That's just a bit unfair. I mean the floor and equipment and chests were still there, but every wall was just gone.
I don't get how it's rated so well when it's so anti-newbie. It was almost as bad as Everquest, where you're killed by rats and always one slight mistake away from losing all your equipment and days worth of exp grinding.

Everquest almost permanently murdered any desire I had to give the MMO genre another chance. I swear, the developers of World of Warcraft must have analyzed that game, pinpointed all the things they hated and felt were grossly unfair about it, and made sure none of that crap happened in WoW. It was so good for a long time, but then I think too many expansions drowned it.
