speaking of dangerous zones, i still remember one of my fondest memories in 1.xx was when i just gotten to lvl 30ish, somehow ninja'd my way up to m.d.'s aetheryte and was exploring dodging ehre and there. but i had set my home point cause i knew i was gonna die exploring the rest of the zone. well... yeah, no anima left, running out of gil due to deaths.. and i couldnt make it past the damned mobs gaurding a tunnel to get bk to uldah >.> finally broke down and had my fiance and ls members come and sac pulled me to freedom!! finally made it home safe and sound with a new found feeling of exploration achieved. now... only i can hope, one day, maybe one day i can get some of that back!
