    It only seems to be misinformation if it doesn't paint your idea in the brightest light. I'm not saying this to be mean, but that's the impression I get based on how passionately you react to criticism of the idea.

    Please correct my "misinformation" when you've conducted an extensive scientific survey consisting of a meaningful percentage of the current playerbase. Until then you can't just discredit me by saying I'm relying on assumptions, because you don't have a lot of data yet you act like you have all the information.

    I do appriciate you being more respectful. Please understand that while I may not be backing your idea I do not intend any hostility and I do respect your position even if I don't agree.
    I can correct you right here. You obviously haven't even read the thread, or you would know what the person you quoted was even referring to. His response was referring to if we based what the community wanted off of the forums, it would even show the majority viewing these threads wants one. That was what his comment was towards. It has already been brought up several times that the forums in no way shape or form represents the current player base, past player base, or future player base, but someone else jumps in and says "no one wants it", we gave him an example of apparently people do.

    P.S. there is 2 threads for this for some reason, and it makes certain things that have been discussed may be in the other thread. That being said, I'm sure they are in both considering the repetitiveness of the same thing I keep saying over and over in both threads lol.

    I have read the post, and a couple things are bugging me about it.

    1) You have 9 likes. The other thread has 6. That doesn't seem like a significant backing even by this forum's community. I've seen many complaint/idea threads with far more. I think you are overestimating the support for this based on that alone.

    2) You ask people not to consider the development implications. That's like asking mechanical engineers not to consider the amount of time it will take them to reintroduce an old car when they're trying to design and develop new ones. Stuff like this takes time- You can fuss over how much or how little you want, but it still takes some amount of time. It's also an ongoing thing. The "classic server" wills till need to be maintained and recieve updates if you expect people to keep playing on it- Yet you're asking people to ignore these factors.
