Thread: Stuff I Miss From 1.0

Does anyone miss the innovation and novelty that fatigue brought to MMO progression? I think we can all agree that it revolutionized the MMO genre in an unforgettable way, and I for one find myself missing it with each passing day.

While the Fatigue was one more system poorly executed and balanced in the mad rush to launch.. I still find it mildly funny that so few recognise that we still have effectively the same system, just in reverse >.> Now we have a low experience gain rate with a limited boost to it instead of a limited high gain rate that's lowered after a while.

Sure, the basic numbers involved now favour a faster rate of levelling, but functionally speaking the only difference is how people read one as a punishment and the other as a reward. At least in broad stroke terms. The fatigue system would have returned just the same levelling rate with the numbers inside it similarly raised, the human mind just reacts better to being told it's getting a bonus.

Also Fatigue was supposed to have a reward system based on playing whilst fatigued .. but yay one more casualty of the v1.0 development rush/debacle >.>

I don't miss being absolutely amazed that a game could be THIS terrible, and chucking it in the garbage...
Thing I miss about version 1? Not one thing.

I would counter with..." Really? You found something redeeming about version 1?"
Your question is kind of like " Really? you don't like the smell of pooh?" Of course I didn't like it. I'm amazed some did.
Yes I'm putting version 1 in the same context as pooh. A huge steaming pile of the stuff.

Silly old Platypus.

I think its funny that you think 1.0 was THAT terrible when I can name several mmos what were much much worse. At least 1.0 was playable. I am sorry though that your memory of the game is so bleak.

My memory is based in reality. Objective facts. It was SO bad, they scrapped it, fired the dev's and shut down the servers to start over again.
So...please, save it.
I am truly amazed that anyone stuck around, let alone a thread for " what do you miss".
Excuse me if I'm a little bitter for wasting my money on version 1. I was diluted into thinking the next FF title couldn't possibly suck. Boy was I wrong.
