    HAPPY 13th BIRTHDAY BG!

    We turned 13 today! Break out the fidget spinners and kool-aid guys, were having a dance fight!


    But in all seriousness, thank you for 13 really interesting years, like what were any of you thinking coming here. But were glad you did because some friendships were forged deep because of this place.

    We have official BG shirts that I wanted to get prepped before the anniversary but sadly the approval process for the Amazon merch store got slowed down. But Ill have them soon and eventually some polos for those of you wanting to sneak into work with a bitchin dragon on your chest instead of a dude on a horse.

    Love all of you, some of you more than others, but all of you none the less.


    Behold the first thread WHICH YOU WILL NOT POST IN.

    I could have bought an 11 pull and have 1000 gems left over, but all I got was this silly title.

    Bring back Big Kills!

    Pre-schism lurker circa 2004(?). No idea if I made the account before or after all hell broke loose. I was still in college camping Lord of Onzozo before I divested my FFXI account to an LS mate (who eventually joined the BG LS)

    Wow, 13 years already hey? I remember when Ondori started this place up... little did he know what it would eventually turn in to. BG would evolve into a worldwide haven for both hardcore and casual people alike complete with both bleeding edge content and general content guides and conversation. The famous videos of big HNM kills would be born and people would flock to see them when they came out. Some of the craziest, wildest XI drama and events occurred here too, which now have their own link at the top of the forums. Outside of XI, general discussion forums created immortal features like the Random Image Thread (whose offspring is still going to this day) well before the advent of reddit.

    I very much value the last 13 years here, as I have met some incredible people that I call friends well over a decade later.

    Happy 13 years. I know I've only been a member for 4 of them. But they have been great years. I honestly don't remember how I even joined. I thunk it was because of ragns

    You wouldn't know that though because you've demonstrably never picked up a book nor educated yourself on the matter. Let me guess, overweight housewife?

    problem with BG Big Kills is it would have to be a speedrun thing which would be hard to do because people can manipulate screenshots and obviously everything would be garbo when the next tier gear game out, etc.

    maybe though, maybe.

    I joke of course. Back when MMOs didn't have instanced content it was a fun rivalry to lay claim to world pops. Not anymore. And FFXIV isn't like WoW with races for world first mythic raiding with everyone popping months of farmed consumables for runs. I'm too old to care about World First races anymore.

    Happy Birthday BG thanks for becoming such a ubiquitous part of my life and time wasting strategies. I can't believe I have been on these forums for so long.

    Lets grow old together... oh wait we have.

    So who is going to introduce BG to their kids? Will the next generation take over the forums? Will we all be posting here about our 80th birthdays and how retirement is treating us?

    Happy Birthday! Just 7 days before mine, damn. I remember coming here for Kirin, that shit amazed the fuck outta me. Never left. I get yelled at almost every day for BG'ing from my phone, can't stop.

    Thanks for everything. From video game bullshit and drama to real life hardships, BG is something else. What a great avenue to have available to us all these years.

    I think the term is aging gracefully (hopefully?).
