If you weren’t autofollowing the one guard walking in circles in port Jeuno were you even afk?

[NynJa]

What is this following a guard shit??

Moggles all day every day

Can’t enjoy shout channel shitposting while staring at a Moogle

Friend of mine from said LS used to wear almost full PLD AF2 and walk in circles around the upper Ru Lude ring. Almost full because he was wearing a bronze subligar.

Think he eventually was wearing Kaiser gear because why not? Still had the subligar.

small male taru shaggy red hair

Finally get Dalmatica, still have to resort to black cloak, the life of a BLM.

[Salodin]

Always had to be the emo BLM in a black cloak lol

Or the pump rdm hat with an aketon

I liked some of the COP poppable NMs. Like the fast cast slippers and things like that. They were fun events you could do with the LS that broke up the monotony.

I used to rock juggernaut/seiryu’s just to get the /tells talking shit about my fake rid. Then I’d pop on rid/seiryu’s and be like “pleas tell me more.”

Gear wise iirc I usually had full heca for town gear on war for a few reasons. I was galka so it was hideous. Something always felt right about having 5/5 of anything on. And I didn’t have e.bod so I was always embarrassed to just be rocking HQ hauberk.

I did eventually ninja lot e.bod from some random LS from Odin or w/e it was near the end of my playing days because I was a young entitled little shitbag. It was just some pixels on a vidya game, but that actually had a pretty profound impact on me. I lied about what happened, lied about selling my account then recalling it, bunch of stupid shit both in game and here. The amount of guilt I carried with me over something so stupid ended up changing my perspective on things IRL and I pulled a 180 and like to think I became a better person because of it. I’m just glad I learned what a dbag I was courtesy of a game rather than some horrible real life situation.

God I was a turd. One of those elitist assholes that loved look down on people because I got lucky as fuck with some drops and spent every waking hour on a god damn game lol.

Nah, take that sorry part out. There’s so much cringe happening in that post I’m downright proud of myself.

I played FFXI for the first time when I was 13 in 2004. It was the first MMO I ever played. The tl:dr version of my experience is that, post-NA release FFXI was so good for me, it still ranks as probably the best overall experience I've had in my life. It was definitely the best experience I've had playing a video game. It really was that good. I actually still believe that FFXI (when the game was at its peak) was better than sex, and it was better than any drug I've consumed. Despite all that, when I think of FFXI now, my overall feeling is one of sadness. I miss the people I played FFXI with. I had various friends disappear, quit the game or get banned. Some also sold their accounts. The lesson I learned was: don't get too attached to people when you only know them online. I was kind of lacking in the RL friends department when I played FFXI, so the friends I had in-game meant the world to me. There are some people from FFXI who I haven't talked to in nearly 18 years, yet I sometimes still wonder to myself: are they alive, and if so, where are they now? Most of them probably won't remember me, but I remember all of them. I am also saddened at the decline in the FFXI player population. I wish that FFXI had achieved the same level of popularity that XIV currently has, but it never came close unfortunately. Does anyone feel as strongly about FFXI as me?

Same except I don't miss the people as much as I miss sitting in the pit mashing enter so I could claim a Fafnir just so others couldn't have it.
