How I got my name
Many people say what is a “Spops”? What does it mean? So let me explain… Before starting out my adventures in Vana'diel I was addicted to the game SOCOM for the Playstation 2. When I first started SOCOM I thought of this awesome name: Sp.Ops. Sp.Ops was of course short for Special Operations. What I found out though was that everyone in game would just call me Spops. So when I first purchased FFXI I thought long and hard about what kind of quirky name I could come up with. I finally decided why not just use Spops, it sounded like an odd enough name for Final Fantasy. So Spops it was

How long I have been playing for
I started out my adventures in Vana d’iel in November 2004. Back than I played on the Bahamut server. I did not make it very far into the game because I did not have a lot of free time back than. I think I ended up with having RDM, WHM, BLM to 15. Unfortunately in March of 2005 I was moving and just did not have time for the game anymore. So I was forced to quit.

In October 2006 I decided that I wanted to get back into the game, I really did miss it. So I signed back up again and created my character. This time I ended up in the Seraph server. I have been playing ever since.

What got me into this game
When FFXI was finally released in the U.S.A. in 2004 it came bundled with the HDD for the PS2. The prospect of a Final Fantasy game online really intrigued me. But once I heard that it would cost me $12.95 a month, I said forget this. I was not about to pay a monthly fee.

A few months after the HDD’s release Zipper started to release some new maps for SOCOM 2 through the Playstation Magazine. The catch was you needed a HDD to save them. At first I said no to purchasing the PS2 HDD because of the cost ($99.99). Than my brother and a friend who I played SOCOM with picked up the HDD just for SOCOM maps. So me, not wanting to feel left out followed suit and picked up the HDD. I figured what the hell, at least now I could “try” out FFXI. However it did not take me long to realize that I enjoyed the game.

My time in Vana’diel
Majority of my time is spent in Experience parties trying to get that next level. I am active in a Dynamis shell, and looking to pimp out my RDM in full Relic. My shell does 2 runs a week, and I am usually there for both runs. Other than that I enjoy working on the missions of the game.
