You played when there were only 6 skill slots instead of 9 on the other bar.


I'm bored and was browsing my old screenshots, found that and thought I'd make this thread so... looking back, what makes you guys feel like you've been playing this game for too long?

    I miss the old interface. It looked a lot cleaner IMO. Especially the squad list. It's so bulky now, it takes up too much of the screen.

    ^THIS^

    And call me old fashion, but I liked the old icons better too. Sure, they could seem a little outdatet, but I still liked them. Both the icons for different classes, and the ones that you see at the bottom right of the screen.

    There have been added too many buttons, and they all seem so modern. Stop doing this, and spend time on bug fixing instead b:victory

    Everything has its beginnings, but it doesn't start at one. It starts long before that... The world is born From zero. The moment zero becomes one is the moment the world springs to life. One becomes 2. 2 becomes 10. 10 becomes 100. taking it all back to one solves nothing. so long as zero remains... One.. Will eventually grow to 100 again.

    And they were 100% correct. This game is way less fun now, then how it was before .... hit the fan. b:cry

    I was actually thinking this.

    And spirit charms were actually a thing. I remember on my very first cleric people advising me to get a spirit charm because it was cheaper then pots.

    It says the '08 video contained "malformed video ID"

    I started PW right after Sanctuary opened up, and even a couple months in, I remember when good TW guilds were recruiting 50+ all classes 40+ clerics. :P

    Also remember when you actually didn't see how much hp the mobs had, so you went on trying to take a mob/boss before you could see that you actually needed a whole squad to kill it (yes, we actually needed whole squads in the early days).

    I like the old interface better as well. And I hate the new class icons. GUI doesn't need to look pretty, it needs to be functional and some of that utilitarian simplicity was destroyed when they went to make everything look pretty.
