Back in the days of boxed sets, I never ran into groups that did a lot of roleplay in a town setting unless it was an adventure module set in town. It was mostly dungeon crawls to get to the big bad and kill him. Hell, I can't really recall dealing with rest or encumbrance back then. Combat positioning was theater of the mind and limiting rules were hand waved away.

That is not meant to sound like good nostalgia. We had fun, but today's resources and rules are light-years away from the eighties.
