Thought it was due to MNKs using base level 1 relic knuckles to spam the shit out of Asuran Fists.

[AidenCarby]

Can't forget when drg/sam used to poop on all the other dd's lol.

[Corrderio]

I wish I was able to witness Penta Spam back in the day.

[FailureMidgard]

Not to start a rant against SAM, but this never happened lol. If anything all 2handers took a little blow with patched str/dex formula after first 2hander buff.

You realize the FTP modifiers on Y/G/K at 200 TP got lowered also right? No? Well, I'd classify that as a nerf.

Only recorded video of this, if I'm not mistaken.

I was still on 18 BLM when Bloodberry's awesome Bloodtear Penta rape started spreading, I believe D:

[neue]

...leveling out in E/W Saruta in 2003, and throwing away all my Beastmen Seals like an idiot. I used to have the BGM for Saruta as my ringtone on my phone...I thought it was sweet and relaxing (it still makes me happy to hear).

I also remember when Tav Safehold was briefly a hangout spot for cool kids who got or were on their way to Sea.

I remember KSNM groups.

I remember "casino shouts" in Jeuno.

I remember when Rolanberry Fields was empty.

[Eloco]

Ohhhhhh after reading two posts above... one for the Leviathan people.

I remember when Ganon drove to see Raye (sp? Hume Female) and she slept with him for a Osode! Yeah thats right I went there.

lol

I remember thinking I would be rich in no time making 500g per Airship ride.

I remember killing DL for the first time with 25 people, no DRKs

I remember killing Vrtra with 25 people, straight tanking it.

I remember trying to see who could get hit for the best EES in Dynamis between our bored melee (I won, so far. 2246)

Oh man this one brings back memories.

I remember when I hit 30 WAR and had my friend help me get PLD. I sold all my gear and thought the money I got (I think somewhere between 20-40K) made me a rich motherf*cker.

[Darknightleo]

I remember when almost every zone you went to was this magical new place, where you coild just sit and chat with your friends for a while and would be perfectly happy.

[Juravial]

I remember making 200 characters in a night trying to get on Carbuncle because that's where my friend Oracant was and he assured me he wouldn't be able to save up the money for a world pass, and eventually running out of ideas and playing around with names, ending up with a frikkin taru girl named "Tatjiana" (from Arc the Lad) and not making another character because I thought I'd have to randomize it again 200 times.

I remember when we first started on carby and every once in a while in sandoria we'd see someone go by in full artifact gear, and we thought they were GMs that were patrolling to make sure nobody was cheating.

I remember when I skipped class in college as a level 37 bst/whm to go farm up my taru RSE because I thought "man, this kind of opportunity just doesn't come along every day, and I'm super pimp for soloing it."

I remember staying up all night farming rams in la theine because nobody was on at the time and it made me rich beyond my wildest dreams (Seriously, I made like 23k that night).

I remember saving up 100k from scrimping and saving for over 3 weeks to buy a pair of leaping boots, thinking that they would make my sam so pimp at level 10 it would be unbelievable. It took 3 dunes parties full of fail to realize otherwise... (hey, you can't blame me, I didn't know what any of the stats did, i just thought those boots would make me destroy things)

I remember being the 4th person on Bahamut to unlock Blue Mage. I remember being the highest level Blue Mage across all servers (afaik) for a few hours at 30 something. I remember falling asleep and waking up to find those damn JPs at 60+. (I pioneered BLU/NIN dawg)

I remember arriving in TOAU and thinking Marids might be the new Deco Weapons.
I remember when TOAU's only NM was basically Cerberus. I remember when Cerberus was said to be the Empress' pet on the SE TOAU website.
I remember me dinging into city RDM AF2 was scandalous.
I remember a lot of things, but none of them are very impressive.

[Corrderio]

I remember when ToAU still in development reading up on PUP and when they said customizable pet I was thinking I could select head, body, arms, etc. instead of all the attachments.
