After the survey you participated in last month, we decided to open a "Classic" server in Europe. Considering the number of interested players and their language, we chose to open a server in English which will be more likely to gather players from all places. We keep on examining the results in order to determine the number of servers that will be launched, as it is possible that there might be one or two. This decision, as well as the date of release, will be communicated to you as soon as all the elements are implemented.

I am looking forward tremendously to this server.

Also, I don't know about you, but the fact that Mythic (and subseqently GOA) have decided to introduce "Classic" servers, suggests only thing... that ToA was a mistake. Why else would they introduce new servers without ToA? Obviously, thousands of players have told Mythic they don't like ToA... there is no other reason. If players were happy with ToA, then Classic servers would not have been introduced.

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! :)

I can't wait to see all the people who roll casters waiting for power and complaining that they don't have FoP.

It'll be fun!

Instead of 2 weeks in TOA you spend 2 weeks in Darkspire

Fun

True, but it's not returning to Classic DAoC as it was 3 years ago, but as DAoC is now without ToA. So, we will still have all the new races etc, but no Atlantis.

I've often heard players complain that ToA artefacts have created problems, so really a Classic server would restore the game to how it used to be just after SI and before ToA. There will be no ML rushes, which will mean more players in the Frontiers, more players in the towns and cities, crafters feeling "wanted" again etc. etc.

Battles are over in RvR so quickly these days... it used to be so much more fun when they lasted ages, with realms slogging it out on the battlefield.

The Classic server will be good, I've no doubt about that.

been said enough, bad idea. Last thing we need is to split up the community as it is and this new server is going to achieve that.

And i hardly think toa was a problem, my brother bought the game 1 week ago he is now lvl50 without plvl has a full sc suit and is 2 out of 6 arti's short of completely his template. And he works 40 hours a week so do the maths.

oh and from what i hear if u do go to classic and don't go hib, look out for vamps since they are by far the deadliest class in the whole server
