I'm not sure what this has to do with my point.

Why is it black and white in one instance, while gray in another?
I know I've been a critic of the iPhone server's reminiscence or lack thereof, but at least my personal definitions are consistent.

True or not, some of your posts have shown a total lack of awareness as to whether this is the case.

I'm not saying it is the exact same entity. It has however always been re-using and expanding on elements from the old entities, while adding new elements to make it capable of succeeding on modern day Graal.

LTTP was a master piece when it was released in 1992, and probably would still be very well received if it was released in the present day (such as when it was released on GBA). This is because it had excellent gameplay, regardless of its console's technical capabilities.

Much of the sentiment behind the 2000 version of Classic is based on the circumstances of its day, that it was free to play, there were hundreds of players, the sheer quantity of content, there were few other Graal servers, it was more possible to submit your own content to the game etc.

If it were to somehow be brought back, it would be very clear that much of it is terribly out-dated, low standard, poorly designed (which Tyhm thought so a decade ago), and to scripters - difficult to maintain and add improvements to.
