Neat Thread, I was originally from this Server too ^^;
1: Who was first person you met ingame that you added to your friends list?
Thickheadedego, silly Galka WHM. Somehow I talked him out of being a Galka WHM when he took a liking to the job, based from my extensive forum trolling expeiriances.
Thus Smokey the ELV WHM was born.
2: How did you meet them?
I dont know exactly why or how, but i ended up in a low level party with him. We didnt know what on earth we where doing, ended up in Dangruf Wadi looking for harder stuff to kill cause XP was sucking with all uf killing Gustabgerg mobs. We ended up wiping to a Goblin Butcher in the Wadi. But we were both total newbs, and had a good time.
3: What made you add them to your friendslist?
First person I really talked with in game. We were both new, and traded tidbits of info we where learning on what to do and where to go.
4: Thinking back to your newb era were they helpful to you in teaching you much about the game?
Not the most influential person in terms of what i learned in actual game knowledge. But taught me the most important lesson in my FFXI career, making good friends.
5: What are your most fun memorys of this person?
He concentrated on getting to higher levels, and progessed much faster than I. We didnt get to do a ton of stuff, but the first 4 weeks in game with him where fun.
6: Have you stayed in comtact with them?
Unfortunatly no. He left FFXI quite some time ago, and have not talked with him since.
