2. Instant notoriety and respect: Its a known name by the older crowd and with all the hype it must be a good server right? Everyone will know and love me for bringing it back!
3. Pipe dream #1: Since it was a Classic tabbed server once, it will instantly become one again. Meaning you won't have to pay for as long to develop something before you get the proverbial free ride.
4. Pipe dream #2: It had a solid player base that most surely will return if its back online. Hence, you don't have to worry about attracting new players.
In conclusion, the old servers were great because of the community that grew during their time. Graal is about community more than what content the server holds or what name it had. You cannot bring back its community and even if you did it wouldn't be the same. They've all grown older and have different lifestyles and tastes now. Meaning, enjoy the nostalgia of the server that once was and use those brains of yours to make something new and fresh instead of trying to recycle something that wore out long ago.

Thank you, that sums it up nicely. Hello to everyone who remembers me. I realized a long time ago that it was a pointless endeavor to bring Doomsday back. It would need so much work that you might as well start from scratch. As WarrLord has often said, I spent a lot of time and money on Doomsday and it meant a lot to me and I can't emphasize strongly enough that you
cannot bring it back like it used to be. The original people who made it great are gone. I know a lot of people hate me for closing it down and claim I was the worse Owner/Manager ever, but I also have enough people who know I was a good one. I gave it my heart and soul and it rests with me. I didn't ask to be the last one, I didn't ask to have to pay to keep it up, I didn't ask everyone to leave and go buy their own servers and chase better rights. At the end of the day I kept my promise. When its just me and the NPC control I'll close it down. <3Doomsday<3
