There is no way this was their vision. I have good equipment. I am content. I just look around and I see a lot of very dejected people top to bottom. The loudest voices on the forums are those who are content and are most active in game. To be real honest, who is really playing this game with TMO? Would it really matter if no one else was here? Look at Nihilum on R99. Is there really a difference between the two?

I get it. Nilbog and Rogean said they have no interest in expanding. There is enough work to be done and expanding would just be another step towards this being a job more than a hobby. This project has been a labor of love and we have reaped the benefits of that labor. I am trying my best to express my appreciation without sounding ungrateful.

They have both built an amazing community. People are showing up 4 years later to enjoy what they have made and more are showing up everyday. People want to give back, people want to help in anyway they can. But people want a chance, an opportunity to enjoy it the way you intended them to.

The main question in my original post is what would it take? More population? A specific amount of $? More GMs? More assistance with development?

That was 2 years ago. A lot has changed in 2 years.

Both of those posts I quoted were less than a month old. Not 2 years ago.

It will not take anything. The devs have no desire to take on a new server right now. You can offer money, population, GMs, blowjobs, etc. There is nothing holding them back except a lack of desire to do it.

You are absolutely right... ugh. I viewed them on my phone while I was out before I thought I saw it say 2011.

Make a post asking when Velious is coming out. That thread topic is about as beaten to death as this one.

I'll pass on that... That's a matter of impatience.. That will happen when it's ready.

This would be amazing, but I don't blame the devs/staff for not wanting to sink even more resources into this.

I would play on it though [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

All the peeps that keep saying they would like a new server to get a crack at a Guise or Manastone, really, thats the attitude that is prevalent in the server now. Everyone wants leet drops, but if thats all you want, then theres no point in making a new server, because like peeps have said its just going to be a clone of what we have now.

I would like a new server with new rules for raiding, to make it more fair, also make over camped mobs more rare, to limit MQ camping or to discourage it. Still there will always be something to bitch about. Then again we can just enjoy this free game, and let the Plat Overlords have their fake money.

Again, people would have to start and advance without NON CLASSIC gear, features, and mechanics. IMO, GAME BREAKING mechanics like permanently charmed pets, revamped dot stacking rules, root and snare stacking, etc etc etc. And not being able to box, RMT (they are better at catching that now), or sell accounts. The damage those things did and do to the server economy are irreparable and simply nerfing things and making new policies doesn't undo the damage done retroactively.

It has nothing to do with "leet drops" but a clean fresh start in the actual, or closer at least, classic environment we have now after almost 4 years of development and experience of the server staff. The people who camped those "leet drops" and who got to the top first, did so in a NON CLASSIC environment with NON CLASSIC mechanics and many of them CHEATED because it wasn't as easy to get caught then. It's not about drops.
