I remember when I could pay for my FFXI account without having to hire a lawyer to handle the complexities of logging in.

I remember..
First stepping outside of Windurst and being amazed at what a huge a detailed game this was at the time.
Leveling Paladin to 75.
Getting banned and literally doing it again.
Unlocking Sea before Sky.XD
Claiming Fafnir as a level 5 character.
Defeating DL the very first time
Fishing for hours on end
The good ole days of MPK trains
Going through CoP
Good times. That I never want to repeat again.
I remember when Argus dropped PCC... and how surprised i was that someone was willing to pay 12 mil for it when i got it.
I remember when this game didnt suck
I remember my first run to jeuno, so much death but oh the joy of finally making it
I remember dinging 30 as WAR30/MNK13 and rushing off to unlock lolDRG and dying
I remember Zayo
I remember the thrill of the hunt
I remember when no matter what you done with friends it was fun
I remember Arash running me to Altep to get the gate crystal
I remember him helping with the 3 genki NMs
I remember Cazos getting me and few others Sky access
I remember starting to do endgame
I remember that was the point when the fun stopped
End
I remember when beehive chips were 30k a stack, Traveler's Mantle was 500k+, and Spider Torque was 3 mil.
I also remember when I thought Detectors in sky wouldn't aggro because they're "Too weak to be worthwhile." >_>
I remember
- First time seeing the airship and someone riding a chocobo and being so awestruck
- Staying up till 5am because I thought I had to do the entire chocobo quest in one sitting
- Soloing Spiny Spipi as a level 9 BLM and thinking I was so pimp
- Spending 6 hours in an alliance trying to get Genkai 1 paper and winning the lot on the only one that dropped
- Doing Genkai 2 with a full alliance of all level 55's. We had to fight each NM like 4 times because people wouldn't get the key item in time.
- Spending an entire day farming Anima and doing all 3 Promy's with an old LS of mine. I was like 0/too many on them until going 1/1 on each with this group.
- Wandering aimlessly around Altep's trying to find the crag and Rabao with no maps or idea where I had to go. When I finally found the crag and made it to Rabao I couldn't afford the maps so I had to come back again later.
- Leveling BST back in the old days, it really did feel like an adventure back then. I used to find the most out of the way spots to level just because I could.
- When my entire friend list would be playing at the same time. By the time I quit I would be lucky to see more than 1 on any given moment.
- Solo kiting a DM mob on BST with ease when no one in the alliance thought it was possible.
- Getting a D Ignot from a KSNM and having a friend sign me a Hauby +1 when I got back to town. I also got a pair of Destroyers from it too.
- Bone parties in KRT, they were so much fun.
There's more just can't think of it now.
I remember having RMT sitting at the gate to SKY, spamming my LS questions about whats behind the door, and how to get there.
I remember when my 75 rng using only kabobs, cause sushi didn't exist
I remember an alliance for AF key hunting cause nobody was high enough to help, and everyone needed the same keys
I remember feeling proud of myself for soloing aquarius as Nin/whm and getting drop
I remember seeing fafnir standing all alone while my party was xping on spiders
I remember when the RMT on Hades would own stuff. They would outclaim most if not all shells and they were very dominant in sea. I remember asking about a Hope Torque and they told me the lowest they would go is 20mil.
I remember leveling THF to 18 with no sub.
I remember thinking that Tremor Ram was just a sheep in the distance, autoran while checking my map, and wondering for about 10-15 seconds why there was an earthquake going on.
I remember Jueno for the first time.
I remember someone beating the crap out of dinosaurs in Sauromuge Champaign with rampage.
I remember leveling WAR to sub with THF and enjoying it immensely over THF itself.
I remember using a boomerang on my 43WAR and just oneshotting every damn bee in Giddeus while chatting on LS.
I remember storing the honey on a cooking mule while I did this. I think I still have 5 stacks of the shit.
I remember BST being the most fun thing in the world (still is).
I remember looking at cool stuff like Byakko's Haidate, Adaman Hauberk, and Monster Gloves (lol) and disregarding them because I knew I'd never get those pieces of gear.
I remember endgame actually regulating how much I play instead of just wanting to farm/exp 24/7.
I remember getting PLD75 to justify getting all of the Iron Ram Hauberk gearset (true story)
I remember deleveling at all (actually rarely happened since I was skittish as all hell while soloing on BST and I leveled it after the pet EXP bonus was eliminated. Last time I deleveled was on PLD67 on imps)
I remember wanting to level BRD to land elegy on gods and NMs where most of the BRDs in my LS didn't even try using it.
I remember pulling on Bard (main reason I enjoyed leveling it to 75)
I remember when someone else hit 99+6 CC back in the day (there were very few of us) and I undercut prism capes from 6m > 2m to stop him mass synthing them. That was fun.![]()
I remember thinking the elemental resist stats was actually something that benefited my spells of that element.
I remember crafting and selling hktk clusters for 1.5mil each in inflation..
I remember when saying "Argus, found it!" while standing in Port Bastok used to fool people.
I remember when training all the Mandies, Crawlers, Bees, and Yagudo in West Saruta and AoE WS'ing them all was considered "farming".
I remember wanting to play this game as a white mage after listening to this Bjork remix and watching a video of people fighting a Marlboro in Rolanberry, and thinking I could just rain down curaga and nobody would ever dieI had been reading some whm guide on allakhazam titled something like "White Mage: Butterflies of the Battlefield" and thinking that was pretty cool :3
