YES YES YES, absolutely YES! Great find. What is the enchanting situation like? I really want to camp the Den gates with a +11 supreme like the shitter I was born to be.

This version is surprisingly well done. The only hiccups I encountered so far were a lack of mobs on certain maps (had something to do with the mothership spawn) that was fixed relatively quickly and when you are on the ground as an Agear and a mob bumps you, there's a 50/50 chance you will get flipped. Flipping doesn't damage you, but it messes with your aim a little bit. The field of view thing can also mess with your aim as an Agear, but I don't know if they included that in the "retail" version or not.

Ofcourse, the grind is way faster and they did a good job of making sure you were stocked with enough money to gamble and enchant your weapons and armor. Definitely worth a try!

Even though most of the helpful sites are gone, I found a combination of these three to be extremely useful for getting you where you need to be:

https://kyonevonfrios.webgarden.com/menu/air-rivals Concise and easily accessible information. Most applicable too since it stopped pre-EP4.

https://oldschoolrivals.com/pedia Private server wiki. Most entries can be found in the in-game FAQ as well.

https://forum.subagames.com/forumdisplay.php?f=10&s=9759ceefc5546d10faa011dcc13203c3 The retail version forums. Contains EP4 information which doesn't apply to this version of the private server, but has some generally good tips.

The game is still great and the GMs are very active, especially for a private server. If you are a feeling the itch, there is no better time to scratch.

Also, I found the most important resource of all (I can't believe it's still active)!: https://www.siegemode.com

That site's been badly neglected for many years, so I wouldn't trust what it says too much. Also, I heard the guy who made that site totally sucks. And his username is stupid.

You beautiful goon, you. That site speaks to a better time. Also, it's like one update past where OSR is right now, so it's drat near perfect.
