Great early moments, Garliage Citadel, trains to the zone, Crawler's nest trains, Valkrum trains, just the carnage of newbs at zone lines. Waiting to be able to go back to camp and continue the 1700exp/hour grind.. the walking to new nations, the long ass journeys. Epicness of the land. First time NM fights, Serket and Simurgh, and Roc. Those are the ones that really got my HNM journey started. From a lvl 60-65 BLM. 100+ people in the zone, trying to get claim and the drama the ensued. Those were the first battles, of 1000s to come.
So many memories. Shout out to Shokox, seen him on here still. Couple old school Junglist, Terria. Man... my heart is racing going back to the stories, fights, battles, arguments, claims, hacks...
Ramzus, Ant, Bowser, Bisquick, Civy, Cullen, Shinyada, Secure, Lief, Renoturk, Stiltz, RIP Arridu, Jrunk, Muadib, Merzan, Batang, Lamp, Hellva, Gadritan, Terria, PerfectionLS, MetalRobotsLS, FrenzyLS, CondotteriLS. GreyRabbits, HellFamily. So many more JPs, and NAs I can't remember.. but thanks to you all, so many moments, hours and time spent. Never forget you.
Favorite memories... Age 12-18. Late night claims. POP, alarm shoots you up, don't know what time it is til the battle is over. But going through my friends list at 1am-8am and gettings my JPs friends and any NA HNMLS to come help, just cause they were awake and nothing else to do. Seeing that kind of teamwork, not much caring for the drop, and just enjoying the thrill of the kill. Worth every minute of sleep lost.
Tiamat 2 man holds, 3 accounts. or 4.
Khim 5-6 man kills.
140+ account Nidhogg day 7+
Any and all wipes by anyone, just the more hilarious stuff ever. The /talk chat, the chirping.
Anyone and everyone I have ever met, the society that drove this game is incredible. It'll never be found or created in any other game, ever. Thanks to everyone who helped me, thanks to anyone who partied with me, thanks to an incredible list of people. This is a small tribute to all the people and friends I've met. 5 accounts, couple hundred dollars in gil, thousands of hours spent, 3 laptops, 3 PS2s, 1 Xbox 360, an insane adventure I'll never ever forget.
I still to this day, use FFXI in occasional business chat, when job hunting, or describing what leadership I posses.
Being 16-20 years old and leading a group of upwards of 18-30 people on a daily basis. From all over the country, and even the world. All different ages, sex, ethnicity, and more. Backgrounds, lifestyles, livelihoods. It has created a real deep trait in my personality and what I want to do in life, lead.
Thanks to BG, you've grown so much over the years. From a small time LS, with nifty videos to this huge community that now keeps us all together in one way or another.
Much love, anyone who has anything to chime in on, please do.
