Ummm what happend to the hoescape I knew and loved?

Hey all just looking for some answers. Like why the sudden change in the client? I really liked the old one and like I know everyone that played before it change worked hard for their accounts. I just don't fully understand why the server has been change to something so boring. Like leveling isn't a challenge and neither is getting money so now what is the point of pking? Like if you die its no big deal but before it was actually a challenge and it made it fun. So could some one please give meh some answers?
