I didnt play old cRPG (started in march 2011) but now I got some glimpse of what old cRPG was. I really like the current one, but one thing I like about the stories of the old one is that it's harder to get some gear. I played a bit of Nord Invasion and I liked that system too (except that fighting bots on 3 maps gets boring really fast), it takes quite some time to get better gear.
