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

[Shirai]

The burden of proof lies on both sides and I still haven't seen any proof of a classic server being economically viable.
I haven't yet seen the army of players ready to jump on and play this, heck the biggest advocates (one hand full of people, mind you) can't even get legacy linkshell together.

If SE thought it would make money, they'd do it.

You mean like an FFVII HD remake? Or Nintendo making a full-fledged, main entry Pokemon game for home consoles? Both of those would make money, don't you agree? Yet neither one has happened yet.

You have no way of proving that money is the issue.

I haven't yet seen the army of players ready to jump on and play this, heck the biggest advocates (one hand full of people, mind you) can't even get legacy linkshell together.

To be fair, despite the fact that I'm pro-classic server, I wouldn't join a legacy linkshell. It'd be a total headache to get set up on the current servers.

And you don't have proof money isn't.
Where's your counter argument, I'm waiting.

lol they most likely moved to private servers. All I see is one hand full of people rejecting the idea.

Where is your argument period? Proof like the others say!

[Shirai]

Wrong, it's not rejecting an idea.
If you actually read, all we're giving is reasons why it's unlikely to happen, yet all we get is "you're wrong, you meany, you hater!"

Yeah, I read those too.
But that's not an argument proving a classic server will profit SE.

Still waiting for your argument as to why you think a classic server would make SE enough money to build one and keep it running.
Because I am of a firm believe that it won't.

The debate should not be if it is likely to happen or unlikely... you are derailing the thread. The issue is about players wanting a classic server and if it would bring players back. The answer is yes. You nor I don't know for a fact if it will work or fail. This thread is for a plea to SE to make one. It is up to them to decide. What do you care anyhow if there is a classic server? You'd still get to play in your own server.

To debate fiscal facts is pointless because you will never know unless it is tried what the outcome will be. All you post are opinions and just that. The same goes for people who say it will be a fiscal success. It is just an opinion not fact. Did the OP ask how much money SE would make when they made the opening post? No. The thread is about player interest in a server. If you want to talk about money etiquette would dictate it be done in another thread maybe?

You were asking me for proof that money wouldn't be an issue, which I gave. Your next question is another one entirely.

I've already given my reasons, you're asking me to repeat myself. I'm still waiting for one of you anti-classic server folks to give me any proof that a classic server wouldn't be successful. Instead, you're all just making yourselves angry and spouting off your opinions as fact.
