When gold was worked for instead of bought and items/clothes were able to be attained without paying money to get it. Items worth anything at all is now in the billions or worse. When people were actually wanting to socialize with each other and not just talk about pointless stuff. There was always something to do and it never got boring. It has gone way too far with all the cash shop, tiers, and "pay for this" crap. Way too many announcements about cash crap when they used to actually be interesting to read. The site has gone downhill. Honestly. I remember when it first came to be and it was FUN. Not pressure to spend real cash to get something you want. Where did that go?
