Add to that the whole division was in complete chaos, there was no communication with any other person so it took weeks instead of days to complete simple projects. I'll even take part of the blame, I spent all these years criticizing the teams without really offering my abilities to help out (the times I held a position, I was in it merely to work on my own projects, and I'd submit my scraps as work).
Right now they've got someone in place who is actually doing something for a change. I've talked to Thor on a few issues, and he and whoever is on his team seems to be willing to reach a middle ground between the newbies asking for new content, and the oldbies demanding everything be left how it was. Hell, he is even open to player created quests (or thats what I was lead to believe) which I'm willing to do. If you feel Classic has been wronged, why don't you get off your collective asses and work on something to help redeem the server?

You have got to be kidding. The two people who have posted in this thread above you are players of the server and have been regular and consistent players for years. They have stuck through the crap, unlike the rest of you older players who come in every couple of months and decide to give your opinion. These people are players, not developers and as far as I know they have no development capabilities nor should they need them. The point of the thread was pretty obviously outlining the regression within recent years alone. It really has little to do with Massokre or Hell Raven, because these players played through those times and it isn't built up angst originating from those ex staff members. They've got someone in who is doing something? Yeah, regressing it more and adding crappy replacements or incentives to log on.
Within nearly a year we've had two quests, bowling, a new hit detection, and the recently added map system. We had the hearts already, we had the Knife of Fiends already, so all we really gained out of the exhausting content was the hammer, which was scripted back when Massokre was around. We had a hit detection, but now because it has completely changed the regulars can't enjoy the regular activities they did and it really is not a case of adjusting. Bowling was terribly made and I've already explained that, and the map system is something that is terribly easy to do, so really what is positively coming out of this? It's pretty much all regression of content like what was said in the opening post.
Players should not have to develop to enjoy the activities they were doing for years while the staff teams ****ed around, they should be playing with consistency.
