You mean this?

I didn't know shit about it. I was always hanging in San d'Oria. Only thing that really REALLY sticks out about beta was the Gigantoad event where we crashed the servers several times.

I heard that the longer you leave those things in your in-box, the higher the hq rate is! gogo try it!

If that was true, I'd probably HQ holy water x24 or something.

Seriously, it was the first time the game had sent me anything other than AH money. I was a newbie, and it was the first HQ crystal I'd ever seen. (Guilds didn't have GP items then). If it'd been earth, I'd have used it ages ago. Light? I'm a 89 Clothcrafter. WTF do I use an light crystal on?

Goldfish Bowl! Or a Fighting Fish Tank if you feel fancy.

The Gigantoads were outside of the towns and they crashed the servers because it was a stress test. >_> It was pretty much the same exact thing as the Twinkling Treant event. Which, by the way, was the best event in the history of FFXI. I feel sorry for you chumps you started after that Christmas event.

the Twinkling Treant event.

Or as I like to call it, the event that made your airship pass worthless.

Wasn't Fairy and Midgardsormr the two last servers to complete this event (requiring a deadline extension), and were very close to being the only servers without OPs?

Or was SE planning all along to give every server OPs, and would have kept extending the deadline until they finished...

[Not Kuno]

I think one of the servers didnt make it in time and they gave them the OPs anyway.

probably. i remember when JoL came out they were comparing his regen to TT regen... but i remember TT regen was something horrible

[Kyreth]

Originially TT regen was so bad you would see 15 people blast the hell out of it...and it'd barely bump the health bar. And promptly go up to 100% a second later.

Buggy as hell, part of the reason I think they extended the event. For the first few days, you couldn't do a thing (other than skill up on the tree ).

[Khamsin]

I seem to recall they gave them a deadline extension, and both Fairy and Midgardsormr did finish before the extension. I think Fairy was the last one, overall. I don't remember one actually failing (i.e. without an extension from SE to let them complete it).
