I remember playing beta and 18 months later still playing beta.
I remember playing beta and 18 months later still playing beta.
Back in my days:
-Getting 500skill per raptor was incredible.
-When you would go try fight 20levels more high than you.
-Everyenemy and his mother could range attack you from the other part of map.
-When there was a Gobbue, Boar and a Peiste almost in the exit of each city only to say hello and beat you down.
-When arriving to Mor Dhona was actually challenging.
-When craft was not only smashing 1 button.
-Mages had more than 2 spells.
-All ARC would use level 1 arrows.
-When you crafted arrows and the result was 3 arrows.
-When staring at a bar fill up (stamina) was all you could do.
-Mages could hit from far and had weapon skills capables to make a Great Buffalo falls on his kneels.
-When THM was a tank.
-Leves could make you gain 50k skill and 100k gil.
-When you were level 1 fisher and you could never, not even in leve, hook up a fish unless you were da.. lucky.
-When running to gridania from uldah due no animas was a pain in the ass.
-Mages could wear heavy plated gear because of defense.
-Finding someone with one craft at 50 was actually amazing.
-Every DD was using a tricorne and feel cool.
-When retainers reset every mainte or crash of the zone-server.
-When more than 50 people could wait on a zone for the weather change for claim a NM.
-You had yoru inventory filled by NQ +1 +2 +3 of everything.
-You didn't care about server lag.
-You needed thousand materials for only repair your gear.
BUff... i better stop...
Back in my day THM was everything... tank, healer, doter, nuker, etc
And 15-man eft parties..... @_@

Back in my day, you zoned the server. lol@empty zones outside Limsa in alpha 'cause the zone server crashed repeatedly.
More (as i craft):
-Tanaka ruled this game.
-ARC was god and MRD the oldloldrk of FFXI.
-You found a cave and go in to explore.
-The first time you take the ship to Limsa was an enjoying experience.
-Clases meant nothing and you only wanted to fill up the party and go get skill.
-The first time you saw that yellow bar which meaning you didn't know, become red.
-Crabs had a second attack (water gunnnnnnnnnnnnnn).
-Skeleton were the worst thing you could face on a leve.
-Gridania and Limsa was full of people.
-Sometimes Aetheryte crystal and enemys won't load after maintenances.
-Seasonal events were only touch a bell.

In my day, it was close to impossible for CNJ to gain any SP when in a party. Soooo frustrating.
In my day doing a day's leves took anywhere from six to eight hours.
I remember when we couldn't remove AWALL linkshell members when they were offline or too far away.
