Both are right. There are such and such vets 
Its impossible to tell people how the game was when guilds with 400 ppl competed for the server first guild level 60 ding. When players stacked inside and outside of Runnyeye and the lag was incredible. When the HoF platform was crowded on a saturday evening so ppl almost fell down. Thats not how Freeport is today...
A lot happened since then. Many, way to many good friends are gone. Thats why some vets are a bit grumpy after all. Especially since many of those gone warned SOE over and over again. /growl
