[DD10] What's your fondest memory in Dimensional Death?

[Silk]

fonsedt momery tighm be wenh Aya siad "forums on something write memory of fondest" to teh Lysdexic me 

(i kid but have been known to speak like the quoted section, ask Ltheb)

My fondest memory would be from our first use your words game.  It was fun to watch and once i was in it and slightly drunk i figured out the formula to winning the game, all the trophies, and having a great time with everyone at all our expenses....... and saying lots of over 18 stuff i would never say in public, thanks alcohol.

I've resurrected from the grave to recount my fondest memories of coming home from school and loggin on into sky waiting for my turn to chi blast Kirin, while everyone else in the alliance did the actual work to take down the NM
Or making the whole LS farm a 24hour NM in attowha canyon for some gloves that weren't even that great 
Or how everyone was always there to help me progress through those weirdly difficult storyline missions 
Or using the TTS function very obnoxiously because I didn't have a mic

Those 24 man blind runs yo.

Putting my fondest memories into words is kinda hard, since there's so many. It's more like a collection of anecdotes, little stories, events, so many things that happened that makes a whole memory.

From the moment we moved from other Linkshells into Dimensional Deaths, the times we invaded Sky, how we learned it like the back of our hand, the times we failed or had to give up for any reason (like Lightday followed by double Light weather... on Byakko). Breaking the Shadowbind, nuking Shiva with Freeze II, Limbus runs...

There's the memes, the PowerThirst, the videos we made, the meetings at FanFest. No matter what we do, winning or losing, it's a memory and a learning experience.

Then DD moved on to other games gradually, until FFXIV appeared, and then we do it all over again. It doesn't really have the same kind of multi-alliance events that FFXI did, but more important is that the people involved are the glue that keeps things together. 10 years later, we're still a community, more than simply a Linkshell, a guild or a Free Company. It could go by any name, it's still us.

Clearing out the Binding Coil of Bahamut was pretty great.  Although I think the best things are the simple things, Ramuh and Shiva were particularly good for endless punning fun.  Shockingly, I believe we got well over an hour, maybe even two, worth of electricity related puns one night on Ramuh...I do feel somewhat sorry for Aya's desk though.

How about the first event I went to at around 30ish level on rdm.  I cast paralyze on Hakutaku and it stuck.  Maybe even being level 15 and surprising Area when I told him i didn't know where valkrum dunes where.  Passing by a tiger's face in batallia past as a level 50 not agroing it and Nalian getting eaten by it shortly afterwards.  Me, Vea, and Attica trioing Cactrot Rapido.  There are many more.  Don't have just one fondest memory.

It's been hard to think of a good single best memory, but I've had a lot of fun with the raiding and clearing all of the  ex primals and raids thus far. Also, the glamour contest was a blast. We should do it again some time.

Hi, so i haven't been with you guys long but my fondest memory, is when i was doing castrum and was actually partied with you guys. U then said that there is a second part and that i was welcome to join. I was surprised and amazed at this and especially how you guys waited at the cut scenes for me. Which people usually skip, but you guys did not. You guys then were said you had a free company and i was welcome to join. I immediately left my other free company (that didn't do anything) and joined you guys, and man i have to say you guys are the most community and close guilds i have ever seen. i am an mmo vetren played mmos from wow and guild wars to bns and age of wulin, and i have never seen a guild as close as you guys, so congrats. So i guess thanks for inviting me and ur free company rules

Others have posted similar, but leveling up through ARR and doing the story dungeons with DD was a great experience. Getting to run it with friends on top of actually being able to enjoy the story without worrying about skipping cutscenes made the game a hell of a lot more enjoyable. This is just a great community that I feel very thankful to be a part of.

Memories are hard to make when you've only been in the guild for 3 days. Nevertheless, in just 3 days I've already found this group to be more welcoming, encouraging, and uplifting than any other guild I've ever been a part of, in any game I've ever played.  Whenever I call for help, someone is there to provide it. Whenever I say hi, someone is there to greet me. Whenever I'm a little stuck, someone offers to come help push me through.

In only 3 days, I have been utterly amazed at this community.  You've set my standards pretty high in this short amount of time.  I look forward to making new memories with you guys.

My fondest memories are all the event that you did that got me to join you guys cause I was bored to death waiting for Stormblood!!!

So I've been trying to think of a memory of being in the guild/linkshell/FC (whatever you want to consider it) and I thought maybe start off with a little backstory of how I came into the group. I've known Celedh for years (honestly I don't remember how many) I first met him when me and some former friends joined a linkshell in FFXI known as Dynamix. I remember running dynamis 2 nights a week religiously with this group. However over time, the shell was slowly going the way many linkshells do. It wasn't by drama or anything, people just ended up having real life commitments that came before the game. Cel can tell you though I was loyal until the end. Through Cel I met Aya and Slvr and we still kinda kept the spirit of dynamix alive and ran dyna every Friday night. I could be wrong but I believe I was invited to join DD but I had loyalty to another shell. But that's another story I'm getting long winded here.

So I eventually joined the FC on day one of 2.0 (I think my mind is foggy). But I played religiously until I got to a point I got burned out (it happens) and I took a break. Came back before Heavensward and was welcomed with open arms and no questions asked. Eventually I burned out again and took probably an even longer hiatus to where I recently came back a couple months ago. Now we get to the memory part. I remember I came back and I wouldn't admit it at the time but I was struggling to get gear and finish the story. I never asked for help cause it's just the way I am but I won't refuse it if offered. Cel got a group together (I forget who all was part of it but you all know who you are and thank you!) and we went and spammed regular Alex and got me geared to 250. Honestly, you ain't gonna find many communities out there that will do that for anyone especially someone who has taken two breaks and one really long break from the game! Maybe it's a little selfish coming up with this memory but it's the one that sticks out in my mind the most.

P.S. Will someone please post the Ifrit story cause I think it would come better from someone who was there besides me lol.

[Demarcus]

I know I'm late on this thread, and Aya knows I hate posting lol.. I will have to say my fondest moment was when someone broke shadowbind and all of us knew who broke it and wouldn't tell Aya about it, the rage was real LOL
