I don't have any pictures because ffxi used to be on my old cpu and it got replaced a long time ago. But I thought i'd post a short story of my toons story
But my favorite memory of this game was probably when I started as a warrior mithra in sandy, when the game was simple, and I met some of my favorite people in the early levels.
My first ig friend was Jesiah, some taru, he hated grinding so he quit at lvl 18, but he was a very avid player even though he was new, keeping up with him was always like playing catch up.
The first person who mentored me, and taught me about the game was Wala, and Obelisk, Wala was already a high level ranger, so he had his share of the game, and like many players had quit after getting bored of the content.
I lvled my warrior with obelisks' ranger till 30 with the help of glennx, I was such a noob at the time I subbed /whm with my war.....they didn't judge me though, and in fact loved me for my noobness XD.
I had finallllyyyy unlocked my two favorite class that I would make my main, summoner and ranger.
Throughout lvling ninja, I met Silly, she became my best ig friend, we literally lvled from 43-75 together....her summoner and my ranger. We created a linkshell called farplane, and it went pretty far.
The adventures I've had in this game are very long but those are some of the memorable ones.
Now for memorable people!
Staccatto and his dragoon, no matter how much people kept telling him loldrg he'd continue to perfect it

and I always partied with him as my summoner when he lvled blu....was very fun.
Clemor and how much he helped me on his red mage when I didn't know anything about ranking
Misono and his drawings, and how he always played blm with /thf when camping a NM and how he would always include me in events that he was in
Zizzo/mystik and how close we had become as friends and being my lvling buddy for ranger!
Nori and his alchemy

always crafting and going on the strangest adventures with me, even though we both would keep getting killed endlessly
Shoruu and domosai and their love for ballista on their monk monk
Megamisama, being the other brave mithra who came to ballista as summoner and made a splash
Arduin and mamimi, how cute they were and how much they helped me understand ranger when I was lvling it
Kittyo, and how strong her ranger was, and the reason I chose to lvl it
Mierli and his bard, I knew it was a guy playing the toon, but his toon always wore a dress and seemed very metro
Donnalee, my favorite linkshell leader, and my very first HNM linkshell, cultivation
Romulous and faith, they invited me to their wedding.....such a strange ig ceremony but that opaline was sure pretty
Lowping, even though he hung out with my sister a lot, he was like my older brother
Inifekt, his nin was probably the best I've ever partied with
Gonix/kashu/savior and the fact they made ballista a challenge, and kept it alive by getting friends to come and participate
xkekiox and his drk/nin, scary....
Nightbear my CoP buddy
Reece and his loyalty to his friends
and last but not least, katalyst, my sister, and her obsession with perfecting every class she had at 75.
There are more people I've met and have left a memory for me but these are the ones I remember off the top of my head.
Looking back honestly, I loved my time in Asura, I did run into some very mouthy people towards the end of my adventures, but that's not what I choose to remember.
I remember the beginning, the excitement of all the content, and all the people who adventured with me and made time in this game enjoyable and the xp grinds less painful
