Dear all,
I'm amongst those players that liked the hardcoreness of DAoC in the early 2000's with a super slow pace, no currency but seals and gold, etc. At present we already have an excellently handled server that content most players with tons of QoL and super fast xp. Players enjoy easily-accessible SC(s) and focus on PvP shortly after creating a toon. Old folks (a great % of us here) are thankful for that as it is for the least practical and time-saving.
I don't think I've seen the proposition yet, at least not in recent threads, so here is my suggestion :
There's another community of players, arguably much smaller, who wouldn't mind an old-time like server with basically no xp multiplier, no bonus, no new currency, no advantageous randomly generated items, etc. That next-door community (must have heard of it) typically is interested in that setup (just pointing out there is a demand, numbers aside).
Would it be conceivable to have a separate server in a classic setup (Classic + SI) with just a few QoLs (tp, horses, etc.) and nothing else (no follow-up adjustments apart from track issues obviously). Perhaps that could be the answer too for people divided on the OF/NF topic. Also stating I dare to ask because I'm fond of the dev team here doing amazing work, for 1 server currently why not 2!
What do you say? (arguments for and against it) I'm naively asking in that I have no clue what the cost / efforts of such task require so please elaborate as much as you can.
Thanks in advance
