So this is something I have been wondering about for quite some time now. Whenever I need to know how many moat carp for Lu Shang, whenever I needed help with subjob, whenever I needed help with a quest, etc... there was always a more experienced player to assist me with such matters. Now I am a bit experienced and help beginners. But I have always wondered...
What was this game like for the VERY FIRST people to have EVER played FFXI? Who was the first to discover it takes 10,000 moat carp for Lu Shang (cuz you know SE didn't post the first walkthough)? Who was the first to discover Jeuno as a city or get a subjob? Was it big news back then? What was the economy like with but a few thousand gil in circulation (cuz selling to npcs and mob gil drops are the only sources of new gil in circulation).
Has anyone here been around waaaaaay back in the very beginning? If so, I will refer to you as "An Ancient One" for simplicity. If you are, or know someone who is an Ancient One, please have him/her tell their stories of what the game was like way back then. I am very interested.
