Couldn't Turbine create a new server... that they rollback to 99!? still with 275 level cap.. but none of the other shit.. ?

that would be far cheaper.. and please a lot of people who want the 'old skool' feeling..



Players have been asking for a retro server for a while now, however turbine thinks it's more important to add tailoring and the ability to hide our helms.

Also your idea of allowing lvl 275s on a retro server makes no sense. AC pre TOD was good because no one could cap their skills. Capping skills took away a lot of the "skill" from the game. Instead of focusing on what skills you wanted to put xp into, now you just cap them all and everyone has the exact same stats.



That made absolutely no sense. Leaving aside the fact that the code for the old server simply isn't there, and that it would cost a six digit figure to develop a retro server (probably more), what does the level cap have to do with skill caps ? Did you invent some new dynamic where being level 126 magically prevents you from maxing all your skills and forgot that it wasn't actually real or something ?

Also, can't we please start locking these kind of topics ? It's always the same dead horse by people not taking the 30 seconds it takes to think such requests through.

It just doesnt seem as if Turbine can make a game that retains a large amount of people though. Even though they were able to secure the D&D and LoTR names, those games dont seem very popular. AC was a fantastic game when it first came out, but I really dont see Turbine putting new resources into the AC franchise.

For the time been, I would like to see the sound system upgraded to allow 5.1ch OR atleast improve the sound quality + add positional sound effects... The sound system is horrid!


Also, I would have to say that destroying Arwic destoried the game... They should have just increased the amount of people in that area before Portal Storms formed and altered their dyamic loading systems to place more resources on to that area...


Oh ... and where the frak has the weather gone?!


AC looses weather and WoW gained it lol

I think someday someone is just going to have to hack one of the original install CDs and set up some kind of private server. Probably more than anything I would like Turbine to set up a retro server, but it's just not going to happen at this point. (Maybe the 20 year anniversary if Turbine's still around....)
