- 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 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.

This made me feel really old.

Can still rack up some pretty nice exp there, not the 20k+ ones but a good 8-10 :)

I did around x-mas with some friends just for kicks. Area is built for roaming, and fighting up and down stairs etc. Fun area.

I was leveling rng as my highest job at the time. RNGs got EVERYTHING at that level.

Moongate pass "Make sure the rng has it so he knows where/how to pull."

First sky LS, the leader made everyone pass on the coffer keys until I got both maps first.


Moon is in Ro Maeve ~
Moon Gate Pass just opens a door....

I was right!

Nah, Ro<tab key> map is just purchased, but moon is a sectioned off area in ro<tab key> that you need a special key item to get into. I think it opens on it's own at night during full moon or something, and you can then click on the ??? inside the door to get the key item... something like that anyway, just like the bridge opens up at full-moon and the fountain fills up, still not sure what happens if you're in the middle of the bridge when it goes down O_O

Can exit on the sides through one of them Holes in the walls.

Edit: Unless you mean you would be standing in the area where the pools are. That would be uncomfy.

I Remember doing that one. Funny thing is once you get the Crawlers nest map, you seem more lost looking at map because you figured your way around for so long without one.
LOL. The map is convenient to have

When being able to do a Lv1 to Lv2 SC was considered great PT setup.
(I did a 4 man SC once and everyone in the PT was OMG WOW GREAT SC, even though it didnt take much off the crab we were fighting)

When you invited a drg cause you couldn't find anyone else to start Distortion.

When serket killed every exp PT in the basement with Venom Storm.

When not knowing how to "first voke", "stand behind the mob for SATA", cant WS properly or MB was considered gimp.

When earning your first 1million was "OMG I'm RICH"

When I spent 3 months camping in Batalia Downs farming tiger for my first 3million to buy a D.Ingot to make a Haubby.

ADD::

When joining a PT and finding out there was no SC/MB and thinking "This PT sucks"

When mnk pulled with {Chi Blast}

When you made your Rdm /BLM cause of Chainspell Escape.

P.S. I have Moongate very early and putting {Moongate Pass} really got alot of invites.

There have been situations where my DRK has pulled. I do see how DRKs are not even considered to pull unless nobody has <ranged attack>
Coming from a different MMORPG game where the tank pulled and tanked to this game.
Partys have a puller and tank, Was odd to me at first.lol. Its cool how different games have different styles.
But as a DRK, if im told ahead of time, i have no problem pulling. I mean come on, how much of a wuss do you have to be.
/sam Third eye, ranged attack
/nin Utsusemi, ranged attack
/war stun, run back to party
DRK has safe methods to pull, some just have to get off there arse.
Davsa thats so funny about thie Bow is for show.
I had one that had dexterity adds so i carried it but didnt have any arrows..LOL
