Goa are handling a poll to send to Mythic. (must be sent in by Monday)
Friday News wrote:
· I do not wish to answer this question
· Homeland Invasion : Standard RvR rules, but you can invade enemy Realm's homelands for total server domination. New character stats track successful raids into the enemy homelands, after one realm is victorious.
· Battleground Server : PvE available only in the Classic lands, and there are no expansion zones. There are no Frontiers. Battlegrounds are accessible from Capital cities with increased RvR XP. Equipment is available for Bounty Point purchase.
· Evolution Server : All old classes removed. Instead, there would be eight redesigned and rebalanced classes per Realm, for a total of 24. This server would also feature a redesigned and rebalanced combat system (including a redesigned style system, slower combat pacing, different crowd control options, and a more forgiving spell/interrupt system), and other RvR tweaks.
· I do not want any new server types.
Hmm, I wonder if Mythic's new policy is a flood of new server types since they did reasonably well with the classic servers. With clustering, the effect could be to move all the playerbase to the new servers = more leveling up time. This bodes badly for the Euro English since old servers can't be clusters more than they already are (well will be :) ).

Interesting is the evolution one, a redesign of all the classes. I assume that they would still call some of the classes the same. I wonder if that would be a test server for new rules for warhammer. If not, it is hard to come up with one set of game rules rather than trying to come up with 2 new sets.

didnt xest say people were naffed off as the classic server didnt get many votes but they implimented it anyway?

maybe this is a way of saying 'well we wanted the classic server but if you vote for this one - you might actually get it this time'

Bet evolouton will win :p
then all they will do is pick two classes from that to add to the next expansion :p

Can only hope they stop releasing expansions which we have to pay with money and lifetime :D

/clap to Lothandar. I can only agree with this point of view. We need a break from expansions for a while, and this poll seems to point at where they want to go next, I just hope they don't release another expansion to implement server type changes like those mentioned in the poll. I voted for invasion server, like last time. The vote for it last time was quite popular but I guess that kind of defeats the object of Camlann in a way :(

Evolution sounds interesting. I'd only really be keen on it if it had no ToA though.

A lot of people on US are saying Evolution might be a way of bringing in DAoC 2 by the back door. I don't know about that really , as they aren't changing the engine or game mechanics as far as I understand it.

Personally I'm very happy with non-toa classic, and unless they bring it onto Euro I will continue playing Gareth from now on I think.
