Classic server, what's the argument against it now?

[Alhanelem]

I just want to address a couple of points here.

Is 6 Likes really enough to allow us to draw any sort of conclusion?

I'm not sure how you can say more people enjoyed the 75 era than not, what does that mean? Or did you mean more players enjoyed that era than now?

Either way, I don't think you can state that as a fact. Sure, the game population was higher back then, I think we can agree on that. But the playerbase was very different back then as was the gaming environment. I suppose you can submit your guess that what worked then would work now. But everything is so vastly different now that it's really no more than a guess and certainly not absolute as you went on to state later.

I think such a server would require much more effort to construct than we think and would not be able to sustain any sort of player base or any kind of stable economy. I think the same problems that plagued the game in those days would persist and be exacerbated by a low population. Of course, that's just opinion but it's based on real experience and things that really happened to a lot of people.

This is just another case of people drawing false conclusions / interpreting data incorrectly. 6 likes on a forum, therefore everyone must like it. Less people online now, therefore the game was higher quality back then. if 3 other studios can do a classic server (at least one of which was not actually made by the studio), then it will work for SE too. Too much conclusion drawing with not enough data.

We have provided so much data. Thanks for providing yours.
