Terrified, alone, in the plane of hate - if not properly prepared, you will very soon be left with the most classic aspect of this game, emulated perfectly here:

LOADING.. PLEASE WAIT.

If you feel that you cannot acheive glory in this game just because it is old, then you are not playing it right.

Anytime you are deep in a dungeon with a small group (or solo, or even in a raid)...and you are balanced on the razor's edge as the battle ebbs and flows...and it begins to look bleak.

And then, through perserverance or a desperate change of strategy or sheer luck, the tide begins to slowly turn. You then begin to hope that just maybe...just maybe...you (and your close-knit team that is now operating like a machine) might just pull it off.

And you do.

That's where the glory is. It doesn't matter if the game is 10 or 100 years old. Glory is glory. Even in a dumb old computer game.
