I'm tired of repeating myself. But here I go, again.

1) We have no option but to use NPC Server.
2) Given 3 years, Tyhm's team was unable to convert all of Classic.
3) GMap's are good, and Stefan want's me to use them.
4) The old bombs and bows, and explosions too, do not work on GMap's.
5) Fixing bombs, bows and explosions requires custom hit detection.
6) About 95% the old scripts/quests are incompatible with NPC Server.
7) Many of the old quests were also buggy in concept.
8) Bringing in new players is more important than making a few old players stay.
9) If it was feasible, I would prefer the old content.

Funnies:
1) People complain that I'm not being old school because I moved the start place from Sister Gertrude's to Brothers House.
2) I get more positive comments on the hit detection than negative comments.
3) I should not have ruined Supernicks by changing it without his permission, despite the fact that Supernick himself sent me the changes.
4) Every playerhouse I've tried to put on the overworld has been met with complaints of unfairness.
5) Last year (old levels) the playercount went down. This year (new hit detection), it's gone up.

The problem is that people are complaining because they wan't old Classic back. Old Classic won't happen, on several reasons - the players are gone, the playercounts is down and the levels do not work. I am working hard to try and please the greatest margin of people, and to get more quests up, but I can't just magic stuff up from my back pocket.
