nothing made me harder than seeing Prontera City on iRO in 2004. it was a bustling online cosmopolitan high fantasy heaven on earth. Thousands upon thousands of merchants lagging the shit out of the server with drops of various quality. From the lowest of the low chitin to MVP cards that granted you godlike powers that dropped 0.01% of the time from area bosses with time-limited respawn rates, of which there were only a handful in existence on the server
