Meteor Survivor Day

On November 11, 2012 Meteor descended upon Eorzea bringing about the rebirth of our world. For many of us that meant saying goodbye to our characters, goodbye to all the friends we made in Eorzea.

In this thread we remember our last days before Meteor. Post screenshots, connect with long lost friends, reconstruct the great Goobbue wall of Ul'dah, or even tell stories of your days before the calamity.

Happy Meteor Survivor Day everyone.

It kinda goes hand-in-hand with Veteran's day when you think about it.
Happy both days everyone!

That is kind of funny that the first anniversary of the Calamity is on Veteran's Day. Happy Meteor Survivor Day Everyone!

Sounds like you missed out :p Shhh... no tears.

Quite ironic that on the day of Eorzeas downfall from Bahamut, that one year later I clear Bahamut's Coil.

Don't make me remember version 1.0 once more, I miss it too much already.

Happy Meteor Survivor Day for everyone! I can proudly say that I was there, and survived!

A year already... where has that time gone? I still remember the anticipation, the 'doomsday clock' counter on the loginscreen, the gloomy jaundiced tone of everything, that haunting remix of Answers replacing all zone BGM, and of course, server instability (I couldn't get to Mor Dhona as I got agroed by a goblin on the way and just homepointed back to Gridania, then I just sat in the Airship Dock there awaiting the end, until I was booted off the server half an hour before.).

My final screenshot I took just before my ill-fated attempt to participate in the Battle of Carteneau:

(I'm sorry for the messy GUI - I'd changed displays and the resolution was messed up, hence the interface went funny).

I don't know why it should say called a happy event though, given Dalamud's apocalyptic nature, but it's still worth remembering (as well as the real-life day of remembrance it also happens to coincide with).

I quit before Meteor and came back for Alpha. What does that make me?

Ill never forget that day! and to see the movie after we lost connection was sweet and to be there...it wasn't so glamorous and lag was everywhere but still nice to have been part of...i miss V1.

Seeing the end of an era video/movie right after the servers went down was great.. still an excellent piece, but it had the most impact at that point (particularly if you were fighting the server crashes to get back in.. I think we left a few of them melted by the end ^^;;)

Not just Veteran's Day, it's also Remembrance Day up here in Canada.

;__;7 RIP Louis. You did good.

After a few days of /praying to the Twelve, forming Goobbue walls outside Ul'dah, running around Mor Dhona trying to stop the flow of Imperials and just having a blast, me and my linkshell ported back to Limsa for one final prayer to the Navigator and to watch Dalamud fall. Months spent watching the lesser moon get closer and closer, a few weeks with it looming so close that weather patterns were disrupted and the XIVth legion's airships filled our skies night and day, we all gathered as friends at what is now called the Anchor Yard. A final salute to the Admiral by us Maelstroms, and that was that.

One of the most powerful moments in my gaming career, and though 2.0 lacks a lot of what I loved in 1.xx, this game will forever be special for it.

I remember...

There we go! I was hoping to see a goobbue wall SS!

I was there during the final hours and was one of the people who got kicked before the battle started and was unable to come back on.
Never forget the battle for Ul'Hah!

(Also Rememberance Day, don't forget that either. It's important to remember the actual people who died fighting!)

You can't do both..?

Does that mean all the meteor survivors can finally get the meteor survivor shirt/polo? or just be able to finally buy the damn thing?

Those are not the only vets that died protecting your freedoms.
