[Inspiration]

The server held 3 elements really back then

PKing
Sparring
Hanging out/community

Two of three are practically dead there. People only log on because it is where their friends play.


Classic will not be able to attract new players very easy unless:

A) It has simple, easy quests
B) It becomes trial-friendly
C) It has something that makes it different, in a positive way


UN, N-Pulse, and Delteria already are "traditional" graal servers. These servers are, currently, 10x more likely to attract a new player that enjoys that style of server.

Becoming just another UN/Delt/N-Pulse will not give classic a unique advantage over anything. The most likely result of such an action would not be a gaining of new players, but a loss of old ones.

Classic should be Classic. It should play and look as close to Pre-P2P graal as possible.

At the worst, the player count would not change. At the best, older players would be happy again that their server was restored, and new players would be interested in seeing the original server and learning the history.

You're not working with a 100+ player server anymore. The PKing and sparring won't be as popular as the bigger servers. They can't be counted on.

Quests are a one time thing, that most people do not enjoy doing. Normally they are not an attraction to a server. Certainlly not a reason to play a server, if presented in a normal fashion.

What classic has going for it, is its community of people who are very close, and its events.

Throwing some halfassed new levels, quests, and NPCs onto the server will achieve nothing but a destruction of what the servers name is supposed to imply.
