| I played in retail off-and-on for 5 years in the "golden age" (imo).   At the time that I began, the maximum possible level was fifty.
 I never did experience the times when level 99 ruined the game.  When I heard it was coming to a close, I was anxious to get back.. when I discovered it was "ruined" I thought, "nah - the game is 'dead,' already.
 
 When I found that there are private servers, I thought "hm...."
 
 But, most are "give-away" - which is fine for many, but I suppose I'm simply "Nasomian at heart" - perhaps just as I am more fond of Bastok.
 
 I started here about Nov 2015.
 
 Thus, I have initiated a linkshell called "Bastok Republic" which anyone may use to further players who similarly feel the "pull" of being a part of that City-Community.
 
 Long Live Nasomi!
