I would pay to play OF. NF is the reason why I quit.
I logged out at DL (Hib) and forgot that they were pushing New Frontier the next day. When I logged in I was by myself running around the zone with no guards or mobs. You couldn't get into the keeps. I should have just stayed logged in for a few weeks and seen how long it would have taken them to port me some where else.

I logged in my buffbot years later, and I was standing at old DL.

Shrouded Isles Beta!
First day of DF
Day 1 or 2 or something right after release.... Pretty sure it was Day 1 might've been 2
I liked NF better than old frountiers too. I didn't like ToA as it added a item tiers to the game that benefited way too greatly in rvr. Also hacking/radaring. ToA really is what killed it

ToA would have been perfect if everything could have been completed with 1 fg, and certain respawns were reduced.

Intex you remember BD doing the first run-throughs of the TOA master levels on Mid/Igraine the day it was released? Gawd if that wasn't the shittiest expansion ever to go live... the lag and the bugs still boggle my mind. SI was grand though... that was a fantastic expansion and probably one of the last good things they ever did to the game.

You really think that the SI release was on the same level of /fail as TOA?

Both SI and TOA were good, problem is that they were
badly tested / bugged, TOA way more than SI

I played with Wizude on Galahad. He's in the SI beta SS.

SI was an awesome expansion. It really added a lot of good things to the game. ToA was so horrible that it killed the game.
OF was much more fun than NF. NF introduced impersonal zerg RP farming. Back in OF things were calm enough a lot of the time that you could actually recognize some of the enemies you'd fight and could go after specific individual targets.
With NF, you just spam AoE into the opposing mess of characters from your mess of characters, and never even got to see who exactly you were fighting. It isn't a coincidence that RP gains went up by a factor of about ten when NF came out.
Boring Zergfest.

Uh NF was less zergy than OF most of the time. If you wanted to zerg you could but it was much more open than old emain.
TOA was awful and killed the game. What on earth possessed Mythic to release a gear- and raid-focused PVE expansion in a PVP game I will never, ever understand.

NF turned out to be pretty awesome. I loved OF until the rise of the Animists turned everything into MG stalemates where three or four animists could stop any number of enemies from coming through.
SI was awesome and made crafting totally worthwhile. But they failed to update the epic armor sets, making them worthless and killing the value of the epic quest.
ToA sucked balls and definitely killed the game. I can't count how many RvR guilds were decimated by people quitting rather than grinding out the master levels required to remain competitive, especially when so many of them were broken or wouldn't register completion (for some random players).
I did enjoy a resurgence on the Classic servers and put a lot of time in at the beginning of those.

ToA was more buggy then si. But it had more to be bugged. Hib Si was a god damn disaster. Mid was peachy. I believe they got around to fixing the ac pathing a couple years ago if even. Hibs Gala dungeon is still fucked I think. Gala.. Poor hibs.

Hmmm, I could go with that if they also retcon'd the state of the game back to that release.

No you would not.
In fact, I'm pretty sure there's a server out there like that, or there was. Classic server it was called I think? I could be wrong about that.
