I'm no stranger to lag and disconnects (I miss exping ._.). The only one that really stands out in my mind was when I was doing the golden salvage assault with two friends of mine.

I'd go on SMN, and they'd go on their level 70+ jobs and get free AP. In the middle of the true sight fish section, I disconnect and it takes me a while to get back on. When I got back online, I somehow wasn't dead and wasn't currently being eaten alive by a fish.

My friends found out that they can kill the mimics and had killed a few while I was out. I ran past them and found the real chest in one of the deepest spots of that assault. We had about a minute left... My RDM friend's crimson pants pulled through for us and we beat that assault with less than 30 seconds left.

We got our AP and learned from it, so it wasn't exactly "unfortunate". The only real unfortunate lag/disconnects I've had lately either involve not being able to exp or disconnecting during besieged.

Off-topic: I miss all the customizations that we had with the gil system. I stopped playing FFXI (and stopped going here) for a while, then came back and this whole website had changed and I'd usually get error messages when I'd try to do anything on here. It looks like I'm able to do things on here again. >_>a
