A long time ago, I played the international beta, and a little of the JP beta. It was my first MMORPG. I loved the BGM, and still listen to it often. I always wanted to see what the game was like after beta. So I set up my own private server and played it for a little. Nostalgia drive! When I first played, Izlude didn't exist. I knew they added it later, though. The beta server was very unstable because hackers were often brute-forcing the login server to steal accounts. The entire server got rolled back several times, too. So there were various problems, and I had some traumatic experiences (spent ages farming Mighty Staff only to have it stolen, etc). But I also made some fond memories of travelling and exploring with friends.
Not sure if I'll continue, as there are so many other games I want to play and things I want to do. After recording this video, I found out the official servers are still going. That's a surprise. I thought they died a long time ago.
