The main problem is, as mentioned earlier, that the "old hands" have already left the scene and relatively new players can't be inspired with an oldschool concept. The game has become fast-paced over the years, and today's players are spoiled by the new systems.
For example, Anchient is not a pure oldschool server for me. Oldschool means for me, oriented to the game of 2008, no offline store system and especially no four or more inventory pages.
Another problem will be that nobody knows how long these servers will last. If a server lasts more than 6 months today, you can consider yourself lucky.
The most people are grown up, so they are working or do other things. They have no time to invest this amount of time.
I wonder if the majority is still interested in the game itself at all? Don't mind me if I'm wrong, but I see in Metin2 only a money business, whether as an administrator or as a player.
I believed that only in Italy we were in bad shape, but man, without offline-shop i think nobody play!! Now more systems are essential i think this man.
I think alot of servers especially the one you mentioned were really bad advertised. or the admins are idiots like the one from ancient2 lol. the server can be good but if the person behind the administration write stupid stuff somewhere , bad presentation too less promotion etc. can lead to no players. the community is pretty ruthless. if you fuck up they wont play simple as that, they just go on and play another server where people actually play. the reason why people play on aeldra as example is simple: there is almost no alternative. i think if there would be a good oldschool server with good quality of life good marketing etc. there is a chance to gain a good player base. A lot of oldschool server just take files and put no work into it and market it as "oldschool" i think thats the biggest reason noone wants to play them.
Okay but in the oldschool server which news do you want? just only remake graphic for example, or create a game with step level? for example first step lv 1-30 with map 1-2 next step 30-45 with desert and valley ecc... i say an example. Or you can put new costum/skin for armour/weapon?
Alles anzeigenIn my opinion, most oldschool servers make it difficult to start up.
Nobody wants to hunt wild dogs for 3 hours before they can enter map2.
A few QOL features should also be present, such as: Basic teleport ring, switchbot, full inventory, pickup filter .....
Revised maps with nicer textures, maybe a few new dungeons / systems for the low-lvl area. All in all, you will probably go in the direction old / middle school.
Furthermore, there are often bugs on the current servers and you don't get the feeling that the team has put a lot of effort into the development or that the concept is too simple.
Yea i mean this...for example maps with new graphic, and for example dungeon lv30 to make set30
Alles anzeigenMan but what you mean about "stable oldschool" ?? ...I mean for example ancien2 and mt2classic, their are vintage oldschool server but don't have more players why? ... And Aeldra middleschool have 4k+ players...
I hope you don't mind to use a translator for the following:
Beide Server haben in meinen Augen ein großes Problem: Ancient2 ist instabil und besonders fehleranfällig. Ich konnte in den ersten 10 Minuten Spielzeit (beim Start) bereits über 20 Fehler finden und 2 - 3 davon haben den Server einfach unspielbar gemacht. Der Administrator war auch nicht gerade seriös und hat die Sache ziemlich beschissen runtergeredet.
Mt2Classic hat zu viele Dinge die zu modern sind (in meinen Augen). Bonusseite, Kostüme, große Shops, Flaggen im Namen, die neue Anzeige unten rechts wenn man mal was neues erhalten hat und vieles mehr. Das alles trägt dazu bei das der Server dir nicht das Gefühl gibt, das du auf einem Vintage Server sondern eher einen Hardcore Oldschool spielst.
Mmm okay man.. i try to use translate for de:
Aber meiner Meinung nach kann ein Server heutzutage ohne einen Offline-Shop nicht existieren, ich würde es auch machen, aber ich fürchte, es wird nicht geschätzt, gerade weil einige Systeme heutzutage unverzichtbar geworden sind.
Was den Rest angeht, muss es doch etwas Neues geben, mit dem man sogar Geld verdienen kann, oder?
