Instead of making different topics of job, race, and so on I figured I'd just post something to put down a thread for all of the above.
Name
Grayfox
Mule(second character)
Solidsnake
Join Date
I got the game upon release.
Retire Date
I officially retired in June of 2005. But I pretty much stopped playing my average time by December of 2004.
Jobs
In the few years I played I got
Drg75 - Rng75 - War75 - Nin75 - BLM/WHM/RDM/SAM/THF 50
Race
Elvaan with shaggy black hair
Sever
Phoenix (Original Fury LS)
Favorite Fight / Mob
Vrtra because of all the extra skeletons.
Fafnir / Nidhogg Of course you know Nidhogg is the HQ of Faffy...but I find Fafnir to be much harder because he starts to rage / wingspam a lot sooner then Nid. Nidhogg just has more hp. I really like em cause my ls was the first to take em down. Four linkshell's fought and lost in a row while we were doing a God run. We showed up, let him heal all the way back and took him with ease...great memory. Got some great items as well.
Favorite Pass time
Farming...people used to think I leveled all the time cause I basically got all those jobs leveled in a year and a half (before they lowered the exp needed to level) but in actuality I spent nearly 80% of my playtime farming. I find much fun in repetitive task.
Best/favorite moment
I could name things such as first to do this or first to get that...but in the end it is always the little things that remain memorable to me. Its hard to pinpoint one moment though
I was always a helper, I'd spend every day helping somebody do something. One day somebody asked me to help them with their SMN af quest so I jumped on board and went along with em. I went down to Kuftal Tunnel with the SMN who was around level 52 or something. It was just the two of us and as we were passing through the NM wyvern Guivre aggroed the SMN. It's a useless NM but in no means easy. I was on my Rng at the moment (by no means a great tank lol) but for some reason I shot it the second it hit the Smn. I then continued to start fighting it meantime aggroed by a clipper as well. But I stayed and along with a few cures by the then crying Smn I somehow managed to solo it. It was so great to be able to do that because when I was first starting out I watched my hero JP nin player try to solo him and got his ass kicked.
Another moment was simply that I soloed the last AF part for RDM in Garlaige Citadel as a level 63 DRG. Thats before they nerfed Drg though and it was a badass job.
And last memory is fighting Kirin. Back in the day Kirin used to take 2+ hours to kill at times. I was on Rng and I would get hate quite frequently, so I'd Disconnect myself on purpose to lose hate from time to time. At one point I disconnected and came back on to find EVERYBODY in my LS laying dead...surely everybody by now has tasted Kirin's AOE 2 hour...and its never great. This had killed everybody and I was left standing there looking right in his face. So I had to kite him for what seemed like half an hour while people home pointed and came back to sky. Was so fun to be running from that beast lol. Wish I had pics, he used to look different. All the Gods used to have a different skin when sky first came out.
