Relaunch - 2nd Server - Classic Warhammer Online

[Celyt]

Ball park idea, why not relaunch the original game and use the same gear/values as live? I talk with people on the server all the time and everyone wants to see the game how it was on live.

Live was worse (balancewise)

seems like a lot of players disagree with the recent situation, recent patch and other issues. was there ever a version on RoR, where most player were happy with? just asking (wondering about that)

Sounds like an absolutely garbage idea.

The truth is, I barely played on the live server, and I don't remember much of what I did play, but I've heard great things about the original server, like the massive mega city sieges, or the simple fact that the flags had champions to defend them, the high level sets, the campaign progression, and almost everything I've heard sounds wonderful. I hope it gets implemented on this server someday, so that with the improvements already in place, it becomes a fantastic game.

yes people always have a distorted image of the past, they can't seem to get off their rose-tinted glasses, no matter what, when talking about games or experience of their youth, on top of the usual "grass is greener" bias.

I loved DAoC when I was younger, the lore of Albion and Midgard enthralled me (I appreciated Hibernia lore much later), the gameplay seemed so modern at that time, but I would never say, today, that it was the perfect game or that I'd want a new server released with the original SI (shrouded isles) experience. You couldn't even level solo on most classes, buff bots were rampant as they made you 3 times as strong, etc.
Time has passed, game design has evolved a great deal, some lessons have been learned, like that slow levelling in a RvR game makes for a poor experience, especially since older games are usually played by older players who often don't have as much time in their hands as when they were young.

That's just to say that I really doubt all those people praising the live servers are being objective. Sure, some things could have been better, but others were probably worse.
Besides:
1) If those servers were 100% better than RoR then there would be no logical reason for all the QoL things devs have implemented here;
2) regardless of all the above, there is nothing to gain from considering the general situation of eons ago on a general level. It would be much more useful to try and pinpoint what was working better on live and why it was working so much better than on RoR. That woulp be useful to give the devs some constructive criticism.
