Old Classic Server?

[Tyhm]

In order for it to be a proper recreation, a really proper one, the levels would have to stay just like this for a full year while Stefan works on 1.28...then the levels change radically, Captain USA appears and the GOPD, Olorin forms the LAT (Gee, we could probably even get the original Olorin if he's got the temps libres...^_~), there's a sudden massive hacker crackdown, the JF fight the Pachukites, and eventually playerhouses are accepted by one person when and if he's in the mood, then that's relegated to Nightlord who takes a month to reply to such requests incredulously...
I went way off track, but perhaps the relative future of a server is important. In 1998, people believed they would be able to upload stuff, that eventually there would be staff and hacking would be outlawed. The two sides of this are that on the one hand, if that ever happens it ceases to be Graal1998 and becomes Parallel Classic - not even Graal Perpetually Five Years Behind, as the tech used on Classic would be available on G1998...on the other hand, if people know G1998 is temporary and immutable, they don't aspire to new things and a better world.

*shrugs* In a project like this there are no easy choices.
