Post subject:  Are you Old School?
Theres so few First Gen FFXI NA players left. I go through my old shots and I look at how different this game was it makes me kind of depressed. I see how new players get everything so easily. None of them understand the pain of LB1 or the long and scary run to Jeuno for the first time.

So are you old school?

check out my new Gallery section with just a few old school screen shots and see if you reckognize any names. See if you can find your own.

nice screenshots yarr... I see some funny names around there... I really wish I hadn't had to stop playing for 3-4 months after first NA release... I wonder how things would've been different if I had stuck with my elvaan monk instead of changing to mithra whm

yeah alot of old names in there. Alukor, Wang, Dibbs, Omegadata, Nekota and people like that are all people who I spent the first few months with.

all my old screen shots have talisin in them because for the first 40 levels talisin and i were ALWAYS in the same pt.

Lol. Well I own you all.

After my pre release ambition of Thf/Sam I thought I "knew the ropes" after about a week. I was like a 10 blm an I was dead set on going Smn/Blm to 75. Well I guess it was probably still 70 back then I think=/ Right?

i remember when i first started posting here.. back when i wasnt hated nor targeted as a spammer.. yarr used to

/think
/poke
&
/wave
to me.. i felt special, and then after a month or so he started /slaping me and now he jes ignores me in general. instead of my fame and reputation going up, it started going down when i started posting here. hahaha

the first time i actualy posted conseculativeley (sp major) was when yarr deleted somthing and he had to re-make the boards, for like a week untill his plp could back up the files or somthing.. haha me and doodee went on a huge spamming streak to see who could start the most topics and who could hit 100 post the quickest.. then a few days later my account was deleted...

He was running by me, I told him to stop and just gave it to him lol......he was lvl 6 I think and I gave him all leather set. yeah, i remember most of those people. Atla was the first JP to help me. he helped me with fetich mission lol

Im really not joking when I say MM is the oldest newbie on the server. Hes about as old school as it gets and hes still not 75 lol, atleast you have a good reason.

Then again talisin took forever to get one job to 75. He hit like 75 months after my whm, but now he has 3 75 jobs and i have 1.

lol, I remember the perms being like this:

Peejo, Kailyn, Itto, Evil, Werx, Me
then
Murph, Gyoryu, QBomb, Althena, Gilzz, Obelisk
followed by
Yarr, Mikey/Nippler, Whisp, Shiloh, TS, Scyth

Gilzz's perm broke like 65ish, and ours broke informally at 70ish. Peejo, Kai, Itto and I stayed together for most of it though. I remember Itto often super jumping to keep me on my toes when I SA/TA + WS. I died alot.

Murph's perma lasted longer than Whisps because they had a better setup. the two of our perma groups did everything together. Then we had a big falling out over a WHM AF3 raid. Murphs WHM wasnt ready when we were and it was really frustrating and Prio helped turn the thing into a big drama fest.

for the most part Murphs Perma and mine (whisps really) were within a few levels of each other.
