Thread: 1.0 server

They actually were going to keep the servers up depending on how many people logged on to say they wanted to keep it. Due to the data, was not enough people who wanted it.

Yeah since at the time people only cared to hear SOMETHING..ANYTHING about ARR/2.0 lol.

~This. I actually logged in pretty much every day the 1.0 servers were back on for that month and a bit at the end of 2012, and I only ever saw like two or three other people on my server - in fact one time I did a search and I was literally the only one logged into Ridill.

Most 1.0 players didn't bother logging back in because nothing they did was going to carry through to ARR, hence they felt there was no point in having the servers back, especially those players who had already done everything available in 1.0.

I admit I'd love to see the 1.0 servers brought back though, but more for sentimental value (and no, I'm not one of the '1.0 is better than ARR' brigade) - I'd just like to play it again for old time's sake.

They actually did keep them up, because the survey met Yoshi's minimum response for that. Iirc the final save was at the end of September or beginning of October, which is when they would have shut down, but they kept the servers live due to the responses on the survey. They were then shut down in November because not enough people were actually playing. I.e. the player base didn't put their money where their mouths were.
