Why it's still played
| Reason | Detail |
|---|---|
| Nostalgia | It was many players' first MU |
| Simplicity | Fewer systems, focus on playing |
| Classic PvP | Direct combat, no power inflation |
| Progression | Earning items means more |
Nota: 0.97/0.99 servers usually have lower rates and a community focus. The journey is longer, but each achievement weighs more.
