"Old school" Tera Server.
This idea born on a Pvp thread.
Emme, is there any way to put a server with the OLD Tera?? Before Reapers, brawlers, ninjas, valki... Just with the default 8 classes and gameplay.
As in this video. That was the GOLD time of Tera.
Im sure u can find an old backup with the original files. Is possible to make a server with that?? Im sure it will be very very successfull. Go back to the times of Conjunct and VM1

Game has more PvP, a lot more.
It was normal to participate in big spontaneous fights with a group of outlaws.
Yes, some classes was broken like stunlock forever warriors, or 1shoot zerkers/arch/sorc... But at least u can see the fight (Specially if u re a melee).
Tell can u see your toon right now in a big fight with all those Reapers/Gunners/Valky/Ninja Aoe skill effects everywhere? I cant! I can only see a big dark violet circle damaging me somehow.
U are maybe kinda new in the game, but for those who play on that times, must love go back to that. Simpler times.
But i bet if this server can became true, it will be full
Who will pay for the server? For the upkeep as well for the maintenance? Who will train 1-2 GMs for this server?
Will this old content be appealing for new players? Roll in money? Or attract enough old players to fill a whole server? People playing old content, over and over again?
There's one question of those I can answer: the community always wants new stuff. New classes attracts players back as well as new players. Old content doesn't.
So, if NA Tera was run by a billionaire who wouldn't mind to sink half a million in an old server, we could do this. Unfortunately, business doesn't work this way. Those reports I heard of other MMOs, setting up vanilla servers don't tell stories of success. Because it's the time and the circumstances you all are longing for. But they won't come back by simply setting up a server from this era.
WRONG. This will be a PVP focused server.
Community always want new stuff?? I hate new stuff. I hate enchanting/mw items, i hate dungeons and learn the fkin mechanics, hate the elitism, hate the long time queues....
This idea of server is different. Is not ITEM BASED. It will RESPECT the first Tera premise: SKILL OVER ITEM.
Yes it had bugs and yes it was unbalanced. But do you think now is different????? There s still plenty of bugs and totally unbalanced yet.
You dont need exclusive GM for each server. Do you think there is 2 gms per server right now?? Yes sure. With luck there is 2/3 for all the game.
Who will pay for the server?? Try and see. There is a lot of peopple who play this since 2012 or before, eager to back to Classic Tera. Dont get surprised if your "modern" stuff server feels empty and this one full.
Jeez, you must be fun at parties. Can't you let people dream a little?
But i replied to saphirKanzaki. You re WRONG.
This potential server will be a PVP focused one. Off course it had bugs. But the new things have no bugs?? Wake up! They re full of bugs and unbalance.
Community always want new stuff??? Wrong again. There is a lot of people who hate enchanting every 3 months. And being abused by son paytowin noob with +15All.
Old times was better, u have Conjunct for PvP and VM for pve mostly (but also pvp elite). Anyone can get a conjunct and +12 it. And VM was not that hard too.
You will see... All the "new stuff" servers will get empty because most of the NA people love PvP. Wich is inexistent right now for many factors. All will be on an hipotetical Old school server.
so yeah, all the so called millions of dollars to do this, wouldn't cost anything but the time it would take the persons to add it.
Maintaining servers and having a team dedicated to it costs money. There's a reason why games shut down eventually even when it isn't being updated, the game doesn't cost the money, it's the process of having the game available to everyone that costs money. Especially considering Americans in general cost more to hire whether it be to develop, test, or maintain a game compared to the rest of the world while things tend to cost the same.
they could move all the people from fey forest lets say on may the 1st, then fey forest is empty now and players cannot access fey forest anymore at this time. now john smith can start adding in the old content into fey forest without anyone missing any play time. now maybe it takes john smith 2 weeks to complete it. fey forest is now named vanilla tera server. it opens may 14th ( these are examples not really real so im not spreading rumors ), jojo will continue to take care of this server and now it opens for players ( after its been tested ). advertise it some how like they already do for tera stating that they now have a vanilla server, have people posting in reddit and maybe making videos on youtube and twitch to boost popularity and to maybe bring back old players to the game.
so why would this cost millions and/or be so hard to do?
