You sure as hell don't forget some of the experiences when you're playing an MMO designed as an actual world and the people in it are actual inhabitants rather than us just..being there lagging up cities till people go into an instance. People always love to say 'rose colored glasses' or 'nostalgia', but I had more memorable moments in 1.x than I did in ARR honestly..and it quite honestly is due to how the community tends to be.

You may or may not run into that same person again due to server grouping, but when you do and remember them, oh boy the salt that makes the run feel that much more "let me get my item and go" A lot of times in XI I like when some raids got drawn out because i loved the location and seeing OTHER people doing their own raids within same area even if it's competition for some pop items.
