Thanks, Mumon! Very nice to be back! Was wondering when/if I'd see you.
Did I have bank characters??? I don't remember that. Any idea why? I mean, we had banks in those days too.
Don't even remember the Nazgul(s?). But I do remember you having very nice spells. You are just about the only person I remember from those days, apart from some immortals... and Gothmog.

Everyone from back then are greatly missed. They were the ones that helped make Genesis as great as it were. Them being good or bad.

I actually miss the queues, cause then you KNEW the place would be crawling :)

There were no banks where you could deposit money at that time. So they each carried a couple of thousand plats :)

Ahh, right! You could only exchange money in them! Totally forgot about that :D
And it took a while before that exchange code would work properly as well. Those gnome banks always seemed to charge the transaction fees several times, or fail to minimize all money or charge for the platinum you carried as well, or... always something.
Cindy got restored... (titan in the current level system - people are a bit more powerful these days). Think I should ask to get those bank characters restored as well? ;)

Don't remember those queues either, Avatar, but I sure do remember the crawling! 7 hour uptime, where the first half hour was slow due to people trying to connect and rooms loading, and the last hours were slow due to memory being used up. But the few hours in between were very enjoyable! Killing smaller things to get some equipment, to be able to kill the ones having decent equipment, to be able to go after the really nice items.
