Classic Server

Even then, I'd bet you anything the novelty wears off quickly.

Your conjecture was very interesting, thank you.

Now, if you would be so kind as to validate your claims with sources.

You want me to cite sources to support a purely hypothetical thing that never actually happened?

We're all conjecturing here, difference is that I don't pretend mine is backed by facts. You keep saying "Classic FFXI would work because Classic Lineage worked". Which makes no sense. Lineage != Final Fantasy 11. It's like... Sex and the City was a hugely popular TV show. Then it went off the air. Two knockoff series then followed--Lipstick Jungle and Cashmere Mafia. Both failed miserably. But your mode of thinking dictates that they should have succeeded, because Sex and the City was popular.

Again, this is faulty logic when you use a simile of something of no relevance. You would of been better comparing WoW knock offs that failed, which is also an entirely different reasoning. It isn't just Lineage that has been pointed out in these threads also, there has been several different success stories. One of which is almost similar in all aspects except the job system which is EQ. There is also a "more probable than not" basis when you look at supporting evidence of the facts, which he is saying that he has provided. He is basically asking what supporting evidence do you guys have to validate the supposed failures that exist with something like this. There hasn't been anything provided, so how can we determine based off of known information that it would fail, because the known information that has been provided shows that something like this would succeed rather than not. That's to not say that it would, but like I said, "more probable than not".

I'm providing a logical basis for my reasoning based on empirical evidence. Your personal beliefs are the basis for your conjecture, which are neither rational nor valid.

If you're going to suggest that a classic server won't be successful, I'm going to need more than "because I said so, here are some hypothetical examples I made up." Without validating your claims by citing relevant sources to establish a logical basis for your reasoning, your argument has no solid foundation to stand on.
