It's amazing to see how far this server has gone. I was here pretty close to day 1. Got a few characters with born dates of sub september 2009. A lot of people didn't even know this server has been up for so long.
Watching all the switches to make this server classic have been pretty awesome over the years. If we had a brand new server with all the changes that have taken place intact, then forced to use a classic/velious UI we would be as close to classic as I can remember.
I watched AA screen, target rings, dot stacking, snare/root stacking, shared bank, gnoll fang quest, 1 dmg to avoid pets eaten xp, compass, maps, target #, mobs with much much larger hit-boxes, mobs that moved at snail pace, and so much more go poof since I've been here.
I kind of feel bad being able to use most of the functions that was available at one time that no long exist.
If we ever get a fresh server, we would be in great shape towards a classic server with or without a classic/velious UI. We must not forget about the things under the hood that the Devs/Mods worked so hard on.
