Nobody influences my descisions, Beta was better for multiple reasons, but gamma has improved the game in some aspects.
However, I miss Beta because of;
1. Actual clan loyalty, where people were proud to join factions, specific factions, and people made plans - AND stuck to them.
2. The legends - I can honestly say I considered level 30's back then legends in some cases. Cases such as 0xblooD, Angels Holocaust, Comicbike and his alts, v3gitIX, Gamal, yes I am fully aware they botted etc. But they werethe players people aspired to be.
3. The legendary factions - TSAAS, ED GLADIATORS, SavageKillers, BKoC, Alliance of the Loreans and many, many more, proper teams, so tight and organised.
5. The builds - Mercs used field commander and intimidate with high dex, regardless of all the other skills. Nobody abused support, people averaging at about 52 with enhancements. Bountys used more str/dex with POISON, but there were the super skilled players like Uaex, Angels Holocaust, Shaniqua, Sparticus an others used the Frostbane, and everyone was absolutely baffled, an energy weapon on a bounty hunter? :O And they used Reflex boost and Energy shields, and the EMP grenade.
6. Few people were maxed levels, and aside from bountys, players usually adapted their own build. There were few generic effective builds, and in making a good one you set apart the men from the boys :] I remember asking on the old forums about a support or tech bounty, a tech merc or a support mage and people laughed it off only to discover one day these builds would become terrifying.
Ahhh nostalgia, world 8 oz was full of spammers, but you could guarantee good banter, and doin something other than clicking 1v1 for 6 hours a day, like rapping with FK and Raven :p
EDIT: Goldshock, Gamal isn't anonymous, that's Uaexhero, he's a mage now.
