Holy shit is that a perpetual hourglass in that guy's bazaar for 1k? Don't those things cost 1m?!?!!

I used to pop the "Windows" key off of my keyboard with a screwdriver so I wouldn't accidentally press it when reaching for ALT or CTRL and lose full screen mode.

Anyone with a subjob was badass.

Anyone with AF was fucking awesome.

BRD was "gay".

Dangruf Wadi XP parties.

Unlocking NIN, SAM and DRG requires an alliance.

Looking for a 6th member... "there's a 49 WAR seeking" - Everyone else: "WTF?"

Over-hunting on QSC Helm Beetles, pre-sushi when Dispel was rare among RDMs.

Explored Behemoth's Dominion, trying to find a Behemoth. I was disappointed to not find one. My second theory was, "it's a NM". I hung out there for three hours, because in 2003, all NMs were 2-3hr repops.

My first time to Windurst, from Bastok... I was Lv.20 WHM... we were there trying to activate the Rank 3 (Dragon BCNM) mission, but I messed up and didn't activate something. I had no Warp, no CP, and Warp Cudgels didn't exist. I was terrified of Buburimu, and didn't want to bother going back through there, let alone find Selbina. I decided I had to death warp.... so I took my 20 WHM into Sarutabaruta and tried to die. It was taking too long. So I walked to Buburimu to die. I deleveled to 19. After bitching about Buburimiu over LS chat, they kindly pointed out that I'm supposed to switch to a level 1 job before death warping.

NIN I did with 5 other people. It was hard, but it wasn't that bad <.<
DRG I was in Jeuno shouting (I know I'm sorry ; to see if anyone else needed the BC battle. A Japanese 60 WAR/SAM with a Polearm decided to help me. We went to Sandy and he killed the dragon with ease. Then decided to give me 10k. I'm not sure why...

I still remember his name, Alphaz.

Bought my first glass at level 30

[Koga]

Then decided to give me 10k. I'm not sure why...

I remeber camping Silk Catterpillar thinking I would trike it rich because it can drop multiple silk threads or some shit I read on Alla back when I was a Lv30BLM/10WHM or some shit and some RDM came by and killed it and i /cry'd and he gave me 10k.
not sure why I think the guy felt sorry for me thinking I would get gil from that thing.

Dia + Blaze Spikes + Tahrongi Canyon + Mandies.
Farming Saruta Cotton.

I was so excited when I finally hit 30 RDM because I could now get Banishga from my WHM sub. The badass that I was decided to go out and give -ga farming a whirl, because I'd heard so many rags-to-riches stories, on Allakazham, of BLMs who would gather up as much monsters as they could and just kill them all with one spell.

Needless to say, it didn't work out as planned.

Ahaha I use to do that when I head to horlais peak but I stopped doing it cause one time I gather sooooo many that when I stopped to cast a -ga spell, I got interrupts like mad but that wasn't even the bad part. . .I tried to zone since I was a couple of yards away but then I realize I can't move cause I was in animation lock. Needless to say, I had to engage one by one and escaped that ordeal inches away from death.

[Dezzimal]

Not that old, but here's one for Asurans that still makes me chuckle:

The VikingSP versus UAF Gilseller Wars.

and that shemale Sweetkitty or w/e who led viking showed up in allakhazam IRC (don't ask) for a solid month straight posting pictures of "her friends".

[Octavious]

I remember farming Tremor Rams for money on my DRG...lol

Octy>Hey Guys, is Steelfleece a tough NM?
LS>Huh? Oh Shi- don't touch that.
Octy>Fine...*tries anyway*

--5seconds later--

Octy>OH GAWD!HAAALP

[Malaquist]

Wait, they told you not to kill it? When someone in my shell found Waraxe Beak as a 40ish SAM we told him to go for it.

I attempted to kill him one day solo as 75THF/NIN. I forgot he had all the -gas and stuff though so it didnt too well I never expected to win anyway, I was just bored.

[Indalecia]

Found Waraxe one day while dicking around on smn. LS was like "Go for it, he's a pansy" n'such. Yeah, engaged didn't think much of it, then Stonega IV registered in my log. "ohhh shiiit..." started running. Killed it, but boy was i pissed. XD

[supaswimma]

the good ol days fighting shadowlord in af, and losing the first three times

hoppin on a chocobo just to explore jungner forest and all the other areas

hearing about dynamis from the few lev 75 players at the time, and hearing all the amazing stories about how many mobs there are

[Warudo Ecksu]

Man, I remember reading Gigogoomba/Setsuko/Wet's thread about that. Then I remember the selling of Wet and it ended up in my linkshell and I was utterly mortified ahahaha

Hahahaha I remember the Gigogoomba/Makojin drama. Basically Makojin treated Gigogoomba/Setsuko like shit and she came to BG forums explaining the whole situation and asking for advice. I don't remember the specifics but BG told her to grow a fucking spine and GTFO, and she went all emo and edited all her posts.

It was such a sweet e-relationship too, they even got an in-game marriage ;_;

That was some classic drama.

That was a long time ago and it wasn't an e-relationship. we lived together for two years, but ahhhh the stupid things we do when we're young. But here I always thought people would remember the vampiresoul/mako CHRAM incident more than anything

[Rasantath]

zoning into crawlers nest and finding 20 crawlers walking slowly away. one or maybe two being a soldier crawler.
then charming a worker and tossing it into the fray and watching it die in 15 seconds. then repeating until they were all dead.

Also those fucking RDMs were too poor for Dispel.

Anyone remember the army of lvl20 summoners skilling their smn magic to 60+ outside SanD back when the controversial mini-fork avatar quests came out? ;/

[Tokitoki]
