I'm bored at work and was recalling the early days of my FFXI career and how I ended up on the Bahamut Server. Since I am so bored, I am going to share.
My FFXI story:
Me and my friend Kevin used to share a Mithra character on Quetzalcoatl server that we would play/level at work. His fiancee, Jenn, got a job as a POS software designer and they became aquainted with Ondori. Ondori would always tell stories about endgame FFXI & BG and would try to convince them to join Bahamut server and try to get to 75 so they could team up. Taking Ondori's advice, Kevin and I created seperate characters on Bahamut. His character was a RDM named Shaede, and my character was a WHM named Keinn.
Our original goal was to be more skillful at our jobs than anyone else on the server, get to 75, and eventually join Ondori in the ranks of BG. When our characters were around level 60, Shaede grew tired of the EXP grind that comes with playing FFXI. Sadly, one level before he could equip his RDM hat, he quit and converted over to WoW where he now has a 60 Rouge. I was sad to see him go, but I continued to play and eventually got my WHM to 75. Our original goal of trying to join BG at 75 sort of became obsolete without Shaede there to share it with, so I ended up joining a linkshell named 'Priory of Sion' where I am currently still am. Its comfy here. :D
It's been a long time. Soon I will start taking my third job to 75, but it seems like only yesterday that I was a 30WHM and doing my first Promy run with Shaede and Ondori. (We wiped to the boss and Shaede got yelled at by Joft.. lol Good times. Wish I took screenshots. )
Here is an old comic in memory of Shaede the RDM:
