Back in my day...

[Alerith]

When that day comes, and 2.0 is released and (hopefully) waves upon waves of new players come in, what are you gonna tell them?

"I was there when the Empire invaded the Shroud. I stood and held the line."
"I witnessed Dalamud fall."
"I slew the White Raven/Black Wolf, Legatus(s) of the Empire."


What is it you would want to say that you experienced over players just joining for the first time when all this becomes inaccessible?

EDIT: Oh, and lest us forget the classics:

"I didn't have combos!"
"Ifrit killed me with server lag!"
"One synth took 15 minutes!"

[Delsus]

I remember when we had no item search function at the wards, and we had to check every retainer to not find what we want.

[viion]

I played during a time when EXP was random and had fatigue!

[Dragon]

I'll remember back in the day when we were talking about how we'd be talking about the not-so-amazing stuff that happened back in the day.

[RathSkybreaker]

I played when a legitimate way to level up was smashing doblyn face for hours and we didn't have manuals!

[Sephrick]

I was there when no one could level blacksmith because no one was a high enough level blacksmith to make a tool component for low level blacksmiths.

Oh, the joy of the release crafting system.

[Captaindownsyndrome]

i recall when i could ware level 50 gear at level 1

[Zaaku]

I was here when everyone PL'd to cap and the entire population of the Legacy Players ran around with so many Red Crowns it looked like a pond of cranberries.
