Sig last updated properly when West Athens still had people sitting about the subway.
If you really want to play AO Classic that bad, go roll a froob account. Unfortunately, you'll be constantly overshadowed by the paid players (the PvPers will be hit the hardest by this), but that's just too bad. Plus, before the expansions there was no GMS, no raid interface, no LFT window, no BS, no duels, no fancy chat system, a rigid and occasionally crappy GUI (those were some rough transitions, though), even worse pet pathing... trust me, AO has gotten better.
Jeez louise is Lincoln is rolling in his grave right now.
Duh, which is the whole point of a classic server.
Market forums...They were actually much better than the GMS also, because it required more player interaction.Plus, before the expansions there was no GMS,
Bots, and the lack of a raid interface actually gave more of an advantage those who utilized team play through multiple groups, microphone comms, and so on.no raid interface,
Note how the LFT window was never necessary until the player population started thinning out. You also did not need LFT before shadowlands, when most places in the game were easily accessible and players had hangout spots you could frequent if you needed buffs or teammates.no LFT window,
Excuse me while I laugh out loud. BS is not 'fun pvp' even by the definition of some new schooler PvPers.no BS,
Are you seriously trying to say people didn't duel before the WoW-copycat /duel command was introduced? If anything, pvp was made more carebear by it. Not only is there no title loss, you don't even lose your stinkin' buffs. Not even any humiliation screenshots of dead bodies or title gain text to celebrate a gratifying kill you made yourself. More people dueled in the pre-SL days anyway - far, far more. People were actually at arenas back then.no duels,
Maybe not ,but you could at least customize what color text was so it's not just a sea of white text for 4-5 different things.no fancy chat system,
So many things wrong with this. First of all, the IP interface was way more interesting than it is now. Second, there were multiple GUIs. Third, people liked the old GUIs so much that there was even a remake of the damn thing.a rigid and occasionally crappy GUI (those were some rough transitions, though)
Since you (I assume) play the game right now, maybe you oughta take a hint from the game's player activity if that's true.trust me, AO has gotten better.

Ah the myth of the noble server strikes again.
What's funny is that Stromm's vision of reviving the old servers and Jenshai's idea of a RK-only server are probably polar opposites
bai2u!

fr00b != pre-SL
Very simple, server is the SAME as it is now, however, expansions are disabled.
Crude suggestion, because in the real world, additional (even or especially old) server hardware still costs money to operate. The 50 people interested (I would be one, mind you) to have a look at the good old times without expansions, just dont add up to the cost of operating and maintaining the hardware.
And because the bean counters at funcom know this as well, you can forget about it. Be grateful if they wont pull the plug entirely in the foreseeable future...
ಠ_ಠ
Merge the Germans into RK1 then RK3 is free for this.
Costs the same and has the potential to make people happy and bring people back.
The reduced population has nothing to do with the expansions, per se. In fact, most of the recent (and glaring) problems have seemingly arisen from post-expansion patch content.
Trust me, I would love to go back to the old days. But I can't. It's not financially feasible for FC, nor is it so important that I'd quit AO over it.
You know, I actually rolled a froob account once. It wasn't anything like the "glory days," but it was close, and it was fun. Try it for yourself, then see if you really need the old GUI back that badly.
Yes! yes, yes, yes! yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!
Yes!
It is affordable using the RK3 server.
It can easily be done, just flagging to disable the expansions.
We have tried fr00b it is not the same.

instead of merging the population of rk3 to some other server, how about merging jenshai with a nub island rollerrat? the nub island rollerrat union will probably object, after all a rollerrat is good for newbies' xp bar while a jenshai is only good when you need to fill a trash bin and you dont have any other garbage handy.

What would be the real difference, they would still get their German OCC obviously and the biggest gripe? They would have more people. RK1 would have more people. They could sing songs in two languages while camping something.
Edit: ... and how does one log on there to ask them if they would like it?
Yes, I'm sure making the lowest pop servers of AO even lower pop than they already are would be a financially sound endeavor.
