I'll echo the comments and sentiment. I've gotten quite used to the old graphics and don't have any real complaints. I'm having a lot of fun wondering, when I'm out exploring, if the next step I take will result in my death. I must have died 10 times before I hit level 2 because of things like this and I thought "oh yeah, this is what it's like when games are supposed to be hard."
Like the OP, I was 22 when I first started and now I'm 33. Nostalgia can be fleeting but I'm definitely going to stick around. I really enjoy seeing all the auctions in EC, remembering how rare/wanted some of those items were when I played on a PvP server (EC tunnel was almost empty on TZ because it wasn't safe).
