In classic there was hidden stuff (like AC in Sro, Pyzjn in Q Hills etc) and they were a source of speculation, wild, sometimes retarded theories.
While its a bit late for this server, do you think in restrospect they ought to have been re-done after the dev spilled the beans on them. Should stuff that was never released to the public in Velious (if anything) but was later released to the public be redone?
I was just helping someone spawn pyzjn, n it was way easier, pretty unexciting compared to old days and I imagine AC will be pretty boring too now I think.
Its not really classic when you know stuff that makes it not play like classic, thoughts?

Obviously, this game would be funner if I hadn't already played it off/on over the past 13 years.
But if I was younger I probably wouldn't be attracted to its graphics or its roughness. Modern MMORPGs are very crisp and orderly things. WoW/SWTOR are super shiny and well built things by comparison.
I can play an old game and have fun. But I'm 34. Younger peeps might get bored.
I just got done playing Wizardry 7, for example. Not impressed with it. I hate save/load gameplay. But that shows you how far back I'll go. It was released in 1992! I look at games as art. Not just entertainment.
Games are stories. They're animate paintings. They're unique moments. They're more than just what we do for fun. They can be philosiphical or spiritual, even. It depends on your perspective. If you go into it thinking it's just a game then you're not investing your soul into it. Without the soul, things lose luster. I go into a game with the notion that it's made by artists. My soul is called at times to give me counsel.
Games are only as good as the soul we put into them. Just like any art.
