When in beta you could root a blood red mob and kill it with an uber (buged) flame thrower that had no weld requirements. Level 1 could do that cuz roots didnt break . Fixers, agents and NTs leveled real quick back then .

...When Thuggg was around, ALWAYS TALKING IN CAPS, and cheating and stealing from everyone...
... when you got escort missions
... when Snarf looked a bit lost in Inquisite Wasp, waiting for his team to make the Shadows .. we beat him to it, but we used about 2 hours to get that stupid gizmo to work (guild long lost now)
... when cyber armor was much better than all other armor
... when you snuck just inside the Varmint border, seeing blood red lvl30's running boldly westwards, and a few of them running not so boldly back
... when you felt like it was your lucky day when two mission entrances in a row actually worked
... when that stupid guy (forgot his name) threatened to sue FC because they refused to give him his "trademarked" name *lol* .. he went from the ultimate fanboi to the ultimate whiner.. all the new whiners are choirboys compared to this guy... (someone remember his name?)
... /crotch
later...
... when people had Knight armor
... when kicky blitzed to lvl 200

...When aimedshot was worth using.
...When you could use an aimedshot during combat without having to be in sneak.
...When getting off an aimedshot was easy no matter where you were.
...When you could go into sneak while being attacked to lose agro.
...When you could fight while in sneak mode. Allowing you to pull one mob out of a pack.
...When the agent could truely fill in the gaps of a team to make up for the fact that they had no useful nanos of their own.
...When agents weren't limited to what they could cast in FP.
...When rifles sucked, and agents were the weakest defensive class in the game (which they still are), but it didn't matter because aimedshot would deliver a nice crushing blow to offset that.
...When rifle range accually meant something, because the cap was not 40m and outdoor hunting was the norm.
...When traders were the least played class, and everyone thought that shotguns sucked.
...When no one knew what a wrangle was.
...When TMS blocked 75% of damage and returned it back to the attacker.
...When outdoor hunting was the norm. Missions were only for soloing and cash.
...When people had to accually trade for the things they needed.
...When stigma rifles were a agent favorite.
...When the gripo com went past QL 50.
...When if you had 100k credits you were set for life.
...When sunglasses were uber rare and sold for millions because of the dupers.
ROFL ok this was abit late but i think it says it all

When you saw your first blood red (lvl 30) omni in tir county and ran screaming in terror for the safety of Tir cause you thought the game was a pvp game . (so mayb I was extra ignorant sue me)
When colored text first appeared and everyone was asking everyone how to do it, and those who could were jealously guarding the secret.
When you got tired of one outdoor hunting spot... and moved to another .
When there were no gimped, and no uber god proffs.
When mobs did izgimmers last word and as a soldier if I was quick I could be the only proffession that would actually survive .
When funcom added quests and everyone ran around talking to any and every npc in joyfull anticipation, little knowing that "quests" meant just the dodja quest .
When Apps ruled 2h0 with insane range nukes and tree perching. (damn but I miss apps)
