Hello!!
Welcome to WLO!!

The first time I played WLO was maybe in 2007 or 2008. I recently came back after taking a few years off, and I'm sad to say, that the changes are very obvious for veteran players like me. Even I'm guilty of saying things like, "It's not the same" or "This server is dead." I wish you could have seen this game in its glory days. You guys would have LOVED it. There was something magical about this game and the communities it built that just can't be replaced.

However, like you said, the game itself is fun, and there are ways to enjoy it. Veteran players, like me, might just be stinky grinches for griping and complaining, but although it may sound cliche, I guess you just had to be there... WLO is great, but back then, when the communities were lively and bustling with energy, when people played together instead of making full teams and playing by themselves, when guilds were like family, when stores filled Carnie and Kelan, when prices were affordable and everything sold wasn't just Item Mall stuff, when events were hosted regularly by GMs with riddles, hot springs, puzzles, games, and quizzes, when the game was constantly being updated with something new to do -- it was indescribable.

I still love the game, but I can't help but be a little nostalgic when I think about the past. Therefore, I hope you will excuse me when I say I miss the old WLO. Anyways, enough about me, I'm glad you guys are having fun though! I hope you guys build your own memories within this game, and even though the game is much different from before, I hope it can be "magical" to you guys in its own, unique way. It may different, but I guess different isn't all too bad.
