I remember~

[Abandon]

I remember after the TP nerf, trying to continue leveling, but invites weren't happening... and resorting to this:

And since the no parties thing wasn't happening, dinging 75 in sky duoing with a BST with a primate staff /sigh

[FallingHigher]

-I remember rocking a great sword on my noob WAR in the dunes, Qufim and the jungles.
-I remember The GreenLineage.
-In conjunction with the above sentence, I also remember camping Ulli pre-patch.
-I remember reporting a dozen or so RMT because they kept POSing to spam the 'Test My Mettle' quest to amass gil and it was stopping me from getting Power Sandals for my fire build!
-I remember Vart owning everyone camping VE.
-I remember the horrible exp parties as PLD on Toramas pre-ToAU; if you didn't have a decent WHM, you were fucked.
-I remember being a Ballista junkie with the old regulars Cloudxx, Mercy, Ryark, Excalibur, Cres, Beni, Lavir, Lilantoine, etc.
-I remember when using a shield used to block all the damage, instead of just reducing it.
-I remember never bothering with Mamool or Troll besieged, and only attending Undead Swarm because it was fun to kill charmed players (internet_tough_guy.jpg).
-I remember doing Nyzul Isle weekly with bros.
-I remember selling my account.

Didn't you steal a Kriegsbiel or something when Remora opened? Man, I don't remember that particular drama.

I remember when kiting Genbu was the accepted practice.

I remember getting a shining cloth and having a critical break when I was trying to get a nobles made -- way before they were on every WHM.

I remember a bunch of early Unicorn drama. Checkmate and Caj. HyNaMis and Nestae. Eventually Fortune and Wabo forming.

Actually seeing an astral staff drop from the Yagudo boss.

Camping Amemet long before most people did it. Constantly gaining weapon skills. Learned a lot about proper mp management from those fights since most were duos with a ninja.

I remember an early Fafnir where we wiped with less than 1% and a random guy used Eagle Eye Shot and got the kill. If I remember this part correctly, he gave us a piece or two of why dropped.

[Natsuchii]

I remember giving away my accounts and all my gil

[Corrderio]

I remember when COR was revealed as an AU job and I thought it was going to suck due to limited rolls and ranged weapons not being wanted due to the ranged adjustment.

[Neoscrilla]

I remember camping Despot in the Gauntlet in Sky with a hundred other people huddled around the pods waiting on the next spawn.

I remember DDoS attacks that made logging on impossible some nights.

I remember 12 hour long PS2 updates.

[NotGreyheim]

I remember when you had to talk to an NPC if you wanted to use your Mog House in a different nation

[[Vax]]

I remember being level 11 and not having enough money for all the maps, but running my ass from bastok to windurst for adventures sake. What a journey

[Genosync]

Didn't you steal a Kriegsbiel or something when Remora opened? Man, I don't remember that particular drama.

A more recent remembrance:

I remember Knights stealing Ullikumimi and it getting its own special thread.

yeah, and my name was actually asmodan

or something

what was that faggot's name again?

fuck, I remember when farming silk threads was good money.

sadly it probably still is

1k per drop? I mean, that's probably more productive if I can kill one crawler every minute instead of spending 480 minutes killing aura statues in a group for a stone.

nothing beats selling haidates though

here's a secret for anyone that actually bothers to read this post (and it's not really a secret, it's just intelligence):

3 people with 2boxes, all with BLM+RDM leveled, or something, +1 THF with TH3/4
farm ulli stones, that's the bitch part
pull full walls at a time for despot

get pops, go to byakko
kill byakko in ~50minutes with RDM/NIN x3, BRD/BLM x2 (Elemental Seal+Troubador+Elegy), and a THF (add in a SMN for extra dmg if you want)
get some sucker to buy haidate for 5-8mil
pay the two bards maybe 100-200k a piece, 100k was our normal rate
???
massive fucking profit

man I remember doing that shit all day long.

[Corrderio]

I remember people going nuts when Raxa dropped EXPing off Golems in sky and the lot war that followed since Raxa was worth something back then.

[Argettio]

I remember when you had to talk to an NPC if you wanted to use your Mog House in a different nation

I remember the tears of joy when they patch this.
