Classic Server Reset

[Pudim]

As the title says, the subject here is the possibility of resetting the actual classic server keeping the QoL changes that was made after the players massive quit. 

After talking to my guild, we all agreed that a brand new classic server, made by VGN, is the best possible scenario that we would have between all those new EE servers. Even if most of us didn't like/agree with Jordan/Bash decisions when everyone were playing it (specially when we talk about stones, which in our pov, was the main issue that made everyone quit).

So, to keep it simple, that's our main requests:
- Reset classic server and back to cap 60
- Stones should be ATLEAST 50%, for a healthy gameplay, avoiding frustating daily experinces.
- Keep class rebalances. 

We know that VGN may stay reluctant about remaking something that already failed once, but this time you have a path the went to the wrong way, so you can avoid mistakes to improve the new path.

And the last, but not less important, "Classic" in our way to think is something more like classic classes than harder gameplay. We understand that the server has to be hard to survive some months in each level cap, but when it comes to be frustating, you crossed a line that shoudn't be crossed.

VGN is the only company that have source access and hold Awaken pretty updated.

When Classic started everyone knew it was going to be real classic experience being P2W, after huge change and many servers coming up we know classic still better option than others but community doesn't want to play there just fact it can repeat.

I'm awaken player and i tried classic, i do agree that reset would be best option but it would kill time of everyone that still there and money people spent.
Also for classic being alive and don't break awaken again, make diferent gift card from awaken and classic for AP, so players can't just use awaken gold and boost on classic, killing awaken VGN Card Economy which went from 25-30k to 80k in few days.

I would play if changes made keep for the server but i would be sad for people that spent alot of time like Jake and Matt which was helping me gear up when i tried.
If VGN staff agree with reset they would make pool and ask those players if they do agree with this, i don't think just wipe all their progress would be fair.

Also we must talk about one specific thing would VGN stay with good patch made or after time start forcing players play all day?

With stones % fixed, in my pov, wouldn't actually matter if you can buy stones or not, would be only convenience.

I wonder if they are happy sitting in Aven all day looking at each other with not a single sould passing by them. Me and my friends did spent money and time on it too but we have to face that our past in classic is something that we cant get attachted to if we still want to actually play the game in the best possible scenario.

Playing all day was only a thing because all our resources was spent buying lucky stones that it was basically throws away our gold.

If there are players that are willing to play Classic if the server resets, then I think VGN should take it into consideration. Nobody plays the Classic server as it is now. Every time I have logged on in the past few months, it's a ghost town. Having a fresh server would give players something to do, and with VGN it would provide stability. It's obvious these people want to play. They've jumped from one trainwreck of a server to another, over the past 18 months.

 

Additionally, it shouldn't be made an easier than it is now. If anything, some changes should be reeled back because of a fresh server. While Classic is meant to be more difficult than awaken or other servers, it is not meant to be entirely easy. The goal of an MMO is for a consistent thing you grind to complete. Not finish all of your gear and achievements in three days and then sit in Aven and cry you have nothing to do. If you want a game like that, try DOTA or LoL.

 

I will say, if it's possible (which it should be), Jordan should migrate the data of players who want their data migrated to their Awaken account if they choose to reset the Classic server. If not, players that quit shouldn't feel too sad or bad that their data is deleted because they haven't logged in months/years anyway.
