If you go any older than that the packet mismatch is huge due to the removal of 3DES (packets no longer need to be in blocks of 8). I've been writing an emulator for EP1 to bring back this golden era of LastChaos but it is far from complete and is a project that I work on seldom.

@Red: The moment they introduced magnifying glasses and the yellow/green/blue system was about the time I joined LC, but I find it hard to belive people would want to play on a server before that time (we're talking about Levelcap 90 here from official side, when lvl 70 set was the highest you could get).
Equipment was randomly improved by applying bloodgems (forgot their actual name) to your parts, you were likely to get stuff that didn't even help you in combat. I can't see any category where this system outranks the new one after that.
I personally loved the idea of grinding the same mob for hours and hours, cause you knew that there was this slim chance you'd drop a b6 eva item (best case cast helmet) and that would be worth all your trouble *10 times. It gave grinding an additional purpose, you weren't just doing it for gold, exp and sp, but for that extremely rare item.
