Remember When.....

Getting Monk to upper 60's and people wondering why, with "It's not an advanced job" being added to the comments.

People thinking Monk was weak because two punches for 70 per 6 and a half seconds somehow didn't beat a DRKs 120 every 8. Go Figure.
 
...i thought that people wearing AF's were gods and my only goal at the time was to have 1 set of af complete...so i can quit the game.. haha.

...i didnt know about signet until level 12 >.>
 
I remember my first time going to Jeuno with Reya when we hit 20 and were going up to do our Chocobo quest... I caught aggro from a goblin in Rolanberry Fields, made it all the way to Jeuno, figuring that since I hadn't seen the goblin in like 5-10 minutes he'd lost interest. So Reya and I stopped to chat with Broden at the entrance to Jeuno... 3-5 minutes later... *whack* Gobbie and friends show up and I run like crazy while Broden kills them. XD

Good times.
 
lol, the first and almost only thing that sticks out in my mind...

I remember when i bought a jujitsu gi for 40k, sold it 2 months later for 100k and thought i had alot of money.

Good times.
 
I remember looking at Traveler's Mantle and going "Jesus Christ, how am I ever going to get 70k?"
 
I remeber when I first started playing the game it set my home point in port sandy. I spent my first few hours trying to figure out how I attack the poeple around me. Once I found East Ron I would kill 2 to 3 mobs then run all the way back so port sandy the hp. It took me 2 or 3 days of doing this before I figured out how to rest.

Back when I started playing the game I remember all my selling everything at the NPC and thought I was getting rich off selling crystals to the npc for 15 gil each. The first time I killed a Orc and was shocked when i got gil from it after that I attacked any Orc I could find and died most times.

I remember when I first found the check command before that I would just attack anything in my path.

The first time a went to Jeuno it was nice and quite well not totally there where afew shouts for teleports but that was it. None of the I have this shitty gear worth some large ass a mount of gil.

My first time I went to CN I was in Jeuno got at tell to come party in CN told the leader I had never been there before. The leader told me how to get there I being the happy NooB RDM ran up saw a ton of people at the zone and just walked in before the screen fully loaded I was dead.

Ah to be a NooB those where the good days
 
i remember catching the ship out of mhaura with my friends marajade, trigger and shakaar, i remember seeing a rdm solo the sea horror with a Kclub. all right around NA PC release...
i remember getting owned by a water ele on the trip back by myself and getting raised by lluvia. i remember her being the first real high level to ever help me with anything, she got my kaz keys ^^;
i remember leveling whm because i loved to help people and raising people all day just because i could...
i remember getting killed by bunnies...
and i remember the star onion brigade being as cool as it got.

I remember paleblue being the coolest person in the world, the first person i ever met who was 75 and did nothing in game but help other people. Y'know, i think she still is ^^;

i remember an innocence now lost, a joy i once found in playing aimlessly, whisically that was replaced by a cold drive to aquire gear, reach new places, hit new goals.
 
I rememebr rank 3 was THE pinnacle to reach.
When I could never afford anything over 10k.
When venturing out in Garlaige Citel and Crawlers Nest felt like a real adventure.
When I saw a chocobo for the first time as a lvl 5ish noob run by me. I was soooo speechleess. Hell yeah! I thougth.
Organizing large scale Genkai 1 parties and mass wiping in the Necropolis.
When I first got a subligar. (Crazy to think its still the same rusty subligar i still wear to this day.)
Meeting alot of people wayyy back then, taht are now multi75s and dont even rememebr you anymore lol
 
I remember seeing a bazaar in Windurst, person wore full Opaline. I looked it up on Windurst AH and saw it was something like 200k and had almost never sold there. Between the cost and "extreme rarity" I was certain I'd never be able to afford it if I could even find a piece. :roll:

Nother time I got lost in Tahrongi and wound up in Sauromugue (no map). Got killed by Raptors, homepointed.
Week later I was told I hadto goto a place called Jeuno. . .
 
I remember when i was told stacks of Arrows sold for like 5k and saw a guy selling em for 35 gil each. I thought a stack was 12 not 99.

I remember when a high lvl person named Wimpy took me to Bastok from Windurst when i was lvl 7. He had a macro saying "para > <t>" I thought he was telling me to para mobs. So i did and died. Ended up waiting 20 mins for a raise. Nice guy though.

Good times.
 
I remember first starting to play and being in a linkshell with these awesome high levels. Clayburn's rdm had just gotten refresh and Sorcha and Boondock were so awesome they were even working on their AF pieces! I never ever thought I'd be as cool as them. They were like level 55!

I kinda feel bad having finished my fourth set of AF now <_< I thought I was the coolest, 1337est blm ever when I finished my first set though. God, I was soooo proud of that.
 
I remember running around as a wee-little 14 WHM and someone offering me a linkperal, and I tried to pay him for it.

I remember running from Windy to the Dunes as a level 7 WHM in a full alliance of nobody over level 8, when someone got aggro we all just let them die and if you died you had to HP and try to find a new group or do it by yourself. I think only about 4 of us actually made it to Mhuara.
 
Being one of the first high levels in my first ls..

People actually being friendly to random people on game..

When I thought AF was the greatest thing around and thought it meant something to have it..

When friends still had time to run around doing random stuff (nm camping, day long runs in ft ghelsba to see who could make the biggest train, boat rides in bibiki for no reason) instead of leveling up/gods/endgame shit only.

When I first got 100k and thought I was rich..

When friends still helped eachother instead of ignoring those that have helped them in the past..

When being a rdm was all I ever wanted in this game and it was still fun to play..

When Shinryuken got me killed on the boat to selbina at level 30ish by the sea horror..

When Shinryuken got me killed in Bibiki bay by running up a hill full of goblins just to "See what was up there"..

Doing my magicite run through Castle O with a full alliance... it took us 3 hours..

The first person I met in the game was Roadkill. I was on my first character, the hume, naked and bare-fisted out in South Gustaberg and looking around. So I'm running up to all these mobs and trying to figure out how to start smacking them. Road was coming by then on his galka and I asked him how to attack. :wacko: He taught me so much though he was still kinda new himself, and he brought me into my first linkshell.

I remember the first time I was in Konsch. Highlands with Road. He was telling me all about this humongous ram that appears sometimes that "will kill you." So I'm on auto-run behind him (long before I knew you could /follow) and I look down to my keyboard a sec to type something to him and when I look back up, I had about smacked face-first into Tremor Ram. I turned my happy ass around and ran back the way I'd came - thought I was frigged for sure, but I got lucky - but Road was laughing so hard watching me that he nearly got nicked himself.

My first linkshell gathering for a screenshot on Secret Beach at sunset in the dunes - Road, Vendrick, Dia, Wolfsbane, Anakareen, Del, Sia & Miya.

Freez taking me to get my Altep crystal and me seeing double earth weather in the desert for the first time. One of my favorite early screenshots is me invisible and two tornados in front of me in the distance.

First time I was on Selbina-Mhaura ferry pirates struck. I not only died, but had my dead body dumped on the dock at Mhaura. :biggrin:

Yeah I miss being new and having real adventures. Wish there was a way to keep that sense of fun and danger and excitement in the game still.
 
i remember killing spiny spipi like 50 times and thinking i was the shit with my 20k a cape and how my ls thought i was a master NM hunter or something lol.

When i thought crystals was the best way to make gil.

Throwing away beastmen seals....all the time.

when i was trying to complete the orcish axe mission at level 2 and this high level (i thought 30 was high level at the time) asks me...what are you doing way out here...its dangerous, looking back now...back then i thought being at the edge of ronfaure was WAY OUT THERE and dangerous cause of that....now its like..what was i thinking? lol

Eco-warrior, man those were fun.

seeing the menus for the first time and thinking "i will never learn all this crap..."

Everywhere i went in ronfaure for those first 10 levels, a fuckin orc would come out of nowhere and kill me.

getting to level 11, and trying to get to 12 in la theine but it taking ages on end, before one day i found out...you need a party...
 
I remember my first day I was in bastok Waiting for PerfectAngel to bring me a linkpearl to DirtyHabits linkshell and meeting Sisha and Lilpimp aka Nyyankee. They kept me company until PA showed up... a day later lol.

I remember hitting lvl 10 and Perfectangel taking me to the dunes and shouting "LVL 10RDM Looking for group!! 45 RDM Powerlevel comes with Him. Please Invite TLOC"

I remember meeting Most of my friends in the dunes during this time.. Ogami, Azafaraht, and Gwenyth to name a few. I remember Gwenyth taking me to Windy via ship to mhuara...No Sea Horror yet.. Then a few weeks later getting my keys to go to kazhamm Sirbait and Gainen taking me on the ship to go to Giddeus and Sea Horror Spawning and Sirbait hitting it as a lvl 50 DRK and all of us getting beat down lol. Then Sirbait saying "Dude wtf, I always kill these" lol not knowing it was an NM..

So much has happened since then and now, so much has changed, so many friends have changed, so many not friends anymore =(, so much bullshit and drama now... I think back and wish I could go back to those days sometimes.. we had so much fun... so little drama.. I miss Vendetta LS and all that were in it..

hey remeber that party we were in at the attowah chasm fighting antlions and one of those antlions that pop from under the ground spawned during a fight and wiped us out? was a long time ago but a really fun party
Click to expand...


HAHAHAHA

I remember that one, still give Dar a hard time about that.
 
I remember back when i thought the beastmen in West Ronfaure were the true definition of fear. I was level 3 no subjob and saw a level 10 player kill an orc and thought he was a god among men.

Later i remember being in a 3 person party of level 11-12 people. We all stopped to heal and while doing so... we saw a huge looking sheep (it was a ram). As it was walking towards us, one of the other guys says "so i here it aggros". Too bad we didn't think to run. We all died, but had a great laugh off of it that still cracks me up til this day. Sometimes, it was fun to die back in the day..

I remember my first big purchase. Level 38 Volans Boots for drgs. The stats weren't all that great but i was happy as hell to have them. I think it was +4 to jump accuracy......

Back in the day the game was just fun and worry free cause i didn't take it so seriously. Now a days the game can be really stressfull. Maat fight was rediculous, felt like i was gonna have a heart attack while fighting him O_o
 
I remember when I was a lvl 5 war in gustaberg lvling and some high lvl japanese player ran up to me and said {bazar} {please check it} - Took me a minute to figure out how to but when I did I hit the mother load

Tonnes of lvl 50-75 gear including a Nagan some darksteel armor swords shields rings earing etc etc- ALL 1 gil

I dropped everything I had on me - including my armor and my sweet sweet flint stones I handed in for gil. I took it allllll and then he did /bow and {goodbye}.

I ended up scoring about 600k in gear when it was all said and done....not even 5 hrs of game play and I was rich. Got Mariox to sell most of it for me in Jeuno lol.
