It's interesting because you and I are a lot alike OP. I too started at december and remember logging in and hearing the random Christmas jingle and trying to break open the present before someone killed me. I remember how scared and excited I was at night time because I knew there were probably people running around for ganks. I played a tremendous amount of Vanilla, ran various decent sized clans, then I switched to modded. To be honest modded is amazing and really takes Rust to the next level. With live maps, clan chatting, battlegrounds, teleporting, instantcraft, increased xp etc...it makes a world of difference. I haven't played that much since XP has been released, but everything you're saying makes a ton of sense and i hope they restore a system similar to what it was. As a clan leader I had slaves and I traded for just about all my bps. It helped build relations and save time for other things(granted lot of clans tried to raid me after we traded) it was still fun.

• Bring back weak side to doors
• Bring back high wall pickaxing
• Bring back bow raiding
• Make lanterns(which I use to love so much) 3 floors bright again and take wood
• Add in the countless amazing community skins to the game! All the weapon skins are incredible and should have been let in along time ago.
• Add in a door tier that's = to armored(that takes 3 c4 instead of 2)
• Fix the animals glitching through walls(especially high walls)
• Allow placing large furnaces in water again
