Oh trust me @=VG= Skitalez I am in 100% with you.
Some of the old layouts are far better than what we have currently.
I also miss some of the first players I started playing PR with and I was grateful that they recorded on YouTube so I could remember the banter or shenanigans we would get into, either from the situations that happen, the PR bugs, or just player interactions.
Sadly, we can not go into the past. But we can take action now and make sure that our friends know we care about them and check in with them. Try to connect as much as you can. I actually became best man and planned a wedding for a player that I met online and never met until he said he was going to get married and we should all meet up.
The other thing that I recommend is let people know about changes you want such as missing old layers, the DEVS don't know until we tell them.
