The game's treated me fairly, all the way back since Beta.
Started off killing rabbits, admiring people (Jehryn, the lv30 RDM!)
Been through drama, fun, and much frustration.
A bit sad that I haven't attained all my goals, but I never really had any plans past lv70.
Thanks to everyone listed: (in no particular order)
------
Trebal; for inviting me into my first-ever LS, as a level 14 MNK in the Dunes. His exact words were 'you sound like you know what you're doing.'
Mihyih; for adopting me into Redguard, the linkshell where I spent most of my FFXI 'career', helping me with missions, AF, quests, etc. This guy, I trusted with anything, and it's sad to know that we drifted apart in the end.
Fatqb; For directing me towards Redguard, and helping me with various tasks, including (later), AF. For the great EXP parties at lv40ish.
Gadam: For helping with Promyvions and various other things, as well as being a helpful and supportive friend.
Fordster: Low-level EXP parties with Fatqb and Gadam, as well as help with things such as promies and CoP missions. Best of luck to all three of you guys, and I hope you make it far in the game. (You're light years of me already, anyway.) =)
Jehryn: Help with various things, including AF. Thanks a lot, and I apologise for being an ass at the Orc Hut that day.
Cronoh: For pointers on how to play PLD, as well as that Damselfly worm we got on our first kill for my subjob quest. =)
Made: For being my best friend on FFXI, and helping me out however you could (despite your being a lower level)
Ozzee: For making FFXI an overall enjoyable experience, despite my having met you towards the end of my time in FFXI.
Scion: For providing me my first (and last) Dynamis LS.
GA Members: Ssjsean, Kistos, Daimen, Guppie, Jormungandr, etc; for that day you guys helped me reach Rank 5, and for various other things. =)
Momoshiro: For being fun, helpful, friendly, etc.
Auvucent: For providing some pointless 'latent' rivalry, and later providing me with helpful information, and other general help.
Theifmas: You and your LS for being cool.
[GM]Senterpi: For being the best GM ever.
Everyone else: Sorry if I haven't mentioned you here, but I'm tired and am having trouble remembering your name off the top of my head. =(

I still remember spazzing out like a giddy schoolgirl when I first received my Beta kit in the mail, and the growing pains the ensued. It's sad to leave this game, and, at this point, I wish I'd recorded a journal of some sort, just to relive everything from day one, and see where all that wasted time has gone...
Anyway, best of luck to those still playing, and thank you [FFXIonline.com] community for being my primary source for everything FFXI-related since '02.
