yet. And I didn't know that I was ACTUALLY REALLY A BOY instead of just "pretending" to be a boy my entire life. FlyFF made me discover so many things about myself. It wasn't really about the game. . .it was about the time I spent with all these wonderful, amazing people. All the years I spent getting to know them and developing relationships with them. All the late night conversations where people really were there for me and cared and helped me with my problems and showed me I wasn't alone in the world. All of those guild members that would stand up for me and spend time grinding with me so I could level a ton every day while talking. All those times my friends and I would just go in dungeons to just fuck around. All the little premium presents we would gift each other during holidays and special occasions. Getting married to the girl you loved and jumping off a tower with her with a whole crowd cheering you on in-game. I can't even begin to describe to you guys how much this game shaped who I am as a person and how many nights I actually got through things instead of killing myself or hurting myself because people were there for me. I can't even tell you how this game showed me to accept myself and that I can be who I actually am and don't have to pretend. This game was my life for SO many reasons. . .and now it's coming back. IT'S COMING BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is possibly the happiest day I've had in a VERY long time because of this news. I am SO fucking overjoyed. . .and so happy. I can't even words anymore. 😅 I just. . .wow. I can't believe this is happening!!!

FlyFF was the first MMO I played, started when I was about 15. Unfortunately, when the computer I had it on died, I lost the game and never got around to re-downloading it. I can't even remember what my username was. I do, however, remember my avatar on FlyFF, mainly because it kicked off my habit of naming my MMO avatars after musical terms (Crescenda = Crescendo)

Also, just a reminder that you can get my recently published Pin-Up colouring book here and here! The book contains 11 detailed pinups (both male and female), and is $5.00, so it’s super cheap :)

Two of a Kind

The main characters ZhiYuu & Lilithia from my old FlyFF themed webcomic Azure Rainbows! Though the series only ran for about 10 strips it was still one of the best projects I ever worked on with my friends. One that I would honestly love to do again.
