Fewer quakes and impact on server population

If they don't plan on releasing another fresh server I think they should just add rotating Legacy content on the original release schedule meaning players given time will have another go at Firepots, Guise, Manastone, Beads and even Warder Loot. Sure, not exactly Classic but like you say, neither is 5 years of Velious. I think it would motivate players to return and start up more alts as well.

Whilst fresh may seem enticing it's also somewhat of a pain. On green people were struggling to find free camps just to kill a single mob every 6-12 minutes on repeat. The XP is crawling, many abilities are missing and class XP penalties are brutal.

Yeah I could see them resetting sleeper's tomb every 2 years or whatever the original timeline is but that would probably be fun for like 1 day.

Cycling legacy content would be interesting, or making a quest for the more popular ones and making them no drop.

I think AAs is a bad idea (they'd never do it anyway) because it would further trivialize the actual content. Everyone is complaining about lack of grouping due to solo twinks, this will only make things worse. Honestly though, if you want non classic changes or new content I think people are just on the wrong server for that.

They made teal last time due to the overwhelming popularity of green at release, pretty sure they'd do the same this time around.

But honestly, they're already swamped with like 20 000+ petitions, I'm not sure they're ready for a new server on that front. Although 50% of those petitions are probably Salaryman asking why kelorek'dar drops 2 swords and no shield.

You could see them doing something they haven't ever done or even entertained the idea of? Great!

There is a fundamental flaw at the heart of this project. They want a 100% classic server ...but not really. Rooted dragons, nerfed recharge cost, nerfed life tap, quakes, and most importantly, the most important thing about this server that differentiates it beyond all others:

Velious locked for 9 years and counting.

Also, the server gets locked into metas that are completely devoid of CSR intervention through lack of developer support creating staleness for the end game.

We constantly post here and on the discords about what the developers could do to make the server more fun and bring old and new players back to the server.

But Nilbog and Rogean just don't want that. They don't want lures to their server. They don't want custom content or future expansions. I think it's tragic but that's the way it is.

I'm not a classic absolutist but stuff I suggested would somewhat remain in the spirit of classic. If you think they won't even bother with that why suggest adding new zones/mobs/AA when it clearly goes beyond the scope of the server's goal?
