In addition, why do you think people played old EIR so long? And why the guys at OMG still dream of old EIR to this day? It allowed a lot more freedom
That's really not why most people miss the 'old EIR'. I mean, the ''old EIR' that many miss had Availability. It's only after fldash quit and before eirrmod took over and for +- 6 months under EIRRmod that we had no such system in place. I would guess most people miss the old EIR for it's retarded OP doctrines. And some just miss it for no particular reason other than the misconception that things were better then.
