Dear veteran FFXI players

[Nume]

I was Numemonja on Hades server and was a member of AscendantSky, one of the oldest HNMLSs of FFXI.

My fondest memories have to be our overall rivalry against our, back then, rival LS, Excellence and our first Vrtra kill.

The Vrtra kill was one of the first serverwide and was at a time when there were still no strategies on how to kill it. The battle was an epic confrontation which lasted a few hours. At 1% health, one of our Garudas hit Vrtra from the back and made it spike flail which resulted in a complete wipe of the alliance, but by some stroke of luck I evaded it. I still remember all the others around me getting thrown past me against the walls of the cave. Everybody thought it was over. Scared and the same time frustrated that the battle was lost because it would start recovering in seconds, I buffed with all I had and charged blindly at the wyrm and Guillotined it head on.

I was expecting to drop dead after that, but instead Vrtra dropped to my feet amidst some epic shouting from my LS mates. That was one of the best feelings I had ingame.

Looking forward to FFXIV giving me more of these kinds of feelings.
