    I probably wouldn't have liked 1.0 very much.
    If you looked into the history of 1.0, the gaming community pretty much agreed with you. So despite the fond reminiscing of some cherry-picked aspects of the original game here in this thread, the game crashed and burned, BADLY.

    If you want to know more, there are some good videos on youtube which highlight how the game was back then, both the good and the very, VERY bad.

    I have said before to folks who wish they played 1.x that 1.x was a horrific mass of technical jank and questionable design choices. It's just a horrific mass of technical jank and poor design choices that we can, on occasion, be nostalgic about. Now that we're at a safe distance.

    The marketplace used to run like our housing system does now! There were instanced market wards, and if you were able to get one of the market stalls in those wards, you could put a retainer out with inventory to sell (like you can in the front yard of your house even now). And instead of a search engine, you got to go wander through each market ward, talking to each retainer at each stall to see if they were selling things! Doesn't that sound amazing?

    I aim to make my posts engaging and entertaining, even when you might not agree with me. And failing that, I'll just be very, VERY wordy.
