There are a bunch of posts in that thread where I point to examples of WoW servers that tried to do exactly what you're describing and how it didn't work out for them.

Like in theory it does sound awesome, I'll agree with you there, but in practice it just goes to shit.

Let's do the Time Warp again!

New to Nasomi and have a question? PM me, I'd be glad to help!

not since the start but for awhile.

1. Random zone crashes ,some of them were later on attributed to /emotes , emotes were then disabled for a long time. glad they are back.
2. Basically only gettin invited to dune pts , krt once u hit 51 . with some quifim and CN pts thrown in.
3. R.I.P Riverne , 30k/hr 40 sync pts
4. Blms were op as heck , maybe get slapped down to hard tho.
5. Community was alot smaller found yourself leveling with the same people alot which was pretty cool have alot of friends i met in pts during those times.
6. Money was easier and harder to make , now you can run an ah game , before u could only run certain items on the ah and had to do alot of npc for
gil(still very effective obviously)
7. Lag
8. No fishing
9. Treasure hunter was rate was much higher , dont remember the numbers was at least th2 lvls at lvl 1.
10. I miss the Nas boat and or Choco circuit cause who likes running to bastok honestly.....
100x this

server has only been gettin better even if we dont agree with every change personally , i think we can all agree on that.

Dont want to derail thread but wanted to point this one out specifially

We used to have Gear lock , it was disabled due to zone crashing while fishing in gear lockd or something iirc. Really want that back any word on the subject?

LOLOLOLOL

Beginning to understand why you'd like name changes to be available.

1. Server wide linkshell. It had it's merits in the beginning. Was so much easier to find or give help to those who needed it. Once the pop increased, trolls destroyed it.
2. Mobs didn't move at all unless you attacked them or they spotted you.
3. Smaller, tighter community, you knew everyone on the server and who you could depend on.
4. Server commands were added like @die (insta-death) because you would get stuck in walls or log in under water in Port Windy. @release for being stuck in cs's or dialogue with npc's.
5. You could crash the server just by zoning.
6. You could lose all "Key Items" by just checking them.
7. Before virtual servers were added for each zone, if the server went down late at night you would have to wait until the next day when Nas woke up and fixed it to log back in. (See #5.)
8. Bind was super OP. Attowa Chasm was the only place people wanted to pt. Bind worms, spam ranged attacks.

None of these things, or the problems others mentioned, ever discouraged me. I couldn't wait to log back in!

Yeah, its pretty obvious he wants a free pass to continue being an asshat. As I said in the name change thread, name changes undermine the sense of community.

It's also irrelevant, because his personality isn't temporary.

Out of curiosity, how many of you old-timers got those super rare NM drops when there was no competition? Also, are most of you super rich (as in millions upon millions of gil)?

Yea. Back then, when you first logged in, nasomi would hand you 20m gil and all r/ex drops that you wanted.
