How Many Old Schooler's Are Left?
How many old schooler's are left?
Thought I would ask how many people are still playing FFXI that start on or near the launch date?

NA PC Day Two'er. I jumped to Asura though if you might be wondering.
I started about two months after NA launch. The only "break" I've ever taken was during the tsunami aftermath.
...kinda terrible, really.

My first character. Gave it to a friend who continued playing it afterwards.
Started on PS2 release. Have had the same char since then, though I took a break in 2007 to 2010 or so.
PS2 NA beta, though I have very little playtime these days (and I'm way behind on current gear).
It's awesome to see so many replies this fast. Not many true old school players left though. Just a bunch of abybabies.

Brigadine+1 nice! It's always refreshing to see old-school gear again. I spotted someone in Jeuno wearing Optical Hat the other night.
Both my cousin and I started around that same time. He had the PS2 package, while i went PC. I still play and he doesn't. Good times fellas.

Started in June 2004 where it took me 6 months to get my first job (RDM) to 75. It also took me two weeks prior to beat Maat. I swear I was about to quit if I didn't beat Maat then. Lol. Took a few breaks here and there. One for 3 months, another last year for 7 months. Always said I wouldn't come back but here I am...
Me and my cousin have been playing since 04. My brother used to play but is traitorous and now plays 14.

Started on PS2 release date. I actually had no interest in playing at all but my dad saw the commercial for it and was like "Oh, you like to play final fantasy games so we'll get you that one"...despite saying I didn't want to play, and then feeling horrible at having him spend his money on the PS2 hard drive for it.
Addiction ensued.

Who remembers those times when you finally found that treasure coffer only to have a thief zip by you using flee and open it with thief tools.
>:(
I don't really qualify as a proper old-schooler I guess, played for a few months in 2004 (before the game was released in the EU), then quit for a while and started back up in June 2006. Certainly not an aby-baby at least! :P

I hated the idea of an online FF. I was pretty antisocial and the thought of playing with others irked me. So it took me up until Feb. 2005 to actually try it... and here I am 9 years later.

I started playing (attempted to anyway) on the PC but my computer couldn't handle it so I eventually bought the PS2 version from Circuit City I think when it went on sale, and subsequently shortly after picked up the COP expansion.
I didn't start picking up decently until the fall of '06, and got my first 75 sometime within a few months after that.
I still recall my binger of 2 days where I played for all but 9 hours.
