Remember the days when a regular Titanium Serpent Sword, Leather Pants/Boots, and a Titanium Chain Mail was only for the uber people.
I remember everyone feared *CO* with a passion. People would shudder even if they saw a *CO* member in a non PK map.
I remember was fighting was 3 skills instead of just two. (Combat/Attack/Defense)
I remember when there was not a second continent.
I remember when the Fluffy Rabbit was first introduced in the game.
I remember Radu actually as a nice guy back then.
I miss those days, that's why I'm hoping this server will be a great one, like the main server used to be.
You missed a few things... such as...
I remember when critical failures were put into the game.
I remember when you did not need to reasearch anything.
I remember before they instituted auto harvesting (yes, one click-one harvest).
I remember before map walking was instituted. (Made getting around very annoying.)
I remember when not only did everyone fear *CO* they
hated them.
I remember when there were not a million guilds ingame, and politics actually mattered.
I remember when you wanted to buy something, you actually had to go to a played character because there were no bots.
Yes, I've been around for almost as long as you have. And like you, I took a break, only mine was about 2-3 months after the big crash.
