This server is pure bliss for me. It's very clearly the best option for official gameplay from older episodes. It closely matches the most authentic old-school mechanics, and is really fun to play. It's not easy - and that's one of the big perks, in my book. You earn what you have, and you learn to appreciate it for how hard it is to acquire. Just saving up 50k zeny to get that weapon from the store is its own adventure. I've gone to so many maps I'd never have gone to otherwise! Immense fun.
