1.Fun party contents:
Hamlet defence, DOW DOM DOL DOH all can play together
the Job quest were nice too

2. Gears stay relevant, Relices were strong weapons in 1.0, sadly I didn't get it


3.Stories were real, you were not some superhero, the "Warrior of Light" in 2.0 is lame.



4.The world was real, it had the immersion, 2.0 failed to capture this feeling, 2.0 is just a park, a theme park.


5.Events in open world, well honestly, this Atomos event was not very good...but it's still better than FATEs


6.Epic boss fight, not just some dodge circles on the ground, heavily scripted, "rope jumping" fight


7.Yoshi & his team still had passion & heart, & they listened to players
(I am not asking the developers should listen to whining babies)



8.Events in town, players were fighting for their home(and for fun, the mobs didn't drop any rewards...)
now people just idle in town & queue for DF, yeah that's fun



9.And most importantly, the community, IT'S THE SOUL OF A MMO.
there's almost none in 2.0, 2.0 is a nice but empty body, 2.0 has no soul, yeah that's good, nice, fun....





10.The atmosphere... There was water in my eyes when I saw this.
Will you cry when you throw away your dated gears? I won't.
2.0 is just a park, The world has no weight, almost no good memories after 5 years playing, yeah fuuuun....


11.Players didn't left before server shutdown, now 95% players had quit....
