Now you got me started! I sure miss those days and I feel the same way about Windy - where it all began for me.
There's a certain nostalgia, at least for me in just listening to the Windy music and remembering those good ol days when one of the BIGGEST aha moments was not only realizing where and what the AH was for; but figuring out WHY i shouldn't drop all those crystals and bee chips.
Running through Bub peninsula trying to get to Mhaura for boat ride always made my knees knock .. laugh if you will, it's true. First time my friend delivered me on the boat over to Selbina I was petrified when he left me. I heard that crazy music and saw all these people standing around - I got back on the ship and left.....never went back til I was like level 15 still killing rabbits in Tahrongi Canyon and a random white mage came by and said "Girl you need to get out of this Canyon and go to the Dunes!" haha.
There was just a great excitement about those days - looking at the huge expansive areas on the map; all the unknown places still to explore; nobody (really) knew more than anyone else back then, even though there were those who tried to pretend they did ......
TearsOfScarlet was my first ever social ls - I miss those days; ParanoidSocialClub - started by my still very good friend to this day, Ezekeil. I still have that pearl and you know what? Sometimes I equip it and run around. It's a pearl that I will always keep.....
Call me silly; I'm such a sentimentalist and probably too much of a romantic for my own good, but I'll never forget Windy, where my roots are; all the friends I made; even though it's a virtual game in the Land of Van a Diel.
I still take time to stop in Windy; run out to E. Sartubartu and just do a simple search for some ? players - throw them some cures (and sometimes a few gil); pro & shell - cheer them on; run them through the canyon if they need it.
Makes me feel good.... *wink*
