Classic Server

[ruzoko]

The only way that SE would be able to make this sever work is you have 1200 people who wanted to play on it.
So why not make a petition and get people to sign it. Get enough sigs and maybe SE will listen.
As a corporate officer in a company, I can tell you that they will listen with enough voices. Nothing grabs upper managements attention like paperwork, esp one that has a ton of backing. But arguing back and forth on the forums is not going to give you that satisfaction, nor will it give SE the "warm fuzzy" that they want to get something like this up and running.

I miss the old days to a point, because they have great memories, but I think a lot of people who "miss" them are dewling in nostalgia of how things use to be compared to how they are now... and once they realize how bad it use to be under the tyranny that was the 75 capped World of Tanaka, they will run back to the normal servers and the classic server will do exactly what would have happened to the rest of the game if it had not changed; wither and die.
But! All the more power to you in getting something like it off the ground.

Nah, this "nostalgia" you speak of isnt there ive heard that term over and over and fact is those who actually would play on a server like this and stay are those who KNOW how hard things were in the past hell i spent 5 years to get a relic and when i obtained it, that was the highlight of my ffxi career was my highest achievement. Things then actually gave that feeling as opposed to now when its handed to you easily and even the hardest parts of current ffxi doesnt make it feel much of an achievement, little separates those who are horrid players to, hate the term but "elite" players who know whats what. Even with top tier gear its not hard for anybody to get the exact same thing even leveling isnt an achievement in current ffxi its a quick rush to fully gear up and move on to the next.
