Pictures I found:Follow

Hopefully these post...I've never done it on this forum, though I've seen others. Just copy and paste to see them. If you know a better way to do it, let me know and I'll fix it. Speak up if you recognize any of these people:

Yep, Myself, Kranx, Xaeon, Rushwood (and Xzeno not pictured) all had our very first Dunes party together... They all went on to become great players and I've yet to reach 75.

Here's Xz saving my *** in G OP:

A few of us from SecVic (Secta Victoriae). The Linkshell was pretty well known back then. For a social shell that is. This is long before everyone started leaving to join end-game shells:

I freaked out my first time in Rabao because I had never seen a twister in-game before:

Garek, the leader of SecVic helping me do a Pally AF quest. We met under completely random circumstances and it's because of him that I am the type of player I am today (even though I have temporarily put Pally up on the shelf):

An old friend of mine, Anikin, who no longer plays. His first time in La Theine...he stumbled upon the ram and went running for the zone (just behind me):

Now the oldies will immensely enjoy this picture. Most everyone knows Arelios. However, even fewer people know Taikobo. But those who do know (of) him, know the legend that he is, even today, half a decade after he quit. He is THE ORIGINAL bazaar mule. Stuff would magically appear in his bazaar and you would never know who his main was that sent it to him. He NEVER moved. That was HIS spot, HIS pose and his GODDAMNED PUMPKIN HAT MOTHER@#%^ER!:

Oldschoolers gangraping a lizzie with greatswords galore~!:

Presenting Garek, our LS leader with a gift. See if you can recognize some oldschool faces that joined major Linkshells later in their careers:

Yup, he fooled me too. And I'm not afraid to post this picture because of the smiles it will bring to your faces:

When I started, I played on PS2. One day I sent them all to myself. Lost most of them, but these special ones I uploaded to photobucket a long time ago. Then I played on PC but that PC broke so I no longer have those. Now I am starting again on a new PC. There are many people and events I do not remember and many people and events I wish I had pictures of, but you can see from these pictures how old some of these players are. You are right, there is a great nostalgia in remembering the old days.

Well that's Zariko for you. Always ******* up the timing. Wow that's funny. And wow, Mazrim is there...geez. Poundkake too!

You know Poundkake started playing again right Gam?

No I did not know that Seefinn! I actually never conversed with Poundkake however he was one of those players whose name I had heard time and again.

Netruz, you a poet and you didn't even know it!

Omg, I just looked at the picture again and I didn't even see Buddah there the first time, that little midget *******.

lol, shit on.

This just got a lot more fun than I expected it to be :x

I see him around every once in awhile, but not too often Gam.

To This day, 4 years after i had quit (even before i returned last month) This has been my desktop background.

HotukenKnights, the shell i was in when it was a social, then stayed and took leadership after Kulganflame quit after having established it as an endgame shell..

My home, even through all the shells i've been in after.

This means alot to me, even for a game and a picture of it.

This is apollo's farewell party.
Spot the Naeo :P he stands out!

I'll always miss HK, and the family we were.

I've tagged him too, once or twice.

http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b389/wandringshadow/FFXI/FishingZariko.jpg

It spawned an amusing conversation, among other things, since he was responsible for my devotion to Dragoon.

Kestra: I don't know if I have the patience for fishing.
Zariko: Try leveling dragoon. You'll learn patience.



I actually have almost every screenshot I ever took still saved. Maybe I'll dust them off.
