Well, when I left we were having all that basic stuff with damage, durability and life steal <m<.

I came back and it was somewhat the same but with different leveling system (SP rather than posts) which made me look through all of the trouble of reading the rules and counting my threads.

Not long after I rejoined the sword art system came along.

More updates and so on ...

I feel ya.

It's part of the reason why I left, because even the little newbies in CB were higher level or close to me COME ON XD. But yeah, system changes are never nice to deal with, it destroys some characters, makes others stronger etc. I mean tanks became bloody walls but had to sacrafice a huge amount of damage to do so, and vice versa 

Yeah, but that's why there were a respec when the sword arts were introduced, but the updates didn't really touch my character that much, my build is relatively the same as before all the updates.
