Everyone has a different idea of what is and isn't "classic." And this is understandable because every few days post-release there was a big patch that changed the game in some way. So one person's "classic" includes horrible bugs and exploits, another guy recognizes those bugs as such, but only regards "classic" as existing between patches 3 and 5... etc. And of course you have the cognitive dissonance of people who want all the stuff that made their chosen class powerful, with none of the limitations that hinder them. "Classic is only the stuff that helped me"

Lmao. Too true. Personally, I don't really care whether we went classic or not, but I do think it should ideally be 100% one way or the other rather than the selectively classic experience we have today.

Collectivist scum.

Watch the video on home page.
Classic as nothing to do with patches, bugs, exploits, fix, etc.

It refers to the period between launch and velious era (included)
The game we all lived to play.

Bugs and fixes are just that, completly irrelevent in the experience.

The devs intentions were good. The community's? That's subject to debate.

The most important parts of P99 are:

1. Effective anti-cheat systems
2. Single-boxing enforcement
3. Large population

Classic is kind of boring, and I'd personally prefer if the staff released custom content in the future instead of locking the server into classic releases. P99 is fun and well run though.

The idea of it all is great. Spawns need to be turned up 100x to make the game fun. Sitting for 10 minutes and killing a few mobs then sitting because 7 groups are camping the same thing as you gets old.

What level are you? After the first few levels I have had no issues finding things to kill

I don't care whether the project is truly "classic" or not. That doesn't matter. I care that my experience and perception of the gameplay is as close to it was during the classic period as possible. This necessitates certain changes that are not classic, because we as players are not our classic selves.

The argument of whether XYZ is classic or not is entirely irrelevant. The devs do not care, as is clearly shown by their decisions. That's a good thing, imo, and I'm glad they have continued to make choices that are not always popular. The success of this project should demonstrate to all of us that a measure of faith in the devs is surely not unwarranted.

"Classic Experience" - those two words mean a lot of different things to a lot of different people. For some, that means removing a lot barriers, like hybrid xp penalties while keeping the world limited. For others, it means bring back every exploit they missed out on. We all have ideas on what we want, some are just happy to be here. Lots of ways to skin a Kerran.

End of the day, we all here on the forums and in game because we are passionate for what we have here. We want the best version of the game. And if some folks are a little ragey about it, well, at least we have god for that in game.

the true classic experience is pvp with item loot.

just sayin'

As a regular cheater since live days:

1. Anti cheat systems - not classic
2. Single box enforcement - not classic
3. Large (current Green population) - not classic

3 I have my doubts about. I wasn't there, but every account I've read tells me the game was much more popular than expected from the start, and servers were pretty crowded.

Indecision and circular arguments are classic because they are classic, I think.

Not being sure of the above statement is also classic.
