Memory lane (56K warning!)

So while bored to death at work atm I was looking at some old pics and :)

I was duel boxing a Warrior and Sham. Here's my first setup

Then after a while I thought, I;d like to 5 box but I don't know how. Perhaps I can get a hold of that "Xzin" guy and that day I did! I found this forum and there was only around 35 users here. After a lot of help from Xzin my setup started getting there, as funds would allow. This one was taken while in the process of setting it up.

Till finally Nerd rage!

Which turned in to

And for the most epic this oldest pic. My first MMO! For those that know what game this is, boxing today would be really doable but lets pretend we are still limited to single boxing. Could you ever go back with a grind like that? I ended up leaving after reaching the mid 50's, I was Looking for Group for over three and a half months. JP would tell me {English} = {No Thanks}. The rest were AFK in Juno. Thank god for Wow, if I stayed I may of hit 59 by now lol.

Parked them. With a gear reset inbound (Xpac) I decided I'd have more to gain by leveling alts (Shamans!). Now that I've hit 30 with my alts I'm pretty amazed how much better this combo is so far. Might become my new mains! should be coming out with 1 maybe 2 if i finish it vids of the new guys.

how much I wish I could make another PVP vid, but world PVP is pretty dead atm so no content to collect except rolling someone 5 vs 1, that doesn't really make for a interesting movie however. I hope once I hit SM with the alts I might run in to some groups. That would be fun!

Glad you liked the videos and thanks :)

I'm still curious as to what MMO the last (2) pics are for? You sounded like you wanted to let it be known, then derailed into the LFG Hell thought :)

FFXI on-line

To give you an idea about the level grind, level 70 in wow is about level 35 in FFXI, and it goes up to 75 last time I played hehe.

lol I have no idea, I still have the thing it was my wifes old machine. I built a new gamer rig then gave her my P4. then I started boxing and I used her old one there pictured. Both those machiens were replaced in the first picture.

Still works, just have no need for it so it sits. It could barely play wow, it had a PCI video card and it lag the hell out when going to any town. often times I had to logon on my main computer to move around in town haha.
