Archangel Wrote:To me, one of the major reasons why the current installment of IN is more impressive and feels more legitimate than previous is because the staff seems more laid back, generally speaking.
What I mean by this is that our staff is willing to work with the players more openly now than before with things like deco and suggestions, etc. On IN:R I got the feeling that the staff members were so focused on making things exactly one way, there was no room for deviation, and on IN:X it seemed everyone from either the XUO side or the IN side were too focused on replicating their own servers.
Now I'm getting that old great and free vibe from the players and the staff, as if this isn't a place where we're locked in to certain styles and ideals, but rather a clean slate to build on top of.
Or maybe I'm full of it? ;p

When i first started here i thought "meh gonna be another one of those RunUO servers but ill check it out anyway" to my surprise things were being modeled with deco after IN1 and thought "hm well i bet the combat system the same as AoS" but then I got to thinking and started testing stuff and found out no it wasn't. When i came to the forums and saw people giving suggestions on how IN1 was like and the staff actually listen (Which KM and Justin Time never did in the past just did there own thing) I have to say I was feeling not only nostalgic but also that this server had opportunity to be what drove people to it long ago. At that point I was hook, the staff actually wanting people to tell them what they remember from IN1 one was something i couldn't turn up. There are still many old IN members out there with really old screen shots then we probably have missed and could turn up at any time to help with look, or even what was on there back then. I remember you had to give a RP story before you were even let in. Just last night i remember float potions if you guys even remember those lol. They did nothing on IN1 but was funny i remember that. I remember the gm cooking reward back then that had a custom cook book of items you could cook, but theres not a script for it for RunUO thats already out there . Not saying i want it or anything lol but little stuff like that can help drive this community to what it once was
