Maybe you understand why I want it back now?

Classic wasn't that great back then, though, admittedly. I do remember it was pretty fun the first couple of weeks questing with others and such... but the quests were terrible. They were either broken, or not fun. The only reason you did the quests were for the prizes. Afterwards, what did you really do? You hung around level14 or such. You looked for stuff to do with others. I don't remember doing much else back in those days other than interacting with others in one or two levels. Everything really revolved around the community.

Do you think if that was brought back, that same atmosphere would return? I highly doubt it. You can't really bring back what Graal offered back then, but there is a ton you can do to improve the crap that's there now. I can't even get into Classic right now even though I'm trying because the hit-detection is so damn bad. There's also one very important factor that we just can't revive -- the fact Graal was free back then. Standards were pretty low back then, because... well, Graal was free. Who were we to complain?

My theory is to take the server when it was at its peak, convert it, then to treat it like it was being treated back then -- just adding on and improving what is there. Instead of revamping the whole overworld, add and fix it up. Also, I'd like to see the old quests changed in odd ways and such so that they're familiar, yet completely new. Remove a lot of the nobody playerhouses and let new players fill them in. Treat the server like a server in need of expanding instead of changing.
