Classic Server

[Sirmarki]

Why a "server"?

Personally, this is not something that interests me, however...

An opt in "mode" could be added into the current game and servers, kind of like an enhanced level sync system. This would offer that player, under that "status" a classic experience.

That would be a lot 'easier' to implement.

In Layman's Terms, a hypothetical situation:
Player on Asura speaks to a designated NPC;
Player is now in "Classic mode", and has a little icon above their head;
All content which existed in 'whatever is considered/established as classic' can ONLY be accessed, no 'modern content' can be accessed. EXP with this special status is limited to what it was in 'classic times'.
No need for additional servers, no need for paying attention to one 'classic server'.

It's been suggested many times- a simple feature that would allow you to arbitrarily level cap yourself without needing another person at the level you want to sync to would make it a lot easier for people to experience any content at its original level of difficulty and with the appropriate skills/gear for the time.

We already have level sync and also a level restriction status, so the back end mechanics for such a thing already exist. All we need is the ability to have these things whenever we want to have them. I honestly have no idea why we don't already have this kind of functionality. No special server would be needed.
