Haven't read all of this yet, but:

- The EXP patch, and all of the complainers with 2 or more jobs at 75.

- Talking to a Ranger who hit 75 a day before the Ranger nerfs were announced.

Edit: - Wiping to Genbu in the HNM LS I just got in, which was a Thai LS. 5555555555

weapon skills couldn't double attack

dia II wasn't considered worth casting due to the 60 mp price tag

[Kaelan]

Haste wasn't considered worth casting due to the 40 mp price tag

It was a great time for those of us that took a year and a half to get anything to 50+.

Talking to a Ranger who hit 75 a day before the Ranger nerfs were announced.

I was leveling with a ranger set at the time and as soon as they announced the nerf it just collapsed in on itself. I think I got all of 72 and 73 from farming sky pops.

I didn't make snide comments to those who didn't play their jobs correctly and/or were douchebags.
20+ people camped Spook at once because (and this is is almost a direct quote from some 75 SAM that was camping it once), "Camping Spook makes it easier and faster to get nice gear than doing any dumb end game stuff"

Lets go kill marids we'll get like 3k exp per marid.

(Not that long ago but was still pwn dont see why it was nerfed ;

Apparently SE saw something wrong with people hitting level 60 in two days. (36k/hr exp parties with no level penalty)

36k per hour = less than 4 hours from 50 to 60 (w/o ring). *heart attack*

Old days:
We god chain 5 for 210 in bibiki bay and gosh darn it that was swell.

Logging into an LS with the lsmes "gone to wow" in Nov. '05

LS>>OMG YOU CAN GET CHAIN 6????

Wait what? How were people getting to level 60 in two days? I'm confused as to how this worked, cuz the only nerf I ever heard about was limited spawns on pets from monsters, and I thought that happened before ToAU came out. Or are we talking chigoes not dying to crits/WS at the beginning, from the Marids? Or something.

[vegetaa]

You could have people killing the chigoe, and a low level guy getting full exp from them without any exp penalty from the level difference.

'04 Summerfest, the best event ever.

Khroma Ore deflation gooooooooooooo[/quote:dead8]

I guess I get to be the guy who rains on the parade who mentions that Khroma Ores are from Mount Zhayolm, not Halvung.

Old summerfest let you zone out of wherever it put you, so you'd still get a free warp to Halvung and free hour-long sneak/invis out to Mount Z if they ran it the same way. I forget if you lost the cap when you zoned or not, you probably did... but it would still be a slight time/money saver to get out there.

You lost the sneak and invisible when you zoned as well.

I wish I could actually pick up the physical remnants of shattered dreams. I would put them in my bath tub and swim in them as best I could, like Scrooge McDuck and his vault of money.

[Malaquist]

That's why it's only slight! But I'll take whatever free things I can get.

Wouldn't shattered dreams have sharp edges? Not to mention that you'd seriously injure yourself trying to dive into a bin full of coins.

Shattered dreams are nothing but tears of sorrow of those whom have been crushed by Septimus. It's like swimming in a pool of salt water created by human tears.

I'd file down the edges first.

April '05: talking to a 75 MNK friend about buying Byrnie for my 60NIN to try and DD and him saying "NIN can't DD, they only tank"

Spet '05: talking to same friend in Aery one day when I showed up in an HNM kit for the first time (arhat's, BQR, etc) "what are you doing? NIN can't tank Fafnir"
