I remember~

[Klutz]

-Chocobos at Mea costing over 10K to rent due to the high traffic. If I recall correctly sometimes they cost nearly 30K to rent.

Oh god this. Nothing worse than having to spend like 20k on a Choco to get to a Level 60-63 PT in LoO. Most of the time my PT would just walk.

[Eilistrae]

I remember camping Tiamat and Khimaira with one mule rather than a full alliance of mules

[Savanah]

I remember...

-Soloing as Red Mage from 1-25 back in '03, killing a high T for 200 xp in the low 20s in Valkurm. Still proud of that little achievement to this day.

-A 65 JP thief helping me get all my SJ items and even taking me clear to the alternate bones camp outside konschtat or w/e that is.

-When I got my bard to 75 before the XP nerf as a mithra and people in awe of it, because mithra bards were epically rare.

-Subbing SMN on my red mage so I could help with the Aerial Armor rotation for the plds on Fafhogg in '04/'05.

-Failing 10 times at RDM maat because he could spam Blizzard 3 before they nerfed him. Then beating him the first try after the nerf patch.

-Buying Phalanx for 250K and having people actually recognize the effort it took to get that kind of money for such a rare spell.

-Being denied a merit party on my bard because mithra sucked at them and their buffs weren't as strong. Yes, this happened *alot*. People in '04 were ignorant as hell.

-Having citadel completely shut down for XP for over a half hour while the 50 bombs, pots weapons and ghosts took their sweet time pathing home.

-Having one idiot get too close to the above mobs, and train the entire damn works of them back to the enterance again when they had almost cleared.

-When playing an Elvaan Ranger meant you sucked at life because people thought (myself included at the time) they couldn't hit the broad side of a barn. Thank you, Brady guide, for screwing up my first year of FFXI.

-When having a light staff meant you were world class elite.

-When having a set of elemental staves meant you bought gil, but were still godly anyway.

-When I sold an osode during the great inflation for 125M.

-When I subsequently blew it all on a NQ Hauby, NQ ele staves and 6 exploding subligars.

-When people would have hissy fits about who had the rights to front weapon camp, and would try to steal it from others. Then both parties would get shittier exp because both were too stubborn to care.

-When anything less than 40-50 people in a city dynamis = failure. They could still barely clear to the end boss, and see zero drops the entire run in Bastok.

-Being an adaman geared paladin meant you were far above average. Having a piece of relic armor meant you were beyond elite.

-Having to have sky by the time you hit 70. If you didn't, have fun xping past the moongate instead of the leet xp at weapon camps in sky.
