Ares described what 50 percent of the playercount does, except it's only for CTF. (Not saying that there isnt a reason)

What's your point?

That a server based solely on events is doomed to fail because the entire playercount logs on for only an hour or two at a time?

The key to a good server is balance between quests, events, sparring/pking, and extra activities (cards, jobs, holiday events, etc.)

Whether or not Classic can achieve that (and in a timely fashion,) is the big question.

just have an open world like the original and expand from that during the time it's online.

It wasn't THIS hard to expand and develop classic prior 2004-2005. Current classic staff aim too high and then just loose interest because it takes too much time.

Just aim low and add a little at a time. You don't have to make the project a mastodont when it pre npc-server was always a work in progress were things were added whenever. Old classic was fun to explore post 2004 classic was just boring to explore. Gah!!

Gladius summed it up though I probably should of said it in past tense.

Going along with what Umat had said; I believe that we should aim to a level where we should be able to keep at least more than a couple dozen players. After we have a player count we can start to expand. We need to set a standard, and stay on that standard. If we aim for a high number of players and get a low number, we've messed up. The same is true to the opposite of that. If we aim low and get a high, we've messed up. When we successfully make the standard, we add on and our standard changes.
