I was wondering when this would come up. I knew it would, every excuse under the sun needs to be used before blame gets turned back on those really responsible, the griefers and anti-social nerds who drove away half of that 600 initial release with their random pking, bind camping, griefing,etc.
But anyways, we are not even out of classic yet and already its about "the ancients have too much an advantage!" .. yeah ok.
Either play or dont play. None of you will ever have another legit classic red server again in our life times. Play, or MOVE ON.
No one, least of all Nilbog/rogean, is going to send you flowers in the mail and beg you to play.

Did you understand where i was getting at with the ancients though? Im an ancient. It means if i roll an alt i can twink it to hell.
The problem with ancients is that they will never, ever lose gear. They will win 90% of 1 vs 1 fights vs new blood. New blood will lose xp, over and over. This will make the server bleed population.
Solution is to put in sets of no drop gear, the kind that was patched in 2001 with the halloween event. So people either roll around naked, with gear they can afford to lose, or take the time to build up a no drop set that gives them at least a chance vs twinks.
Noobs who defeat a twink, maybe by grouping up 3v1 (which gives them something to look forward to) will have a chance to loot a nice piece of gear. They will now decide if they want to wear this piece or trade it for plats to buy say, sow pots to quad.
This will reinvigorate the economy, making people buy and sell again, make pvp interesting again.
And for the finale, of course, remove xp loss and bring the Rallos way of dying which was low health no mana.
This is how i think you could revitalize the server.
Launch Kunark with this and id bet 1000$ that wed see numbers again.
