I started to play on this server becuz for ME, the Classic experience was Classic/Kunark/Velious. So it sounded like a great idea.
HOWEVER - now that I have time invested in my character and I'm realizing how much BETTER this server is compared to Live, I'm starting to look at Velious as *shit....now what?*.
I like this community, I like the server, and I even like the Devs/GMs and how they handle things here.
Ya, it's 2 years from now, and who knows what will happen between now and then. But I think the issue is - some people grow attached to their toons and would like to know there are "options" out there OTHER than "start an alt, play another server".
I think the reason why so many people are attached to the whole Velious cut off is becuz most people agree that Luclin is where the game started to change for the worse, and PoP is what killed it.
If there was a way to implement Luclin/PoP with custom features that follow a more "classic" atmosphere - would those same people still be anti-Luclin/PoP?
THAT'S the question people should ask themselves:
If you had the opportunity to right the wrongs in Luclin/PoP - would you implement those expansions on this server?
People who say "No becuz it's not CLASSIC" are treating the discussion as if everyone else is a toddler and they are a parent ("becuz I said so!").
Many people consider Classic thru PoP to be "Classic".
The reason why PoP would be a good cutoff is because it is a HUGE timesink that would take a long time to break thru. Kunark/Velious content will easily be trivialized - just like it is now - and certain mobs/zones will be poopsocked - just like it is now.
