Old school servers

Here's an idea, create a separate server with all the old game play. Back in the 08/09 days the game was fun and it wasn't pay to win. A lot of old players would come back if you decided to make this and your players will increase.
I saw another game do this, they too destroyed the game with horrible updates but when they brought back the old server more and more people started playing and eventually there were more people on than ever before.
I want to know peoples opinions on this and hopefully PWI employees will actually read this.

Because making sense is too mainstream.

What does this even mean? You would need to be more specific on what is different between now and then that would make them want to create such a server.
BTW, the game has functioned off a pay to win model since the day you could sell gold for coin. aka release day.Retired

Where should i start..
- No rank 9
- No Tideborn
- No Bloodpaint
- No Earthguard
- No 5 APS
- No Nation War
- No Nirvana Palace
- TT alot easier
- Farmable FC
- No EXP FC
- Low Lv grinding
- Low Lv questing
- Low Lv PKing
- Low Lv PvPing
- No Rank Sale
- TT99 consideret epic and rare
- very few have rank 8
- No Packs
List could go on and on.
I saw such an suggestion like.. million of times on other games and 99% of the response from someone who actually could send such an idea to the devs are, that they dont even have the client files for such an old version anymore.
I think this is the case here too and also, why bring up an old version of PWI? Dont want any updates? Yea, worked well with PWI-MS. Go and play there *giggle*0 -

Here you go, sir. On a forum, someone else can answer your questions to the OP too, you know. I answered the question you made (marked in red lol) and gave you some ideas on what he might mean and all the things i listed, never existed back then
Just saying b:cute0 -

Wouldn't work.
Old school PWI, much like old school of another game, had jack **** for in game content. It's not anything special now, going back in time can't be a good idea.0 -

A matter of opinion. They can try to answer the question. I still dont' know what the OP specifically wants or finds so unatractive. What I have is your opinion of what you think he is implying. All well and good. But not specific enough or detailed enough to explain what went wrong where and why. And how this change would improve the state of the game.
The OP's original post is more of an emotional response to a remembered feeling of when a game was new. This happens with almost every MMO release. Someone at sometime wants to go back to what they percieve as the golden years.
And just to let you know. I am well aware that the game is different then it was when I started in Jan, 09. b:victoryRetired

I started back in Sep 09, so i think, i do know what he means.
All the Overpowered stuff we got by the time.
Sure i CANT give you the opinion, he is thinking of, but i think everyone gets, what he wants.
The old days where very good, i quested alot, done FB's with mates on my level, done BH's with mates on my level (40-ish and up) and and and, when i first saw a group of players hunting down Sword Tamer, that was some epic battle right there.
Took them quiet a while but it was a very good group back then and even got 2 crono pages.
Well anyway, its true, i or anybody else except the OP himself can give you THE answer, but you get the idea, right?0 -

I don't want to make guesses or assumptions. Do I grasp the concept of going back to an earlier stage of the game? Yes.
Do I agree with taking it back to the beginning? Well let me hear the pros' and cons.
In your post above you are already made a statement about the game that didn't exist in the beginning. (BH) Genies didn't exist in the beginning either and I like my Genie. So, If I was to support something like this I want to know the details. What am i giving up exactly and what am I gaining?
Unless you want to take ownership for this idea and start filling it out then fine I'll listen critique, play buddy, play devils advocate, But the OP has given us nothing. By the way by Sept of 09 the game had already changed a bit since release 08.Retired
