Well, Everyone seems to think 1.81 is going to kill the classic servers.

Toa becomes alot easier and therfore more people have it...

Now im all for 1.81, but this has never been discussed. ( i dont think ;x )

May it not force more players away ? People who have toa'd a char before and spent ages, people are getting it easy mode.

Will it also be more annoying for others who hate the effect toa had, More people will be running around ml 10 , and nice template etc.

Dont flame this thread, If you have the urge to post something shite, Click the back browser and choose another thread.

Discuss etc. :)

I hope it'll be the end of classic..coz they s00k(personal oppinion) ToA > gay servers!(read: classic)

Sorry :( tried to be constructive, but when classic servers fukc up normal servers the way it has I cant help it...and yea ppl will come back etc...but till then, theyre boring as hell.

Most players on classic arent from the cluster for one.

Secondly, a lot are ex-daoc players who left when ToA came out, and won't play ToA regardles of the patch.

You still have to do ml's (pve)

You still have to farm scrolls (pve)

You still have to level arti's (pve)

Lot of players hate the PvE endless levelling aspect of ToA rather than the difficulty and hostility of getting arti's regardless of how much easier they make it.

I'm sure it will help balance the servers a bit, but i doubt it will kill the classic servers.

imo classic is for people who can't manage to play daoc how it was designed...

yeah, you've still got to do PvE to get a toon TOAed and as OPed as most othered, but how the hell you expecting to get to level 50 on classic servers ?? like to see you manage that without any PvE tbh :p

Who honestly cares? Im suprised anyones even taking the classic server seriously.

Its just a playground for albs to get a taste of easymode in with warlock alts.

Personally I dont like Classic server. I would have hoped they excluded catacombs as well, and included OF. That would imo be a classic server.

I have a feeling Excal/pryd will get the many of the players back. First people will come back when DR releases, then another load will come back with 1.81.

When cluster came, there was alot of activity on both pryd/excal. Then Classic comes, ofc there will be alot of activity on that. People enjoy to explore the new features/changes of the game, but like a 6-year old, it usually wears off when theres something new released ;)

fuckin god almighty will somone trip over the power cord for the classic server so we cant have at least one night before xmas with a decent amount of people in rvr. stupid pissing idea in the first place, classic server with NF/Current RA/cata classes, oh so classic. go mythic! you rock my world!!

i genuinely hope 1.81 kills classic, just to show what happens when you take a good idea and give it to the wrong people.

I hope that 1.81 will blast that classic server to hell with only 2 ppl on each realm primetime and I hope that ToA easymode will bring the game back to the "SI days-state" where there wasnt all that STUPID, irritating pve grind



:) (ahh, that felt good!)

i made a char on the classic server but imo the original server is still the best to play on, it has the full aspect of the game and much more to offer for you to do. You have the option of doing mls, getting the best equipment, crafting, and soon more things will be available with DR coming to us.

ive not fully toa'd my chars and i dotn have the time too, but with the new patch i now will have that time to get the mls done on my chars etc. Not everyone had the spare time to play on seperate servers, i sure dont i only made a char on the classic server because i was bored and i wanted to see what the hype was about. and i wanted to test the hibby classes out :p

what would you choose? taking a cap arti 1 time and level it to 10 in like 1-10h (will be like 1h in 1.81) or go dark spire like 50+ times to get the few items with cap in and then if it drops you will have random it.. what is more fun??

First of all. It was the vnboards ppl that named it "Classic". Mythic´s name was simply "Alternate ruleset".

It was the yankies that was going on and on about calling it classic server so Mythic just went along and named it that instead.

Second of all. There are lots of ppl that play classic server for the simple reason that ToA with their MLs and artifacts just screw things up.

If im not wrong, i heard ML's gonna be hell easier.

Some guy had farmed 10 Love Story 3o3 with a grp of 5 in 30 mins.

And all artis gonna be as easy as CB to lvl.

Apart from having a limit on bb range and being able to enter Catacombs, classic IS how the game was designed before TOA was released :p

I loved the idea of a classic server. But then they were doing DR and catas on classic server and you still have the shty ToA bonuses and the hardass templates to make, so f*ck that and back to ToA server. I honestly don't really give a sht if grapple and BG and banelords are there, the only thing i wanted was to not have to PvE for a month to be able to do some RvR, but now i have to do that anyways, so classic is same old sht imo. Don't really see why people bother.

Oh, and when 1.81 hits, it's still gonna be the same sht to make ToA templates. People will simply ToA more alts, and the hard part will become the items, RoG's and static drops will be worth 10 times what they are today. So not like it makes a difference. Statics are even worse to get than artifacts.

Did you even read 1.81?
- all scrolls are common
- artis lvl faster and everywhere

Are you even on Classic?
You'll have to PvE up to 50 as there is no PL.
Goodbye ToA but hello PvE Darkspire runs ad infinitum.
Have you leveled your crafters yet or are you PvE'ing cash to buy your stuff?
