Back in my day...

[Fensfield]

Back when I started out, people could wear whatever they wanted without their pants flying off when they touched a radical, and weren't inexplicably repelled by shinier things.

We hitched on people and creatures a little before we passed through them, and they actually felt a tiny bit more real, and less like ghosts.

The creatures were such a size you could believe they were animals might really be able to exist, and it felt like for all that was so horribly wrong, you could console yourself in how they at least tried so hard to remember the little things helped you believe in the world they were giving you.

Still, we have so, so much fun now, don't we? But back then.. I didn't have to work quite so hard to forget this was all just some silly little game.

Back in my day lvl 20 cactars did 1k needles when you didn't have 1k hp.

They also did 1k to every one in the party. 15k needles was a bitch and a half i tell you what.

Well first off....
Attributes meant everything and gear meant nothing... so physical level was OP
A conj with a higher physical level than a Glad could tank better than the glad could if said Conjurer put enough points into vitality....

then November 2010 came... and the only thing that mattered was level.... EVERYTHING was based off of DLvl and nothing else (gear or attributes) mattered

Back in my day it took the same amount of time to level one craft profession to max as it does to max them all now.
