Played a hume dark knight in the Pandemonium server - stopped for awhile (actually since Dec'04 lol) coz moved into a new house w/ no telephone line.

My thoughts on FFXI: it's a great game, if u have the time to invest into it. Used to spend 6-8hrs a day minimum, and to be honest, took away a big chunk of my social life lol. I think one of the earliest LYN member to play this game was Winternights (a lvl75 ninja btw) - already quit the game for WoW. Looking for party invites used to be a pain in a$$, especially when you're new to the game... cant really blame em cause some players that i've invited were really bad, didnt even know their job well... imagine inviting a THF to ur party who doesnt know how SATA works (Sneak attack+ trick attack) etc. Later i was lucky to have found a few players to stick to, and we formed a static, from LVL 65 all the way to 75. Some of em i still keep in touch, two were from China, one from Indonesia and another (WHM) is from Germany. From time to time, we'd go to SKY and level abit, or camp some NM (amemet... used to be good money till the gilsellers came)... havent got the chance to fight the bigger HNM but it was fun nonetheless... and my most memorable fights were against Serket, Roc, Tyrannic Tunnok and of course, Za 'Dha Adamantking in Qulun Dome.

Enjoyed every moment... but prepared to sacrifice lotsa time, into lvling up, making urself a better player, understanding ur job, farm farm farm for that expensive gear (how much are sniper rings, scorpion harness nowadays i wonder ), NM camping etc.

Btw, my main job was Dark Knight (DRK) 75, with a few other subjobs at lv37 at least (Warrior, Thief, Ninja). A lil advice to those who wanna go DRK fulltime, dont forget about lvling ur Great Sword skill, although a DRK weilding a big-a$$ scythe looks cool... later in the game when ur lv60+, ppl will be looking for a DRK that can do Spinning Slash, which can deal 1000+ dmg (highest for me was 1400+) with sneak attack-trick attack. Combine with a ninja blink tank and a ranger plus black mage.... you could do some huge damage performing the LVL3 light skillchain (cool effect!) w/ MB, with little downtime (with the aid of RDM or Bard... my favourite) to keep those experience chains comin'.
