hmmmm i remember when,

-we used to try and make a sc for everyone in the pt

ok the skillchain is
blade rin-> tachi empi-> combo-> double thrust -> wasp sting
everyone got that?

-i sat on top of the hill in south gustaburg cooking wild sheep meat to make galka sausage on the fire up there, only to be killed 10-15 min before it was finished. ( i spent my first few days of the game making those things and doing nothing else)

-i checked my first JP and gota world of angry JP face tells from him (yeah i havent forgotten that yet chevrolet, you *******, and i got a face for you now t(','t)

-i used to sell my crstals to the shop in bastok mines for 14 gil each.

-when somebody led me to bastok markets and i realized that there were more than 10 people playing the game.(i never saw anyone hardly in bastok mines.)

-when a friend and i were going to go to jeuno for the first time but we turned around cause a big ugly goobue was blocking our path in pashow marshlands.

-when people used to warp out of the party to go feed chocobo for liscenese and leave the rest of us sitting there waiting on them in qufim.

-when the goblin leacher was the king of all mobs.

-when i joined my first alliance so we could try and kill a goblin leacher and we got owned.

-when i told my linkshell ninjas were useless because the ninja in our pt was hitting for 6-11 dmg in the jungle. (this was before bliktanking was invented, how ironic i would beocme a 75 ninja in the end)

-when hiptaru was level 50 and saw me camping leaping lizzy with leaping boots on and informed me that rare means you can only carry one of the item.

-when i was a level 6 ninja and leaping lizzy spawned right in front of me and i provoked it and died almost instantly.

-when two people on bismark thought they were above the rules and caused alot of chaos and now they are sitting here reading this thread remembering when they used to have characters.

Wow, I have so many memories of this game it isn't even funny.

I remember trying to find my way out of sandoria.

Trying to figure how iam going to buy weapons and armor

How to use the AH

What was bazzar and how to use it

How to get past E ronfoure

How vast la theine seemed

How we ran to selbina the first time at level 8 wiht a group and got killed along the way. Then how i got raised by a blm/whm at level 50 and how amazing to see a blm kick some but with magic.

Mission 5-2. Went up to the throne room with an alliance and our team went in first and we lost. The 2nd team won i think or left not sure. My teammates and I were dead for 57 mins and they gave up and hped. As soon as i was gonna give up, a whm came along and raise me and was kind enough to let me join. Then it was amazing to watch a 75 rdm and brd own the shadowlord

Losing in BCNM 50 against those sheep (god i hate those sheep)

Stunning Fenrir with my 62 blm and my insane fenrir party

Torinormi Canal and blm AF6 hat and the 15-20 minute battle we had with all the Links, that was like a real war we had for a while

Many more but it would take too much space

Yah i remember when i was on my first Selbing to Mhura Ship ride i just stayed inside the ship cause my friends told me there was a lv60+ NM that pops on the boat. So i stood inside, little that i know the NM did pop and some JP person Got Aggro and kite it through the ship. It came up to me and im like whats this? Interesting Monster... Sea Horror... Then the next thing u know it hits my twice both for 414pt of dmg. and i was a Lv18 WHM Exploring the game. Was interested in a boat ride. And i had like 100 something HP and i was over killed easy.

i remember when i was in ronfure sending blind invites, and tried to invite that npc dude who runs around

i remember when i saw my first battering ram, and thought the jp dude who killed it in 5 hits was invinceable.

i remember when i learned that elementals in lathine didnt like it when you casted barsleep.

i remember when everyone was friends and there was no LS gang MPK fights.

i remember when sprite was a 25 whm, letting her tanks die so she could charge 2k for raises.

i remember thinking that qufim was when you had graduated from being a noob, and you were an accomplished player

i remember when Bastok and san'doria allianced against windurst... cause windy controlled everywhere cept ronfure and gustaberg

i remember when zones would just crash, and if you were being chased from LT, and you made it to the dunes, you got spit back out to your death.

My most favorite memory was when I was a lvl 13 monk and I traveled all the way from Sandy to windy. I then learned about NM's via this site and I camped spini spipy and got the drop. I felt so rich when I had 30k from selling it

Heh, great thread idea ^.^

Hmm...I remember when, on my very first day, a tarutaru showed me how the ah worked and gave me two stacks of earth crystals to sell. sadly i never saw that guy again...i cant even remember his name.
Indeed, i remember how i was always very impressed with just how nice and helpfull other players seemed to be. I made it my goal to try and help others as much as i could.
I remember when I joined my first LS, EleusianherosBSD, after the leaders bf saved me in east saru from an agroed yag.
I remember when I was partied in valkurm and our tank made a crack about pulling a fire elementle and our thf actualy did. >.<
I remember when i got my first job to 23 (warrior) and quit it for blm because i could never get a party lol.
I remember when i finaly got blm to 50, I was so happy because i felt i could finaly offer real help to people. i spent a couple months doing nothin but cleaning up trains and offering raises in valkurm.
I remember Chrissy...if any of you get this referance </Comfort><You can have this.>
I also remember the changes. how, after going from lvl 8 to 50 in the same ls, i saw people grow apart and betray each other. (Eleusynia, what happened to you guys?)
I remember the huge surge of gill sellers in the Jery, Angel and Redapple ranks in windy which brought silk down to like 4k a stack.
And, I remeber when I first met Ami, who both redifined and reminded me why I played this game. (Love you hun, awsomest of friends ^^)
Unlike many of the people I know in game, I didnt know anyone when i started, as such I've done alot on my own or with pick up parties and have alot of memories.

I've played not quite a year - when I think of how I started....

* I remember my first login - I had RL friends that got me started. I belonged to a LS at lvl 1 and I thought that was awesome!

* I remember following my friends around that first day (and longer) coz (1) I had no clue what I was supposed to do (2) I didn't know how to read the maps (3) I didn't know anything! They had to teach me how to even equip my pearl.

* I remember dying rather quickly, after learning how to equip a weapon, fighting a Giant Bee - no one told me a level 1 WHM can't do that! I switched from WHM to THF immediately.

* I remember when a friend made the trip to San d'Oria for the first time - he was so excited about new places and monsters and people. I thought "the world is too big, I'll never keep up".

* I remember my first trip to the Dunes - I was terrified to move, certain that I was gonna die or get aggro and cause my party to die!

* I remember getting my first advanced job and doing it solo, because I thought if I can't do this alone, I don't deserve the job.

* I remember sitting in Qufim, lfg as THF 21, for hours. When I finally got invite, no WHM to be found. Grimson PL'd the party until we all got lvl 25! He walked on water as far as I was concerned as a result!! Thank you, Grimson!

* I remember my first venture in Kazham - got invite right off the airship (unusual for a THF!). A big "Thank you" to Ashburnitall for taking the time to teach me how to be a better THF.

* I remember the thrill I experienced in soloing Explorer's Footsteps to get Crawler's Nest Map - used almost all my CQs on Warp scrolls, but it was worth it. The thrill of soloing my AF coffers and picking the locks - not that long ago. The curse of a THF - you solo all the time and you hate to solo all the time.

* I remember my joy (still have it) when I reached a level that I could actually help others out - whether it's with a quest, a mission, AF, or pulling aggro and links off someone.

* I remember my first BCNM 40 - I didn't want anyone to know that I was afraid of letting them down. That was quite a few BCNM's ago :P

Best of all - there are still more memories to build :)

Ah...so many memories. I started early June last year.

*I remember being getting helpful tips from a high level when I was still below level 10. Also, befriended my first buddy, Tactless. Still buds to this day.

*I remember giving my crystals to the WarWarlock for conquest points.

*I remember xp'ing till level 14 in the Maze of Shakrami*spelling*. I miss those MM hunting parties.

*I remember once in the Dunes the constant /shout'ing for pt invites.

*I remember being dirt poor at level 20 and bumming lizard armor off a friend of mine. I'm ashamed of myself now since I used that armor set till I was level 30. Finally upgraded to *drum roll* studded leather armor. Ignorance was bliss back then >.>.

*I remember when a stack of silk thread was only 10k (currently leveling clothcraft through the SilkRoad).

I remember shouting for help for about 5-6 hours with Merodi when we needed help geting that cursed wand for the windy mission. We ended up geting 18people that all needed it and to my suprise almost everyone styed till the last person had their wand^^

I also remember a time not to long ago that i planed to quit the game and people like Merodi and Hiptaru convinsed me to stay.

The other thing I remember is Merodi telling me I cant quit till I help her get Rank 10 for Windy (still waiting to do that if ya havent done it yet XD) and i promised to wait till after that and she said she was going to change to sandy just to make sure I stayed.
Thanks for not leting me quit Merodi and Hip because now I'm haveing way to much fun with all the things to do in the game that i never thought I would be able to do like Dynamis ^^
I will allways remember those times and consider both of you friends for life. Thank you once again ^^

I remember......

When I first started playing this game, I was a lvl 5 whm and my rl fiancee told me that when I get to around lvl 10 I will need to get on a party. Of course I had many questions as to what a party was....
When he told me it would be with 5 different other people and we would be killing the same mob, I said, "That is not what I am going to do, I'm going to solo my way through the game." I honestly thought it would cut into my exp. *shrugs* Such a noob! *giggles*

I remember......

When Desolate (rl friend) took me to the Dunes for the first time. Those Gobs sure did seem to run a little faster than the ones in the highlands.

I remember......

When I was sitting at the outpost in the Dunes. No sub yet, and Asgaurd came up to me, told me to trade him, so I did. He gave me 15k.... which was a lot back then! He told me that it's rough being a mage and the gil would come in handy. *huggles Asgaurd* You inspired me to be the type of person I am on this game today.^^

I remember......

When everything was new I would get scared going to new areas and doing certain missions. 2-3 dragon made me so nervous. My palms got sweaty.... eeeeewwww, and my body tensed up from fear. Those were the good ol' days.... when I was actually worried for my lil taru. Now I just worry how much exp I am going to lose if I die.

I sure do miss being such a noob. pfft! What am I talking about? I still am. {/blush}

Umm, if by that you mean where did we all go...

Ganomba pretty much killed BSD with his stupidities (I've since deleted his account, so, he can't play anymore). And I think out of everyone else Eleryn, Bauka and myself are the only 2 who still play. Eleryn and I are in the same LS still but Bauka is off in another.

I remember when i first saw jerryz and the rest of the jerries and i thought "Huh, it sure is a coincidence they all have the same name!" same with the redapples and toms.

I remember when Shawnn helped me with SM1-2 and tried to teach me how to make macros... And gave me the linkpearl to DarkEternal where i met some good friends...

I remember when i thought 10k was rich

I remember killing warchief vatgit thinking i was hot sh*t

I remember taikobo and i remember wondering why he had a pumpkin on his head

I remember warning people when battering ram spawned in la'theine

I remember walking back from valkurm every day when i first went there to check my moghouse

I remember saying to my party once in valkurm "hey, why dont pull a bogy?"

I remember doing SM1-1 and thinking to myself "man, i'm never gonna find an orcish scout!"

And I remember trying to camp lizzy and getting frustrated 3 minutes later and quitting. actually, that still happens >.o

Remember when Hiptaru was selling all those astral rings to him self for 800k, and then someone bought one for 1 gil from him because he was trying to avoid AH fees? yeah, that was hilarious. Still a great move tho, Hip, wish I'd done it.

Also, remember when Darksteel Ore was 5k, and you could make Darksteel picks to smithing and make a massive profit? yeah I'm still kicking myself.
