This is what turned me off, a few years back they would just go down the list of servers and create a temporary mirror shard of each for about a week and then delete that mirror shard and move on to the next one. It was for testing or some **** like that.
So they happened to do a mirror test shard of chespeake for a week. And mind you that you have all your **** in this temp chesapeake shard that you would in the normal one, except what you do in the temp mirror doesn't have an effect on the permanent one, oh and you could set your skills to whatever in the temp one.
So one of my friends on chesapeake had around 25k-30k of each reg in his house plus a bunch of other crap. Anyways so the week they put up the temp mirror shard of chesapeak happened to be the same week that we didn't have school. So a bunch of us brought our pc's to his house, set up and just pked for like a week straight, never having to worry about having money or regs obviously. But of course after 4-5 days, beleive it or not it actually did kinda get boring. And after that, just trying to go back and play the normal way was just boring as hell, and that ruined it for me.
I guess now ppl have set up their own free shards to play on, one of my friends was trying to get me to play, but that game took so much **** time it was unreal, and thats one of the reasons i wouldn't play it again. I remember faking being sick so i could stay home from school, because you could get so much done because no one else would be on the server, lol.
