would a 1.36 server bring the community back?

Was watching a couple of old vids, seeing a lvl 75 archer dominate a TW was really nostalgic, why not have atleast one server with the old codes, it would bring a ton of old players back, encourage newbies, heck atleast don't go further than Sin's, miss when the big thing was getting aps, when you farmed for it and not dump your wallet for a r9 >_>.
Make the server with a certain fee, PWI, if youre lacking so much in $$.
Cheers :3

    I, for one, do not miss the days of 5aps dominating everything.​​

    5aps could be easily countered by any arcane class, i used to play the game when it was skill that determined if you could kill someone or nah

    Ah yes, expel with five or six 5aps sins+bms hitting you and praying your squad killed them before you died. Honestly, not even dbs now are quite that cancerous.​​

    This is a neverending story for EVERY single mmorpg out there.
    Nostalgic oooold version of a game and why offical servers should exist.

    maybe they should, maybe it would be nostalgic but the truth is: they will never do this. I never saw something like this happen.
    Also only time would tell how long it would take to have the first +12 people stomping the "nostalgic" soldiers here and they would cry again. So... yea.

    I miss those days where i could spam my favorite dungeon when x2 came around (Nirvana <3) but every single new dungeon is one time only per day which sucks.​​

    Yeah, everyone does that lately when their threads get moved. I can only assume it's because they aren't intelligent enough to think of other areas that aren't General Discussion. I was also going to merge it into the other recent suggestion for this that was posted recently, but got sidetracked. It gets posted about every 6 months anyway, so who cares.

    When you're merging servers to boost single-server populations, and releasing on Steam to try to revive the game and bring more people in, reviving an archaic version really doesn't make a lot of sense. Even if they did such a thing, it would take about three months for it to become boring again, because there wouldn't be any content left.​​

    Well at least I would not be stuck with dailys every day.

    Really due to changes in life im down to 2 hours a night now playtime. that includes time spent on here. Their is just to much to do for need to keep up with other players. I cant do that. Slowly finding it hard so ive been playing other games. Sad to say. the Engine update would be nice and may help but no go on that one.

    time is telling a story for as long as its here I will play when time goes. Just so much to do now in this game makin coin is hard and with limited time close to harder impossible. Kinda wish the system would track time and help you out a little... Anywayz here we go...​​

    I started June 2009. I would not go back to the way the game was back then, with the one exception of I miss mobs dropping items worth more than the coin drops. Currently contracting is a booming business, but it all goes back into fees for upgrading buildings Q_Q

    tbh there is at least one MMORPG that does have "nostalgia" servers and players are pretty much happy. I am not sure if I can mention the game, but it has something to do with escaping and running.

    After such a negative response, it's funny that the top private server for PWI has a bigger population than PWI it self, but that's none of my business. Also sorry for the double thread, it was moved to ankther section and got only 36 views, notable I made a 2nd, cheers.

    Both wow and runescape are working on vanilla servers. Seems to be a trend in mmorpgs

    Sure i mean it can work and it might bring back old players who enjoyed the old game but if i remember right a GM actually replied to such a thread years ago that they cant do it because they dont have the old code and such.
    Thats blabla i know but realisticly speaking, this wont happen with PWI.

    Private Servers only do well because everyone gets the stuff for free or minimal cost (donations?) and can pvp everyday all day without spending money on scrolls, apos and charms. PWI pvp can actually be fun when everyone is on the same page and level gearwise.
    Other than that, yea credit card users dominate on offical.


    I actually miss the old days too where i needed some good people to do dungeons and such but this wont make me play a P-Server for it or join a offical low version server. PWI is a game that i do not want to start from scratch ever again.​​

    [REMOVED] Sorry, but we can't discuss that here

    The thing with private servers is that they allow players to do what they like in the game, it's not only pvp centeres, I played for a really long time and I must say custom dungeons are as fun raiding as it was back on PWI, obviously pvp is a huge improvement also as you mentionned everyone is near to being equal.

    One mentionned the Veno OP bleed in 2008, it was OP because no one had one, it was a rare thing among normal players and it was 't noticed as much as the cutrent PvP fluxed by r9 cashers.​​

    By more player base you mean a **** load more alts right? Because if its the one i'm thinking of, everyone has like 30 or 40 accounts full of max level toons to farm one event on Saturday. So how is that any more of a player base? lol
