But surely it's all relative? The rr10-12 groups can't go any higher, but those who are lower rr can. I admit that for perhaps a couple of months or so, things would be fairly even, but you're always going to have players who level/get higher in rr faster than others, due to how much time they play etc.

Within a few months there would be no difference on the Classic server, compared with existing servers. Then what would you do?

If you could use your existing chars on the classic server, at least you know you are already a good way to getting to rr10-12 yourself and you'll have a far better chance to compete in the long run, because you're already likely to be fairly well off, rr wise.

classic server will be a level playing feild for around i would say a maximum of 2 weeks. After that the guild groups / power gamer type peeps who have planned time of work or even dont have work (cough) the people who play regulary in a group have worked out already classes specs direction where to go when they create a character the name and specs of everyone in the group.

They probbly even have templates ready.

Now i say 2 weeks because thats how long it took me to get with unlimted funds legendary spellcrafter now i know that you can do it probbly faster but that is with unlimited funds and i would asume that even with a fresh classci server with say an entire guild providing funds towards dedicated crafters that it would take around 2 weeks to get peeps to lgm. By then people would have already been rvring and gaining advantage over the other people who arnt running opted groups.

You will get a lot of people doing this

the classic servers will be fair for around 2 to 3 weeks then the first guild groups will be running with rr5 abilitys while everyone else will be running with epic and be rr2 and 3 at the most. the rr5 guilds will soon tear away from the lower non active players and thne in about 6 months down the line we will see the gratz on rr8/rr9/rr10 posta appearing.

Personally im looking forward to the classic servers because after spending 6 months in toa its sort of put me off actually playing my character its like yay im ready for rvr woot im already bored.

Also classic will be fun for both new players and old alike people who have always looked to a third server to play a different realm can now do so and probbly meet other people mooching around.

As for the whole cluster issue, goa would not be able to cluster the servers and in the end who would want to play on a three tier cluster it would mean that as hibbehs you would be forced to roll hibernia on the cluster weather you liked to or not. Also there is the whole armour and toa abilitys and then you got 2 rvr zones, which one has precidence over darkness falls + all the battlegrounds.

There would be litterally no point in starting a new server on an existing cluster.

Just look forward to the cluster roll your new char meet new people then get farmed again when you finally make it into rvr (took me a week of playtime from lvl 1 with little gold to lvl 50 on vampire, a little bit longer on tic and about 2 months on valk)

powergamers will hit 50 within the first week and some epople even faster i like late night ranting i go on and on and on.

<and ill stop>

anywho gandy bad idea

Amen to what Awarkle said

Besides Gandelf, ML9 chanters and ML5 perfectors are quite a bonus in PvE, I doubt people want to feel like they need to do MLs to properly farm non-ToA stuff for non-ToA PvP

classic server is only non-toa so why do they call it clasic?
just giff classic server with no toa, no catacombs, no darkness rising and only keep SI.

To really split the economies, you would need items from the classic server only allowed in the classic server. This however eliminates the need for classic server chars to go on TOA server raids to non-TOA locations. In fact, it nearly completely eliminates the benefit of the cluster. The only advantage is that it is allows people to char transfer to the classic servers with their current chars. Classic chars would effectively be gimped on the TOA servers.

In any case, if they clustered the classic server with the English ones, there would be protests from the non-English servers ... the classic server is supposed to be for all languages.

end of the day, imo it's a totally crap idea and i don't thinik GoA have the brains or ability to do it.

If they did do it it would be RIDICULOUS!

Kinda negates the meaning of RR if you put everyone in his corner
