I kinda disagree with you, but I agree with you to a certain extent. I didn't really play IT in the later days at all. Do you know why? Because of the items! I hated the items! Yes they were very cool looking, but they started so much drama. I loved them at first. You have no idea how excited I was when the very first item, the Santa hat came out.
Later in IT, everyone was crammed into default where you could hardly have a proper discussion or different dimensions. When I tried looking in other maps, there was no one there, or they were just in another dimension. It was impossible to find my friends! And sometimes they wouldn't tell me what dimension they were in, so I was alone and left out. I could have made friends with other people, but most of them were mate begging, item begging idiots who just capslocked in your character's face asking if you have a KT Helmet or some other rare item :/
I joined IT sometime just after Version 4 came out. There were no items, no markings, even the character's shading looked all blockish and strange. (if this was IT at this point, imagine what FH will be like in a year) At that time there was more or less 100 or so players. But I found someone online almost every time I logged on, in some map or another.
Yes, I was excited to be able to play a winged character and to be able to fly whenever, and wherever I wanted. There are no wings in FH but I can live with that. My characters don't need wings. In fact, I never draw them with wings. I just added them to be able to fly. I'm accepting to Kov's choice to not have wings.
That's why I like FH. Because it reminds me of IT in its early days, just with more players.
There probably won't be any items either, but you know what you can look forward to? Arokai.
I probably sound like a bad FH mod by encouraging you to go play another game, but FH and Arokai are friends aren't they? In fact, I heard that Kov helped Superfeesh code the game at some point.
Come on, you get to play seven different species. Seven!!. And the customization is very similar to IT as well, where you get to change the proportions and such. (keep in mind you'll only get to play owls in the first release of the game).
AND there will be items in the character customization screen!! There's also gonna be these lemur merchant NPCs which can explain where the items came from in the first place.
I can safely say that I'm really looking forward to Arokai. Srsly, just look at that eyecandy. I can just tell it's going to be an amazing game.
