This was what I proposed before I had even become Manager, Master Storm had a Dev server but was not willing to commit to it at the time and then DarkCloud becoming involved in things really killed it off (planning and long-term was not his forte), by the time we wiped playercount had slumped to little more than nothing aswell, and keep in mind that it wasn't exactly hugely playable before beyond Events (assuming you're not talking about Old-Old Classic which I don't want to argue about).
The point was that it would be a step backwards that enables us to take atleast 2 steps forward, and I still believe we are on course, admittedly it's taking a while longer than initially hoped but considering both the timescale and execution that occured in the years after the introduction of the NPCserver i'd take what we have put together now as a Developer any day, and even if we were to have the privilege of another server being hosted for free (it's not something i'm willing to pay for) the distraction of maintaining the previous version of the server just isn't worth delaying the current server more.
