I've got three noob memories, and I <3 them!

I started playing the game right at the time the CoP expansion came out. My first memory was while I was running around in Windy as a level 4 or so Thief. I didn't know what in the heck I was doing, and I was mostly getting caught up in corners, or in buildings, or wherever. This guy by the bonecrafters shop stops me, and we have about an hour conversation about our real lives, who we were, how we started, etc. He gives me 50k, and until he stopped playing the game, helped each other out when we needed it. Then, later that day, I was in Saruta leveling, when this giant Galka Paladin came and cast Protect on me. He pl'd me (which I didn't realize what that even meant) until his friends got on, and then gave me 25k. People were so damn generous back then.

My second memory is of my husband and I. With our handy Brady guide (that had so many errors!) in tow, he was a MNK12, I was THF12, no subs. We wanted to get our subjob items, but since we had no ls, we had no idea how in the heck to get them. So we looked it up, and found out that they dropped from crabs. Well we looked at the closest crabs near us, and they were in Burburimu. We were like, with the two of us, OF COURSE we can handle them! So we made it out to the water with no aggro. Started attacking a crab and just got completely annilhated. We didn't even understand parties or anything back then.

Oh! And the time we paid money for a Tele-Dem from Windy Woods, without knowing you needed to have the crystal before you could get teleported. LOL!

Fun times...*sigh*
