A huge part of me wants to put up the exact exact replica copy of the original ROA based from 8.1 server and watch how:
1. No one gave a sh!t about the storyline since the only way you would actually know the storyline was, being able to get access to the library in each city which had 7 books where you would have to sit there and read each one to know anything. If you could explain why it's called ROA and what the general storyline is, I would be VERY impressed.
2. How the storyline wasn't even incorporated with the gameplay other than changing the names of a couple of monsters
3. See how unbalanced and useless a majority of the 40 vocations were.
4. How if you didn't donate for t5, you would basically sit a tree and lumberjack it down every 5minutes until you got enough tokens to buy t1, and keep doing that until you got eq.
5. How boring it really was.
At the end of the day, I still will be bringing the original aspect of ROA back but everyone has to realize that, this era of ROA won't be the same one you saw 5 years ago.
Abbadon was a child found on a battle field by the then lord, he was taken in as a foster child and grew up with his adopted brother, who turned evil when Abbadon was made lord over him. Sanctum was created from a frozen wasteland when they found a magical object mining wasn't it? That's all I remember.
Anyway, I was not saying the old RoA was balanced or fun by any means (unless you were a sharpshooter of course). I did enjoy reading the stories in the library's in all the cities and the way the bosses back then were tied into that story was very interesting. I actually like the current RoA you have created much more than Bill's, it is already more balanced and the way to acquire tiers is much more enjoyable.
It is just somewhat annoying that you can barley walk out of the DP with out someone attacking you once you hit 20.
