Ol'West kinda reminds me of when Era was at its best.
Low player count, not too much to do but fun nevertheless, clear segregation between people who are new to the game and those who are not, skill based pking/sparring,somewhat cheap affordable guns/weapons which don't take a credit card or 10 days of straight grinding to obtain, I could go on.
I'm just hoping that the development team take updates slowly and ask for player feedback first before piling it onto the server. Perhaps use Era as an example, and learn what the players did or did not like.
