That's not a long time.

THIS is a long time.

- There was only 1 Emergency Quest
- Everybody got Shop access for free.
- You could actually make money with vendor trash.
- The best weapon in the game was a 9*
- Jellen Shot was viable.
- It actually took some time to level up to 20.
- Leveling through 20 was a nightmare.
- Level cap trials required 90 of each item.
- Getting your mag required you to get drops from Rockbears.
- People would actually hang out in other people's rooms.
- The Item Tekker was on the second floor.
- Red Boxes sometimes produced vendor trash.
- Maintenance every night.
- Hunter was completely useless.

Monomates etc. were intravenous and you had to get 10 costumes of certain type to get a rappy suit.
