Yeah, but not everyone cares what everyone else wants. I rather want to be left alone to eat tacos and dream of the future in peace, but sometimes it just ain't in the cards. Not a month goes by without someone bugging me to nuke the extant leadership of Classic and "just bring back all the fun clientside stuff", as if G2K0 wasn't a lesson in the futility of that theory - if only it had been the right version! And if only the staff had uploaded the RIGHT improvements!

But I digress. Territory would be a way of keeping score, and a way of keeping score gives something to do, and something to do is necessary, as Classic was once a game based on "do all the quests" and right now it's got all of two quests. One of which relies on single-tile offset block puzzles, which I've never found particularly clever. So it needs Something to do. Exploration requires levels and hidden points of interest, PKing requires a playercount, Sparring requires someone to care about Sparring, Minigames requires a deep knowledge of the scripting language - even bringing back Bowling would require more hours of development at this point than it'd provide hours of gameplay. But defending territory, that's easy to script and self-motivating - as long as there's a single player with the Pirate hat on going through Avalon taking over the houses, there's work to be done when you log back on.
