Will such a server ever happen? Well, NGD has unrelatedly said, we can only go forward, there is no going back. That might be the sum of it, quite likely. So, don't hold your breath, but thank you for this nostalgic trip driving down memory lane....  |
Looks like we have a very different idea of what constitutes "classic". To me anything up to 1.07 would be great. 1.5 is the update that began the games decline with around half the playerbase leaving in protest. The game never recovered from that and has been in a slow downward spiral ever since becoming more and more generic to try and recover and at best slowing the decline but never reversing it.
Going back to the faster paced, less forgiving version with more char diversity that once existed is certainly a better idea than simply merging and closing the server down.
