It was my favorite experience. Empty, beautiful, peaceful and very exciting. The ambient music is my favorite of the whole series and it really set the tone.

I liked the feeling that you and a few other people online were the only real human survivors and the bots and mutants were the only things left in the world.

That changed after people complained… I quit after some changes were made. I logged in recently and now it’s full of generic NPCs and bullet sponge enemies. Not for me anymore.

I guess I’ll never be able to go back to that feeling right after release. It really was something else.

Anybody else play the game right after it was released?

I did. I loved it.

I don't like the hollow feeling the npcs give the world. It was empty but full.of mystery.

Now it's generic in a lot of ways.

But, there is hope through server emulation.

I am sure the old version will come back some day.

I would love to play the old version somehow. If there’s an option to disable the Wastelanders update, I would be back online.
