Quoted for truth.
I remember the 70 cap and the time when people actually participated in the Triangular Conflict, on all three sides. I remember grinding on tigers and black tigers and watching long lines of traders marching through as I try to dodge NPC thieves that went aggro on me if I got too close. I remember when thieves would disguise themselves as hunters, hop the ferry, and switch back to the thief suit to rob the caravan when it hopped the ferry. Times were different back then. It was a fun time.
I remember the 80 cap where people were waiting to be come level 20 and get the job outfits. Level 20 was a great achievement for a new player and the 1-star trading for some serious money would begin. You would always have to be carefull for 1-star poppers: High level thiefs that had a transport full of items that would put their transport near yours so that their npc thiefs would kill your transport and they could steal ur goods.
When your goods were stolen and you went back to leveling after the dissapointment, often high level hunters whispered me, telling me that they killed a thief that dropped my goods. THey would tell me where the goods were and protect me
Then you reached level 30. That was really big. If you reached level 30 you were with the big guys.
Silkroad was so fun back then. It died quickly after the 80 cap.
