The Fiend of the West
You make me want to play 11 Jello.
It sounds fun.
I make myself want to play every time I talk about it... it really was a fantastic experience, but it just... It's the players. Everyone is at endgame now, there are no new players, so all the low level characters out there are just people on a low job who are power-leveling their way up.
The game came out in 2002 and I still wanted to play it over any other MMO out there as of 2009. That says something.
Are you kidding? I have entire spreadsheets devoted to breaking down stats for such a thing. I was elated when I saw that they put out a
tanking stance for white mages in that patch last year. My goal in the game was to try and function as an HNM tank playing whm/war or whm/pld (depending on ability to hold enmity).

I hated the idea of leeching off high-level players, so I would just do shouts in cities to get stuff done.
Yeah. If I needed something done I tried as best I could to do it myself or to do it with a small group of appropriate-level players. Like all the advanced job quests.
I'd read on the boards that the fight for the ninja job was a terrible thing and that those leeches ate people even if they were level 50 or 60. So I scouted out the area, looked into it a little, and then brought along a friend when I did it... myself a 40 white mage/black mage and the help a 30 red mage. Put a sleep on one leech, had the friend just keep casting sleep on one of the others until it stuck, and then I fought the remaining leech to death using stoneskin/regen and melee. The plan was to rest for MP and then wake the others up one by one and kill them but they ended up despawning and I still got the ???.
