Bahahahahah I remember that. However, I also do not miss when shout groups had this stupid mage requirement for Ifrit! Rawr! DRG only or go home! (Even when I mained WHM instead).

In a weird way, I remember when it was easier to teach people anything about the game. Like I was able to teach full groups United We Stand all the time. I tried to teach someone in DF half the time and we'd just end up dying anyway. It's also less fun for some reason a good majority.

Maybe in 1.0 people took this game less seriously, or maybe my memory is really horridly off. XD
