What was the place to level before Kazham was implemented? And was the "road most taken" for levelling always the same, or did it change... and was it always there or did it develop months into the game?
Before Kazham, people would head to Bataliia Downs (cousin had the game). Then at ~28 or so they would head to Davoi or Beadeaux as I remember. However, that generally only held a few PT camps. Correct me if I'm wrong on that.
Since there were fewer places to level, I have watched my cousin go to 2-3 different places to level, depending on how many people were in each place. Of course, this was long ago. When RoZ originally came out, many people payed the 100k or w/e it is for a Kazham airship pass. That was back when Gigas mobs could drop 1k gil each and Orcs in Ghelsba even had up to 100 gil each without Gilfinder.

I'm also curious when in 2002 some of the original HNMs- Behemoth, Serket, Roc, Simurgh, etc were implemented.
Before they did a huge nerf to Serket near the middle of 2003, he was nearly unbeatable. He was like what most people consider the Dynamis Lord or Vrtra today. If you saw someone with the title "Serket Breaker", you would /bow for 24 hours a day. Serket was super hard until they implemented the Lv.60 or 65 cap. With that adding to the level cap, they also nerfed Serket down a bit.
However, Behemoth were harder then they are today for a Lv.60 allience, but they were nerfed too. Dunno about Simurgh or Roc.
And yes, Dark Knights were always considered badass. ^^
