Is Classic a long time server?


Recommended Posts

Hello

 

I've been wanting to start a party on classic for streaming on twitch to showcase this game but ive heard from someone that classic servers will be closed and merged with Aden? Is this true? That's really disgraceful if true, I highly doubt it but can someone from NCSOFT confirm? I would like to play classic and really feel stuck on where to farm now.

I don't know where you heard this rumor, but that has been my prediction that classic will be shutdown by next year 2023. 

They completely mangled this version of classic. It was never that classic and has only gotten worse. They insist on homogenizing it with the rest of the modern system like random crafting which makes no sense on classic. Aden or essence is the obvious and clear logical progression from classic. Eliminating the need to box a full party just to play the game. If everyone afks by themselves on classic anyways, what's the point of playing it if there is Aden? 

Every square inch of classic is farmed by adena sellers or other players. Full boxed macro party farming necropolis or anything good. Classic isn't designed with the mob density of the modern version, but a single player can hog an entire room in Cruma. Any new content is only accessible to like 100 people top because it's way too hard. This is however true of any version of L2, but it's obvious that the need to log 10 characters every single time gets tiring. 

If you are truly a new player to L2, don't play official classic. Do not waste a single dime. Play it for free to learn the ropes because L2 has a steep learning curve. If you don't already have 10 accounts with VIP 10 ready, it's a complete waste of time. If you don't have even a single account with VIP 7+, it's a waste of time. It's because you will not get any drops or spoil otherwise because the game is rigged that way. It is not possible to have any innocent fun on classic because nothing you would expect happens on this server. There are no parties. No one cares while they afk by themselves. You will get nothing because you think you can play for free with VIP 0 and no one will or can help you. Many players actually enjoy the mmo aspect, but this is not the reality on this server as they officially allow 10 clients and that's what everyone does. This is why Aden has struck a nerve and more palatable to the rest who did not want to bother with classic. 

Classic is just a name. The official classic is a mangled new version of classic never seen before. They've already moved well beyond the breakpoint like removing any vendor value of drops like crafting mats. Spoil rates were already terrible to non-existent. Drops and recipes aren't the exact same as the old classic database. Zones like DV and TOI updated already, but they still refuse to release towns like Rune and Heine. It's supposed to be a party game, but the players cried for things like dances to be auto-casted so they can all afk with their own parties. 

Why people like classic is because of the original class design pre-awakening. That's what it comes down to and that's what you still get on Aden. Zones and content have changed numerous times over the years, but what people want to play is the original classes with the original spells. That is still the same on Aden compared to what it is today on Live. 

It is still free to try out any of the servers so go ahead. If Aden and Classic merge it is not because of the company being mean. It would be because there are not enough players to financially support it. But the company is at fault for the version of classic they released. There are many variations of classic and this is not the one and they insist on modernizing it instead of releasing a true classic version. The modern systems are clearly adapted from the Aden version and it's not suprising that it works better on Aden. There simply is no incentive to stay on classic after the release of Aden, but players like boxing 3 parties and playing by themselves and you can still do that on classic.
