Screenshot Request

[MattaruFenrir]

Hiho.
Purely for nostalgia:
Does anyone have screenshots of

-The Event where the Goblins were Riding the Chocobos [Screenshot of aforementioned Goblin atop a chocobo]

-The long queues that formed at the BC when the NPC quest was introduced

Thanks!

[Antithesis]

Took awhile to find it

I remember that. I just ran up to the hut and clicked on it / entered BC.

The long ass line of people didn't load on my screen until after I was out and I saw what I had done lol. Luckily no one noticed because Ext our resident JP hitler was busy trying to be line police and yelling at people in auto translate.

Oooooh. Thanks dude. Once I get a bigger picture, I'mma make some avatars, and maybe stick a goblin reaper atop one of those chocos.
Thanks for the screenies. Those massive queues...Quite impressive how they formed spontaneously. That was the only occasion I remember for there ever being a queue for anything.
The trick was: Invisible, wait, wait wait, stab stab stab.

@Deevo: Ext, Lovely xD

I have way too many screenshots online (hundreds upon hundreds) and I named my gobbierider one something odd so I can't find it, but here are my pictures of the lines:

Ah ha. I found the file and renamed it to something reasonable. Linking it instead of IMGing it, since it's not resized.

Um, there was something about digging up cards... I think you had to follow the mounted goblin and do some sort of command, then trade cards to... another person? some NPC somewhere?

I think that was only half of the event, too.

Allakhazam.com: Final Fantasy XI: Mob: Goblin Rider (lolalla of course)

I find this interesting. I've been playing the game since very close to NA release and I don't remember this event at all (There was like 3 months where I didn't have internet, but I don't remember if that was around new years time or not). I'd definately like to see some goblinr iders though.

It was an NPC, and you had to make card pairs or something, they were like Ebisu cards and some such. I can't even remember what the quest rewards were.

How in altana's name did I miss chocobo mounted goblins. I remember those lines though and the odd asshole who thought they were too good to wait like the rest of us. Good times.

[seph32]

Damn I remember those long lines I just said fuckit when it just came out and waited a few weeks.
I remember my friend goes: Fuck I'm not going to stand and wait for my turn I'll just jump in line!

[DAKPluto]

Somewhere I have screenshots of the long ass lines for 1st day Diabolos....


And pics of all the dead Astral-burn parties getting kicked out, lol.

[Tricen]

l0l I cut the shit out of people hen the line thing started. Most retarded thing I have ever seen in my life

[Falisa]

My server got La Vaule last week and a group in my LS was doing that BCNM every night. The JPs started lining up for it but all the NAs were cutting in line for it. It was funny hearing the stuff the JPs were calling them, something like "cherryboy"

I wonder why they haven't reused the hell out of this event, like they have the others?

I can't remember if it was fun or not, but it'd be nice to see something "new" (newish) instead of the same stuff over and over.
