Thread: The old servers?

  1. #21
    Okay, I peeked. I don't suffer fools. It does not surprise me you are friends with Anamelle in the least.

  2. #22
    So predictable heheh...

    Yes I am indeed friends with her, I do wonder why you have mentioned her specifically since she hasn't posted anything about you here...

    Don't want to burst your bubble( I do actually) but most people have more than one friend

    Edit: Still waiting for reply to my other 7 points...

    Electronite: FFA also destroyed Clan hegemony when it comes to tower wars. Ironically the downfall was started by the most active pvpers. Another ironic thing is that the downfall happened due to pvm conflict.

    I wouldn't touch most of your posts. Reason being quite perfectly plain from the last 4 or 5 posts here

    I think a few posts ago I said what I meant to say. I made 8 points about your suggestion...or is that not allowed? (still waiting for a reply to them *taps foot* )

    If indeed you want to make suggestions and not allow anyone to reply or debate what you say then I suggest you keep your suggestions to emails directly to FC.

    Would make a lot of people happy I bet

    Expansions don't enhance the game, they just extend it and make the beginning easier to catch up in order to race frantically at the "front"

    While it's obvious you want to be an idiot, I see no mention of that in your signature either.

    Edit: (I realised that you might need this explained to you. )

    Your opinions mean nothing to me.

    Your opinions mean nothing to about 99% of the people who hear them, and you don't shut up.

    Old content...Not the old servers that couldn't handle 40 vs 40 battles.

    2. Maintaining these servers would cost them more money again.
    They currently maintain RK3, which is reportedly the emptiest server out of the three. I have no doubt, just by the amount of people I know who say they would return to AO if there was a classic server, that there would be more activity on it for them than on RK3 alone. The profit would far exceed the cost.

    3. I struggle to imagine how this could be marketed to new players..."Come and buy half a game!!"
    New players wouldn't be the target customer.

    4. Certainly it holds appeal for some existing players...but of course that would then dilute the existing pool of players on the live servers...though not by much I have to say, as posted above it would be cool for a week at most then just terribly terribly lonely(though that might suit you just fine)

    5. As suggested by others, there is nothing stopping anyone from playing the old game...its called the froob program and costs FC and anyone who makes use of it not a penny. I very much doubt any revenue FC get from the froob program would pay for a whole other set of servers for a handful of people to get all nostalgic.

    6. It wouldn't be very noob friendly since the vast majority of people it would interest(hmm, lets say maybe 20, nice round number) would be Vets of this game and noobs wouldn't stand a chance.
    Nostalgia isn't the point. AO was a completely different game back then.

    Thank you JPZ1987a.

    Old players and those that:
    • Just don't like the expansions,
    • Don't want to go to the bother of farming all the items,
    • Don't want to be cookie cutters.
    • Find the expansions, especially LE, dead boring.


    That would be the target customers. As JPZ1987a said, different game, who knows how many would start out on the regular servers and decide they would prefer the other one?

    Rusty makes a point. No one would really want to pay for 1/2 the game which they already get for free.

    I'd be for what EQ did with Classic EQ. Launch "Progressive Servers".

    On the day the server launches it's classic EQ.

    After a Set amount of time and/or quests allow the server to advance to Notum Wars. Then with Time and/or quests advance to Shadowlands. Slaying of the Beast begins a timed countdown to the Alien Invasion. Slaying of the Auxiliary Commander allows you to obtain the Invasion plans to trigger a count down to Lost Eden.

    Give those who missed out a chance to experience it without forcing people into a perpetual state of froobness while paying for it.

    It would be a pretty painful ordeal for anyone, new or old, to relive the fact that the game got worse over time. Just roll it back on one server, polish up the leveling system, improve some of the profs that were underpowered back then.

    I would pay for that. (access to the server not an account upgrade "you are now trapped" thing)

    I don't like the expansions they make the game too easy (in many ways) and just a longer search for cookie cutter items.

    Would like character transfers for fr00b accounts but would be happy to restart.

    (I bet a lot of people would pay to see me go to that server too.)

    --------- to clarify:

    Paid server that is expansion free.

    (toss in a buy one get one free so I could let a friend in or have a buffing alts account and you have your first sales gimmick)

    ----------------------


    Okay to be more clear


    Leave Rimor and Atlantean, exactly as they are or merge them to increase the player density.


    Seperately;

    The old server is brought back online. Accounts page has an option added to pay for access to that server.

    Expansion free server.
    No Shadowlands, no Hecks, no need to get more items when you have "finished" your toon. No laggy cities, (towers yes :>S as part of free content) no Fugly Lagfront shop.

    Get to add a second account under yours so that a friend can join you or you have your alternative toons account.
    I guarantee you NEVER played the original AO.
    I am the baron.

    you still got to remember that most players on rk3 paying 1.6 times as much as people who charged in dollars.
    when you want to play old school like make a froob account and don't accept help from paying players.

    Fr00b does not equal how it was. It gives you a hint, a taste of what it must have been like before the rot set in but it is not the same.

    Actually, on second thought I'm all for this idea. I'd roll a trader on this server and camp MMD for Jenshai just to gank him every single day until the permadeath kicked in xD
