I suggest Graal comes up with its own new original idea and maybe we can have a better time.

But Graal
did begin as a rip of A Link to the Past (as much as it appears Stefan dislikes people saying this now), and that is where the term "Classic Style Server" originates from, the new Classic server is alot more on these lines than compared to pre-wipe, I believe the staff of Delteria aswell as MrOmega with Varia can boast of being on these lines too, it's not a matter of something now out-dated evolving into something of a higher level, it's more to do with circumstances such as less of the modern generation having played LTTP, the fact that these old servers happened to go downhill (for many different reasons) and that as a result of Graal Development becoming more sophisticated and the Dev-Pool being significantly lower there are much less Developers capable of creating content of this style to a high enough standard.

no one gives half a **** about "quests", quests were maybe 2% of the experience while the rest was what players on are mostly doing.

I'm not actually saying that Classic Servers are all about Quests, but originally Quests did happen to be the thing that attracted the majority of players (by providing a sense of direction and purpose) who eventually mixed in with the community and participated in such things as PKing and Sparring, even if they weren't the main reason they remained playing the game.
