Removal of the old towering system without implementing the new one was just weird. I know there were those guilds who would just hop after 1k hours to get a hat, but what is the real problem with that. At least back in the day there would be multiple guilds having competition over the spots.
The removal of towers was just super weird too. Snow town and York were really fun IMO. They removed them without adding any more content with longevity. They killed towering by making it what feels like more of a grind then before to get a hat that you don't have a say in how it looks.
I spent a lot of time towering back in the day, probably more than I should of at the time lol. It kinda sucks that when I log in every once and a while there is just a longing reminiscence for a different time. I guess you can say that about a lot of games you played in your childhood but it still doesn't make it any less sad.
