Whats the point of playing in full rusty if everyone else has Kunark, Planar, TOV gear at lvl 10? The point is classic Citizen1080 not how I gear my character.

Sound liberal logic

The biggest classic experience was twinking your character and being able to level quick as hell and not have to group with people.

Why be concerned with what everyone else has? I played my first character to 40 on this server with crap gear and had a ton of fun.

We are the same age, I was also born in 86 and started in 99 (maybe 2000 after Kunark dropped, I don't remember precisely), and I never got above level 50. I also had a ton of nice / expensive pixels. My point being, I'm not sure your classic experience is the same experience everyone else had.

Its the feel of the gameplay. If you tried to tank Seb king in full rusty you with a cleric in full TOV gear you would have a much different experience than with a tank in full TOV gear and cleric in rusty. Even more so with both players in full rusty. OR in this case everyone in full rusty (the whole group).

But your nice expensive pixels back then were probable FBR/Stein of moggok/Wurmslayer etc not FUNGI tunic, epic, Rod of Annihilation, JBB, Torpor 100% of class spells everytime you hit level, like it is now. right?

I didnt bring this post up to talk about my personal experiences it was a reflection, or how one can just "pretend like it was when it was classic" - When its already supposed to be classic...

Server was fun when everyone was praying for bronze drops and rolling on gladius' in unrest on their mains. Server is still fun when 2/3rds of your mistmoore group is wearing a fungi, just in a different way.

I am looking forward to the huge culture shock for the current populace when we get to play on a classic server that both resembles live in mechanics and population level, and the inevitable creative grouping opportunities that result of it.

I just play to play, I have OK gear for my level and everytime I save up a few 100 plat I pretty much blow it on ports. So Im just playing for the adventure, every now and then someone will offer me some old item they had for cheap or free, sometimes it's a little better and I buy it or take it.

I have a few packs full of some looted stuff I try to sell when Im running through EC, but I dont sit in EC I generall send an /auc once or twice while running through the zone and if someone wants to buy I sell., or if I see some gear piece at a price I can afford (which isnt much) Ill buy it.

But at the end of the day Im just hanging out killing stuff, exploring zones and enjoying the gameplay. To the point where I almost ran out of plat buying my level 22 spells.
