I started CF in 1994 back when I was finishing college.

Me and a friend played Trusty and Grumpy. Two fire giants that got to level 5 (10,000 exp was the pk threshold previously) and killed people walking around with mercs and full looted everyone. Stalked the pit for loot and everything. Basically being a complete ass. That was just the norm back a long time ago and you accepted it. I do not mind getting full looted. Gear while nice and fun to acquire is overrated to get back into it after getting looted. You can get a decent set of gear with decent weapons in 20 to 30 minutes. I feel this is all perspective. Not everyone has to have hummingbird pendants. Enjoy them when you get them, but do not get mad when you do not.

Glad I have evolved since those days.
