I def miss those good times we used to stay up all day and night and IRC back then was the shit!
This was the best time ingame for me.
Indeed, good times! Hah, the Repos, the Bros... I miss them! OBT2 was among the best gaming experience I had, even compared to solo games.
Sadly, they're gone forever. I tried the OBT2 server that was started months ago with OBT2 server saves, but it was just not the same, both in terms of feelings and in-game: factions killed it.
