A Request.

Hi, I'm going to be brief here in this request.
Here goes:

What would it take for a new server to be opened called Retro-Hostile? It would use the CR1 combat system and would have no events on it but everyone with a character on one of the other servers would have a chance to do the good ol' /copychar to this server and roll with the Retro vibe of CR1. Now this would first bring back a lot of old players to the game (who we all know left because of not being able to do the GOD pvp anymore) and no I wasn't referring to the exploiting which would result in a prompt ban to the CR1 server, and now where would the fun in that be?

I simply had to post this idea after I talked with the Mara Vectorites this night who would love to see such a thing happen... and they have friends who would love to see this happen too.


Another argument would be that now all the animations are fixed so less bugs! Yay for Rarebit's dedication as always in getting that solved!


I never got to be 50 in CR1 either so that's my personal reason

GREAT idea but it wont ever happen.  There were big bugs present in the first Combat system (Why do people call it Combat Revision 1) which would still be there IF this thing was even taken seriously.  The fact that we have few devs as it is, and no server that could hold this also hinder this idea.  Time and effort can be well spent doing other things.  I am not knocking your idea, I in fact loved the first combat system we had, but I am just being realistic....  Sorry to burst your bubble but I doubt very much this will leave the dreaming stages...


Just my 2 cents..


Machete

Like Machete said, I doubt they could do this
I too, was a big fan of the original combat system, but time swiftly moves I guess..
I'd love to see this happening as well, but I don't see it...
Keep dreaming though, who knows, it MAY just happen sometime...
Anything's possible...

Now it's out there as an idea, anyway. I believe!

Exactly, even if it doesn't happen you know you've tried! I support this idea *thumbsup*

ehh, I liked the old combat but I'd much rather have other things worked on than this.

MxOSim. Nuff said.

All MxO Sim projects have either been abandoned or stopped because the source code they are using is either outdated, incomplete, or not enough people dedicated to reverse engineer the code.  So the dream still remains just that... A Dream...

it wouldnt take much for it to happen thoe. They should still have the hardware sitting around somewhere for the test server, and I'd be baffled if they didnt have archived copies of all previous game updates released so if they had to they could roll the patches back. So all it would really be a question of is setting the server up, patching it to the last patch right before CR2, and then adjusting the code for the test server launcher to connect/patch to the CR1 server. And that should be fairly simple. Probably take less than a week to set up.

They've already said multiple times that what's left of the test server isn't worth much. It got salvaged for parts.

I support this idea
