• • ... and if it was LA the culprit?

    Someone at SOE said they could technically do CU servers, but could not technically do Pre-Cu (Lorin Jameson I believe, according to another recent thread, apologies if I've mispelled that).

     

    I suspect that "technically" has to do with RoTW and ToOW being designed for a level-based game, ie.  the CU. Given talented developers (which is not at all a "given" at SOE), I don't doubt that they could have been adapted to pre-CU, but it would take a lot more effort. So a real Classic server would either require a lot more work to fully implement, or have to leave out 2 of 3 game expansions. I do wonder just how hard it would really be to convert their "angry bag o' level" mobs into well-rounded pre-CU mobs. A certain amount of cookie-cutter-ism in the results would be fine with me.

• • what is Pre-CU

  • /nitpick ON

    That should be "troup", not "troop". Same pronunciation, and in fact derived from "troop", but different now.

    /nitpick OFF

    Dont worry it will be back but not by soe. I cant give you anymore info then that. Dont want to get banned and all that.

     

    One of the stickies at the top of this forum, and the Veteran's Refuge, contain the relevant subject. The owners of this site really REALLY don't want this matter discussed.

    Actually if SOE really cared about money they would roll back to Pre-CU, since they do not it shows they care more about the current subscriber then ever before in game.

     

    I agree, and since I don't subscribe to the "it's pride pride all about pride!" view (at least on SOE's part, since I think they really are "all about the money"), this is one of the strongest underpinnings to my belief that such a decision is completely out of SOE's hands. They couldn't (ie. are not allowed to) do a roll-back or classic server if they wanted to.

    I'll take the flaws of pre-CU over the flaws for CU and NGE in a heartbeat, any day of the week and twice on Sunday.
