I did the Christmas events, right? I did the one with the Wooly hats. The same year there were the marionettes. I never knew about the marionettes, and when I returned, I met someone who was around the same age as me. He had the marionettes. I was like. WHAT. I wanted to kick my however-old-year-self in the head.
As for EOC. I really absolutely hate combat. With a passion. Like. Straight up. Screw it. It's stupid. It's dumb. It needs to get lost. I also hated the old system; throw up a prayer, chill out, drink a liquid, and watch the screen. I really hated that method. Of course, at the time, when I had started to play, I didn't understand it, either. It sort of felt, uh, rushed. Like, it was trying to do something, but it really wasn't too sure what it wanted to be, so it was just there. Sort of felt like a test-play-type of thing, too.
EOC made me... more engaged. I sort of thought that EOC was everything that Old-RS wanted. That this was the sort of thing that it really wanted when it started, but the game wasn't too sure how to project it, without messing up the old system. You get me? x.x
But... yeah... I still bloody hate combat, but I find it a tad more interesting now. It makes DG more enjoyable, too.
