[Picoman]

Back in my day, i got an Ebony Log.
Back in my day, it was 120k for one NPC repair to 75%.
Back in my day, Nawana Mines 15-man Behest and Leve-Linking was the shiz.

[LazyBarakat]

Back in my day we used to make tons of money just by doing leves

[Amherst]

Back in my day they were called "horsebirds".

[HiirNoivl]

Back in my day I fished in Grade 10 the same way I fished in Grade 1!

[Rydin]

Back in my day, experimenting with different quantities and types of ingredients was the only way to craft new items.

Real talk... I miss that. I would rather they didn't just give us the recipes.... But I bet a lot of people like that... so whatever

I remember when killing a mob stronger than you didn't guarantee you any XP at all. We had physical levels, leves was the only real way to level up. And anywhere you wanted to go, you went on FOOT!

[Dragon]

Back in my day, killing Aldgoats & Dodos outside of Limsa was considered the rite of passage.

Edit: also back in my day, you had to deal with dying to a peiste outside of Ul'dah.

Back in my day, I really wanted to play this game, only to find out that I haven't subscribed to any IPs.

And now that I can, I enjoyed it!

Back when I started out, people could wear whatever they wanted without their pants flying off when they touched a radical, and weren't inexplicably repelled by shinier things.

We hitched on people and creatures a little before we passed through them, and they actually felt a tiny bit more real, and less like ghosts.

The creatures were such a size you could believe they were animals might really be able to exist, and it felt like for all that was so horribly wrong, you could console yourself in how they at least tried so hard to remember the little things helped you believe in the world they were giving you.

Still, we have so, so much fun now, don't we? But back then.. I didn't have to work quite so hard to forget this was all just some silly little game.

[Firon]

Back in my day lvl 20 cactars did 1k needles when you didn't have 1k hp.
