I had many a great experience playing on the legacy map with long time IPX members like Shad, Robag, Somtin, LinuxSlacker, Jr, chipper etc.
I still remember my first day in Rust, after most of these guys had been playing for a few weeks. Questions like: – where are you guys? – how do i find you?
Were answered by – Navigate by the sun – Go to the road. Then run the entire circuit of the map on the road, we’ll do the same and eventually we will find each other.
Good times. You didn’t need a map. You just figured it out. And if you went out farming, and had a poor sense of direction (like myself)… you’d forget where your base was. Well honestly that still happens for me years later with a map in my inventory.
Unfortunately with Rust being completely rewritten, its been impossible to play the legacy map with new Rust.
