A while ago people were wanting the old cRPG back. XmascRPG came and people stopped playing it after 5 days or so. Now a few months later people are complaining about cRPG not being like it used to again. I mean, why didn`t you guys just play XmascRPG?
There are several reasons. It just doesn't work as well with 10-20 players on. It is also a grinding game, you work for you stuff, get it and enjoy. No incentive to grind when something is called XmascRPG and can be gone any moment. Not properly advertized or supported.
Still the whole system in the current game is better. It's the old mentality that I miss, although the current system probably had a hand in creating the current multiplier hungry all serious mentality.
