Got more:

Back in the day, mages can cast spell while running.
And now, we died more often from Iffy's eruptions & plums. Apparently mages rule too much if they can run all the time.

Back in the day, I could hoard anything I could get in my inventory.
And now, I can't do that anymore and it sucks real bad if rare drops thrown away because my inventory are full.

But of course...
Back in the day, I was lonely in this strange new world.
And now, I got friends all over the place and ready to meet some new ones.

and of course...
Back in the day, I still can sleep properly.
And now... I can't wait to see new excitements and had to sacrifice some sleep time. lol
