Wow those "being a peasent is the best part of crpg yea!" posts are hilarious.
You must be retarded or masochistic or both if you are saying that.
For me, it's a combination of both masochism and nostalgia: i remember spawning in cRPG. It was a big battle, EU1 i think and i was all like: "wow, awesome... look at that cavalry and those archers. Whoa i can hear the arrows whistle around me and the drone of the hooves. Wow, look at that heavy cavalry guy... looks like he's heading toward me... wow, cool! He's lowering his lance!

Cooooool! I like this game. "
Those first weeks i played cRPG was really fun and challenging. I didn't know squat about manual blocking and stuff, but who cares? I had my cheap and fragile shield, i could follow the mob. It was, and still is, great fun! The sense of danger, the exitement of the first kills... the steep learning curve. Good stuff.
