who remembers the 2009 pr2?

[Glitch]

I joined it late summer/fall of 2008.
It was the first online multiplayer game I'd ever played.
My little brother joined  a little before me and I thought it looked super fun so I joined too. Then we were low key competing to hold the higher rank. We introduced a few IRL friends from church to the game too. There were 8-10 of us that played regularly. Sometimes we'd all call each other and talk on speaker phone while we played. Carina was our main server.
The servers were completely full during the day. We'd all sit there and repeatedly try to log into Carina until we got lucky enough that someone logged off at the right moment so we could get in.
I made lots of other friends through the game. It was great for me, socially, because I wasn't allowed to hang out with anyone from school, just church.
PR2 was so energized back then. Everything was new. The crown hat was this great mystery. People were finding new glitches and coming up with new types of levels, like traps, FXs and hotels. The vast majority of people were still pretty low ranked so reaching rank 30 was super impressive.



yeah i remember when people would type omg rank 28
