Elrandhir already said much of this, but you're making a jump in logic which isn't supported by the facts. Mythic and GOA are introducing new server types because different people want different things out of the game. Some people like TOA, some people don't, and introducing new server types gives people the freedom to chose how they want to play. I enjoy TOA so I'll be staying where I am, but I'm glad the new servers are being introduced so other people can do as they like.

Will Darkness Rising expansion be applied to the classic servers? ie can folks just do the upgraded epics/champion level stuff and therefore get a reasonably useful set of kit to play with?

ARS (= Alternative Rule Set) server means no access to ToA and no access to buffs out of group and more than 5000 units away from the buffing character. Everything else will still be in place, including SI, Catacombs and of course Darkness Rising when it's released as far as I know.

It'll be fun!

:mojo:

Don't forget the vnboards whine about how people wanted cure ns on classic. It was funny, well, still is.

All along, players have been saying that the game was developing in ways that were not fitting to the original concept of the game.... it finally looks like their voice has been heard... for once, I am happy!

dont know why anyone would be that excited about it. its really not that good and with access to SI/Catacombs anyway its nothing like what classic was.

Yeah and with darkness rising it will be pretty much like it was with toa. Only that you don't have mls (which are easy to do anyway) so no cure ns, grp cure dis, fop.

Game isn't balanced around toa utility weapons without those abilities.

I'm guessing it will go down the camlann way, it will be full with people for a while, then a 50% population drop, then it becomes smaller and smaller until it's unplayable.

no buffbots sounds good to me though

but that's probably because I'm the only one without a BB oO

There isn't any point rolling on a classic server if you have a ToA'd char, and everyone now has a ToA'd char, would just be a waste of time, the game will be mildly different.
