FFXI Nostalgia/Why did I ever stop playing!?/Let's all go back to 2009/Never forget Kujata Thread

[Aksannyi]

People using {Bee} ... and a <call> ... in their pull macro ... ugh I would have blisted that guy.

[Aurara]

I loved it, lol.

[Aksannyi]

I was an auto-translate purist. It bugged the shit out of me when people would use something that might add to (instead of remove) confusion between people of different languages.

{May}{Bee} also drove me nuts.

[Aurara]

{I'm playing solo right now} was my personal favorite.


Edit:

This guy was super creepy, and said this kind of shit to me throughout my 6 years playing.

[Aksannyi]

I think {Are you alone?} for the ultimate creeper factor was mine.

[Meko]

This WHM that I was in a group with had the best one ever. It was something like this:

/p Oh, me so {Holy} me {/heal} you {Long time} - {Regen}

It took me a while to stop tabbing to complete things (until I started working in powershell).

[Kaslo]

I remember my FC at one point in 14 decided to make stupid autotranslate macros to relive them from XI, we made it like 3 pulls before we had to turn them all off.

[Aksannyi]

By the time I started doing endgame, the only macros I had that had any /p in them were for Protectra/Shellra so people wouldn't FUCKING RUN AWAY FROM MY BUFFS and for pulling. Everything else I cast with spellcast anyway so macros were pointless.

[Aurara]

I mainly just typed //shellrav or //protectrav spellcast <3 no real party macros except my /pull

[Tokitoki]

Wasn't somepage the site that got hacked and was stealing people's passwords?

At one point, yeah. I doubt anything malicious is on it anymore since it's so dead.

On the age thing, I started playing when I was 14. When LS members found out how young I was they didn't believe me. Apparently I skipped the idiot teen phase.

Day :D

lolya, I lost my account for nearly a year thanks to this. SE didn't even have a method of account recovery 5 years into running an MMO.

Jesus Christ, I remember that day. All of my 16 year old rage bubbling to the surface.

[Melena]

One day, one of our guild members, think it may have actually been Tredvolt thought it would be hilarious to change his pull macro to be a tell to some random linkshell person that wasn't even in the party. I'm honestly amazed no one murdered him.

[Day]

Day :D

lmfao that was the first semi big thing I ever killed/claimed.

[ronin sparthos]

I used FFT spell quotes for everything the first go around on WHM.

"Life's refreshing breeze, blow in energy! Cure!"
"Precious light, be our armor to protect us! Protect!"
"Spirits of life, return us! Raise!"

lul

[Cream Soda]

So did anybody ever do the Tsoo's headgear quest? Or the other 3 gobbie/quadav/orc ones? I don't think I ever saw another one. It was such a bullshit quest.

I had Tsoo Haja. Never used it though I liked the blue text being 50/50

[Cantih]

You guys actually had teenagers in your LS?

The fourth leader of my LS was a girl still in high school, and she did a damn fine job of it for years. I've seen plenty of teenagers behave more maturely than thirty year olds.

And to answer the "When did we get sushi?" question. You needed a key item to craft sushi, and I believe that exact mechanic wasn't introduced until the CoP expansion.

[zandterman]

The last two were this person named Halie or Haley or something. She used to play a dragoon. One day, Someone said that she died in a construction job accident where an entire wall or something basically fell on her.

Turned out, she, was really a he and could not live with the lie anymore LOL so he fabricated some type of story to kill this persona off. Then, it was like, yeah, i'm her friend and i'm gonna take over her account when in reality it was him and...well...shit just went south when the true story came out. Fun times.

oh, I was first NA to clear Dynamis-Xarc, first to do a lot of things. Fun.

Hey, I remember that. I helped organize the whole wyvern thing because said person was a long time dragoon. I'm even in the pictures. So much nostalgia there... a quite a few names I haven't seen in a long time that all came over from PSO way back at NA launch.

Lol, I used to do that.. Had to keep entertained while meriting on Brd somehow.

What are you up to now Melena? Have you kept in contact with any from the old crew? I always wonder where Tredvolt, Winraf and those guys ended up. I remember Win was trying to start a shell in the new FF but I'm not sure if that lasted long.
