Yeah, going through 3 years of fighting over KB to get my PLD a ring was some ridiculous time I wish I didn't spend, but at least it kept me amused and out of trouble. They've changed this game and it's targeted base pretty drastically, though, and if they brought back the XI NM system in its entirety the current ones would twitter/forum nerd rage.

At least XI somehow managed to keep a lot of subscribers even though 99% of them didn't HNM by giving them a real sense of community events. This NM system was a pretty bad attempt and figuring out how to do that again.
