Magically

Option 1. For months since the X-Legends announcement for the game, their staff had shown lingering signs of being unprofessional with the community. Even up until the launch, we were left in the shadows when it came to what exactly we were to expect from their server, and their launch date just confirms why they left us clueless. The game is basically just where FNO left off at in 2017 or so content wise, with a level cap of 40 slapped on it. Not including the fact that you can still access areas that should realistically be restricted. There was also several things that was/is broken on their server, of a game that's been around since 2010... And don't get me started on the Cash Shop. The conversion rates are absolutely horrid for anyone that wants to spend, and the Crystal Altar is just a scam. Battlemounts being purchasable, Astral Pathway being activated, Archive Bonus existing, and several other factors scream P2W, even for a spender. Also, their "emergency maintenance" did not address all the issues, and players who abused bugs were not banned. While the population is still high right now, I believe that it'll crash once the Steam release hit, as Steam players will be more critical, and more gaming journalists and YouTubers will thrash on the game even more. I've had mixed feelings for VGN for a long time now, due my own personal experiences, but I'm putting that aside because I frankly just want to play on an EE Classic server that won't die within months. I have made several friends waiting for the XL server, as well as playing with them currently. If VGN was to reopen, now would definitely be the time. Give X-Legends the finger, and show them how an actual server, made for the players, can prosper. You have our support. Jordan is the most skilled developer I've seen from any Eden Eternal private server, and quite frankly even the official server, lmao. I hope you consider, even though it might feel like a backstab to those who invested quite a bit into Classic v1. I would suggest possibly doing something special for the original players, or maybe letting them keep their cosmetics. It would help with player retention a bit. Please listen to your community, (not with every suggestion, but at least understand where we would be coming from with suggestions). Peace.
