OMG@ ToAU.

Some developer must of thought:
"How can I make this game as annoying and difficult as the beginning of FFXI.
Let's start with:
1. Mobs that reflect all magic.
2) Mobs that aggro job abilities.
3) Mobs that are invisible UNTIL they aggro.
Yah, that's a good start. What else can we do?"

Another developer:
"Hey, my kid likes Pokemon..."

/facepalm

I remember this.
Everyone would wait while the BLM researched skill chains for MB.
Back then, it was considered "elite" to be able to SC and MB in party.

Nowadays, everyone is just like, "Zerg, gogogogogogogo!!1111!!11oneone"
/sigh
My poor BLM. :-(

I remember when I was on the boat as a lv 30 war otw to windy and I seen a Sea Horror.. I figured I could take it out ... lol got pwned along with everyone else on the boat..

I also Remember when Killing maat for the first time was huge and people shouted about it... back then no one got the"Noob!!" Flame shouts like they do now..

My first time in the dunes was crazy. Getting raped over here, getting raped over there, aggroing God knows what over that way. The random shouting of "Help me, I'm being chased by <mob>!!!"

I remember walking from Bastok to Sandy and from Sandy to Jeuno. I avoided every damn mob like the plague, even the cute looking sappling mobs.

It didnt help that it was foggy and every sound freaked me out.

The gates of Jeuno was like "YES I AM HERE".

Man... I miss those good old days.

P.S. Yeah.. I miss those SC MB onry PT !

P.S. Add : And those days when AOE was general AOE and Serket poison killing everyone in the basement. Or other PT camping near/ on top of your own PT killing your PT with their AOE.

These are so funny!

I remember being 5 minutes into the game and never having played this type of game before decided to venture out into the wilds of east ronafure.... lol what a cute little bunny with bug eyes...... I whip out my little umm onion sword and BAP! he kicks my butt... lol and those mean worms....

Seeing people ride by on chocos.. I would be so jealous.

One day I decided as a level 10 WAR to see how far I could run and get before getting agro. I ran from east ron all the way to the outpost in jugner. Hmm these didn't look too bad i thought as I decided to take out a mushroom and a tiger thought i looked pretty tasty... ended my short little jaunt into the wilds.

Or the ship in selbina... someone told me if i went up on deck as soon as i saw pirates to run below cuz they would kill me.... no problem... i will just stand here and open and close the door to look out.

The first time i logged in and was running around Sandy during the Christmas event and my daughter and I were trying to find out how to get a dream hat. Not having a linkshell we just did general says asking. I go up to someone and do a /tell and get no response. Thats ok I don't need to talk to anyone they will see what a dummy i am. I run off just as he answers me... omg omg omg.....he is talking to me!!!!! I was so nervous, but he was really nice and gave me a pearl and found a couple people to come show me around, did my first quest that day too.

My linkshell actually felt sorry for me. They said they knew if the words "Jade did you know......" then the answer was no she doesn't know lets go show her was easier then trying to explain some things.

Thanks for the trip down memory lane

I've resisted posting this long but I couldn't help it with the /backflash's!

I remember a train arriving at the zone in the dunes where I was so I zoned also.....only to find a train on the otherside too :D

The first time in a party tanking on war in the dunes <3 Nothing like working as a group of randoms coming together to defeat evil monsters!

hahaha yea....now it's like this:

1. No lvl in party is equivalent to my lv2 bst solo'ing Kirin

2. 1 lvl in party is equivalent to my mages not dying in limbus

3. 2 lvls in party is equivalent to finally getting my SAM to 75, a relief xD

How you know if you are "Old-School"

- A stack of silkthread was 150k.
- All who started in windy was richer then all else, reason see above.
- You thought this lvl 60 person was immortal only cause he used a SH.
- AF was the best gear in game.
- You run to camp in GC and suddenly find yourself dead cause a bomb exploded next to you.
- Lower Jeuno was the laggiest zone in game.
- LoO was camped just as much as Ground Kings.
- Noone had Sky, if you did this was the coolest thing alive.
- People exped at Moon.
- A tele was free. O.O!!!!
- People with 2 jobs at 75 where gods.
- Goblins where your worst enemy.
- People knew what a skillchain was.
- People knew what a MB was.
- A BLM knew how to do this before Endgame.
- A exp party doing 4k/h was impossible to gauge.
- Chain #5 was OMFGBBQSAUCE.
- Chain #7 was thought to be the highest chain obtainable.
- A average player had 50 mil gil.
- A Kraken Club was 130 mil+ and sold like candy.
- You brought a entire alliance just to do G2.
- G1 was the most challenging thing in game.
- Sea was a myth.
- No RMT Issues.
- You walked everywhere.
- You had a RR up always cause there where never any raise around.
- Distortion was the Main SC that all party was supposed to have.
- Parties had a "4 level gap"
- Shadow Lord was one of the hardest bosses in game.
- Avista solos Genbu; Epic cross server moment.
- You could find usefull stuff in bazaars around Jeuno, not only currency.
- Xarcabard was the farthest away from home you could get. And it still is cold there.
- /sh warnings of incoming zone trains was seen daily.
- /sh's about who the idiot was that didnt do the above pre zoning.
- Autorefresh is what made Summoner Unique.
- Fenrir was a status symbol even used in /seacoms for exp.
- SMN got invited to exp cause they had Avatar's not /whm.
- People exped in godforsaken areas like Bibikibay, Cape Terrigan, Labyrinth of Onzozo, Valley of Sorrows.
