How Far FFXI has come....Follow
I honestly miss trains... places were less crowded when you knew more than3 PTs in garlaige meant trains abundant, so you tried to level elsewhere, now 6 PTs try to level there (mid 30s)
eh trains sucked. I remember in kazham having to play the Hide from the smithy game.
Twas not fun.
I do remeber the introduction of fenrir though. Man anyone who had him was awesome. I also remember when the mini fights were implimented for SMN.
The outrage the older SMNs had when they realized lowbie SMNs could get the avatars ...

I hate to say this..but I'm pretty sure this was posted over a year ago originally in the Ifrit Servers board..at least from my knowledge it looks almost exactly the same.. not even updated with Protectra V and Shellra V..etc..just my opinion...

Euhm Jez, Look at the OP's date. I think Ifrit Server has it from the OP. And that is why it isn't updated with Protect V etc...

Wow, very nice compliation. Obviously SE has made so many changes that it's hard to catch them all
This list just makes me think how unproductive SE is. The game is like 4 years old (or 5, i forget the exact number) and they have taken years to make basic changes to some classes that allow them to function in groups.
The fact that they took years in to implement a fix that allows summoners to do something more then once every minute that is truely what a summoner would do, instead of what a /whm or /blm would do is proof enough of this.
Revel in the list if you want. To me it shows a time frame of changes that point out SE's lack of fast adjustments.
*Revels in the list*
great thread, ive only been on the game a year and its very itresting to see what it was like b4 i was here.

Glad people are enjoying the read. ^^

Not sure if this was mentioned before, but...
If you entered your mog house while in a party, it would disband you from party.
They changed this sometime between US Beta and US Release.

very kool, iv never seen this befor.
that would have been so crazy. There were also a bunch of other problems
DRGs would lose there wyvern when they zoned. We still lose our wyvern when we get on a choco but now thats its a 20 min JA doesnt really matter. We have a new 2 hour and edited timers.. Some one should update this it would be sick to have one to refer to on a rainy day.

An error when the job was first released allowed DRGs to summon two wyverns.

Man, I feel like I've been playing this for 20 years after reading the OP.
I remember every single change in that post since the NA Beta.
But the thing I that struck me the hardest, was the reply later on about full alliances of 55 NA's doing G2.
That's something I think alot of people missed out on. There's really no way to convey the fun we had exploring FFXI and learning as we went. No quests online, no level 75's to hold our hand (and JP's wanted nothing to do with us, lol)nothing was easy, and no paths were laid out in detail before us.
Vanadiel was a strange, unexplored world. Cooperation was the way of things. Name calling, in-fighting, LS jumping, and the mindset of needing to have "elite" gear, didn't exsist.
We strived for things like chocobo licenses, kazaam keys, rank ups, and the "I'm all grown up now" airship pass! AF and Genkai's were fun events of mass confusion and "where the **** are we?" hysteria!
We fought our way through every quest, mission, and sightseeing trip that crossed our paths, and we had FUN doing it.
I wish every new player could experience this game as we did!

Holy crap.
I miss zoning into the Crawlers Nest to go to a PT and dying before the zone even loaded, from the mass of Crawlers that someone had zoned.
Hmm, the link to the original mithra sitting pose is gone.
I love how RDM went from being the most undesired and useless job to being THE most popular job for XP and also for HNM's etc. They are now the most fleixble and versatile job in the game, but they started as a chocolate teapot! Awesome :D
(Maybe BLU is slightly better but meh, LOLBLU!)
