Classic Needs Reform

I don't think I need to remind you all that we had quite a bit already converted prior to certain people DELETING it all. Despite the randomness of what was completed, and what remained to be completed, that Classic would have been better than what we have now. :/

you could have done all the moon quests and the castle quest and the gnome quest and the crap in the gnome caves and the babord mines quest, the babord barrel quest with the conch shell, the babord inn quest, the dead hera quest, the zol's pub thingy

ALL COMPLETED

as opposed to the 0.3 quests classic has now

Just wondering, because when we were working on a ripoff of classic, I converted all the levels to .nw, then changed all the links with a mass find and replace text program, and I also removed the setimgpart thing that made npcs turn into a full pics1.png the same way, couldnt you fix the common problems in the find and replace text thing, mass replace them with working versions of the same thing?

If any of this makes sense?

I think they mean me, but I have a backup of all the levels so I dunno... anyway, this thread is based on opinions on what people really want. Theres facts which I'm tired of having to repeat as to why we simply can just put up the old content.

You're assuming that these problems are all going to be identical text-wise in every level. That's more than likely not going to be the case, so probably not.

To be honest, I don't know who it was, but that's not really important.

There are more than levels to a server, you know.

There's a great deal of factual information here as well, if you'd get out of your "my way is the only way" world for a moment to see it.

Theres facts

Yes, there are, just not the Storm-world facts.

as to why we simply can just put up the old content.

There's absolutely no reason it couldn't be put up. People still have the levels. People are still capable of converting them. I don't see the problem?
