Srsly, the wish for some kind of classic server with old patch status is just the wish of few ppl who just can´t let go the so called "good old times", nothing more.
like a "few" wants the korean sounds & language ?
Yes, only a few ppl want a classic server like only a few ppl wanted the korean sounds and language or do you wanna claim that it was the majority that wanted the korean sounds and language?
That when the classic comes, they are not populated enough?
A classic server would be populated for the first few weeks, than it gets boring again because we already played that old stuff years ago......
- it won´t attract new players, the reason is obviously, why should someone start a game on a patch that is years old when he/she can start the actual patch? Maybe some old patches were better than the actual patch but a new AIOn player won´t know this, so there is no reason to start on a classic server. And on the actual patch the gap between veterans and newbies is already that big that most newbies test AION and quit it forever despite a classic server
Because the new players start on the classic and therefore do not lag behind that which they will never catch up with >Veterans in the current ones?
Because everyone starts with classic at zero?
Wrong. First is that new players (I mean really new players who haven´t played AION before) don´t even know that there is an actual live server AND a classic server for AION, majority of them would join the actual live server automatically because lack of knowledge. And tbh, if I was a completely new player and I want to test out AION, I would try the latest patch and not some old stuff on a so called classic server.
A classic server would never be for new players but for some veterans who are annoyed with actual patch and wish they could turn back time....
Second is that there will always be a gap between veterans and new players even on a classic server. A veteran that played the old patches on classic server for years will always have a big advantage to a complete new player, the veteran knows which class to pick, how to make fast kinah and fast progress and he knows the game mechanics, the new player don´t know all these things.....
Display MoreGameforge would be the only winner with a classic server like they are the only winner with EAS, old players make new accounts there and have to buy gold packs because playing without gold pack is pure cancer on every server, on live server, on EAS and on classic server. I have over 3 years premium time on my account, I sure won´t make an account on classic server and buy more premium time there.....
What?
You can now play on all servers without extra
Paying premium time for other servers.
Why should a new one need new/other time be countet for this account?
That is not logical ...
Wrong again. You can´t use your premium time of your main account on EAS and have to buy extra gold packs there (in my opinion one of the main reasons Gameforge released the EAS at all). Classic server would be the same as EAS, you have to make a new account there (just because your actual chars on the live server wouldn´t be compatible with the older patches on classic server) and so you have to buy new gold packs on classic server for your new account. Gameforge is a company that wants/needs to earn money or do you really think they would bring a classic server without the goal of earning new money with it?
