Classic Tabbed Servers

First, to start off, let me explain that this is not an attack on any server or it's staff members, so please do not get defensive.

I have a question regarding a couple of these servers...namely: Delteria and Atlantis.

That question is: Why are these servers on the Classic tab? I realize that at one point, these servers maintained a large player count and contributed to the Graalian community, but those days are long past. Why are these servers that add nothing to the Graalian community allowed to hang around forever? I'm asking this as a paying member of the Graal community.

Having over 900 hours on Delteria, it saddens me to say that it should be taken off the Classic tab. However, in complete objectivity, it's become an idling spot for Alex-Stravier's RC. They have stolen floor tiles for their ONE city available to the public, and only offer a spar arena as any attempt to give players something to do. There is nothing to do there and knowing the Delterian staff, there won't be anything to do for the next 2 years.

As far as Atlantis goes, I can't speak much about what their server holds and contains. It's actually a very nice server, however, there is no player activity at all. Over the last year, they've broke 10 players only 10 times, and reached ten only 4 more times. Having a grand total of 10 or more players 14 times in 365 days while never breaking 20 players. I understand that this is one of the only German Servers available to players, however, I just don't see how this is adding to the community.

Like I stated previously, this isn't an attack on any server or staff group, just observations from an objective view. I feel that as a paying player, the servers that are hosted on the Classic tab should offer some sort of entertainment for those who have paid rather than something to laugh at. I think it would be much more appropriate for a server like AEON, who generates a steady player base while on the Hosted tab, to be on the classic tab rather than server who have no appeal to anyone be on them.
