SoE is missing money

[fastboy21]

I happen to agree with most everyone here...the logic is so simple, how can SOE not realize that they are missing an easy and simple cash cow by opening up a single classic server.

I've gone to FF almost every year and spent quite a bit of time talking to various devs and other SOE ppl...the answer the last few years has varied, but here is what they tell me when I ask them about another progression or a purely classic server:

1. we've really talked about doing it, and it may actually happen at some point.

OR

2. even though we know there are some people who would come back to play classic we think that it would cause damage to our regular live game---which is where, as of now, we believe our future lies. SOE still believes that EQ has a future and the that the regular live servers are the target they need to invest in. Special ruleset servers aren't being ruled out, but they aren't a priority...as of now.
