Can't wait to be back~!Follow

Can't wait to be back in Vana'diel!

MAAAAAAN I was THERE man! lol seriously though, I got the PS2 release of FFXI like the same month it came out, and on my parents dial-up I reveled in the mystery and grand-scale of everything, from La Theine plateau as a weeeeebly San'Dorian taru (***** those nation rings! my bros were in sandy lol), or as a quiet Galkan fisher/miner/itemwhoreforallmyothercharacters in Bastok, or that mysteriously androgynous 'Imadude'-named Mithra from Windhurst, lol, I was head of several linkshells and a passive member in several others, some lasting a long time and some blinking out like nothing ever happened.

I felt like I had a really great time, exploring all the different possibilities of FFXI~

But one thing I never did, was get into the upper levels. I got to the point where we were in the crawler's nest, and heck I think there was even a place in that mysterious forest that I won't dare to even pronounce from memory... if memory serves me you have to go there for the Samurai job quest. Beyond that... I do recall doing one Genkai mission but that was it =/ and heck, as far as actual storyline-missions went, I don't think I made it past rank 5. I paid 100k to this awesome DRG or Dark Knight to even be a mercenary for the mission, but we all wiped out in the battle with that basturd way up north, the one where you pretty much had to have a Paladin for (we did, but it went awry, anyways... still we had a helluva time sneaking around the mobs to get up to that fight lol).

I wonder if they ever fixed that PS2 glitch where you could run out in the sea, in Valkurm?

So! Anyways now I'm back~ I was in a couple different servers, but used the names Faraku, Arrona, Imadude, and Sakusa, Sakaia, Sakeya... and Fidora. I'm gonna see if I can punch in any of my old names and maybe some old bros will recognize me and shower me with gilzorz ^_~m

...Between this, online classes, and massive alcoholism, I'm thinking it'll be the best year I've had in a long time! I'll see you soon dudes!

Oh yeah I wanted to ask, anyone out there feel like their server is particularly... good for people just coming back, lvl 1, with no clue? I was in Quetzalcoatl, Siren and Sylph... I think I'll go back to Sylph if anything, it was a lot of fun there if I recall.

This could be a satire post, but if it is, it's still awesome, lol.

Anyway, any server should be fine, just make sure to start the trust quests as soon as you hit level 5, and do records of eminence. Also touch any home points you see and interact with books you see out and about as they can give you mini quests (complete with extra exp, buffs, and gil) and some can teleport you between outposts.

Also the fairies heal and raise folks out in the world, be nice to them.
