Even though this thread is inactive, just wanted to post something.
I remember when I first hit level 100, I was momentarily the happiest kid on Earth. That level up sound, that 3 digit number, the fact that I was part of that "3 digit number" club made me feel so special. I was grinding frogs at the time, and it was amazing.
Still remember the time where I was finally able to don on the Beholder set. Grinded so much just for that particular set, and it really made me feel like a whole new person, like wow - I'm actually level 130+ (or something, forgot)
And back when the game was actually lively, full of amazing people throughout the community, I remember just standing in robo city, looking at what set to get next, when all of the sudden, coke_na_rc pm'ed me (yes...) and told me something along the lines of "where are you right now?" I replied "robo city" and he just simply told me to wait there. What seemed like 5 seconds later, he initiated a trade with me, and gave me a skull crusher helmet, for what seemed like nothing. I thought I was supposed to give something in return, but he just confirmed the trade and just like that - I got a helmet of a set I was working next on getting.
But that's not even the best part. He gave me around 200 tickets as well, to buy area teleport. My mind then was blown - to get this kind of gift from a top level player, who was still a respectable person at the time? Felt amazing.
Keep in mind, I was roughly 9-10 years old. I didn't even hit puberty yet. It really sucks to see this game just fade away, after all, I learned so many things from this game. How to grind, how to bargain for trades, heck, even know how to type faster, was all because of this game.
This game was amazing for what it was back then. But now, it's just...there. Nothing's happening to it, no updates, no bug fixes, the creator's not even doing anything at this point. I bet, with a new update, particularly the ones that I've seen on the Suggestions thread, would get this game rising again. One such example is Flashlight237's. Dude's an amazing person with equally awesome suggestions. From his suggestions of beefender, 9 new slimes, birds, spiders, even hemalceous park. I love looking at his artworks because it felt like it was actually PART of the game, and because of the amount of positivity and feedback he gained from his work. Adding his suggestions could possibly make the game popular again.
But for now, the game's not moving anywhere. It's full of people crowding around mushroom village and robo city, spamming messages about how they're trading a pet for 250k. It hurts to see that this is what is left after an amazing and beautiful game...
