Your posts suggest that you do.

in 2003 some of these quests were still around. in 2011 I none of these quests are still around. should I treat both versions the same just because they were different from before?

This question doesn't make sense.

I haven't said that it does. I've been giving you an explanation as to why I disagree with your opinions, and the many problems surrounding them.

Where have I suggested that this concerns me personally?
As far as concerning the server, how could "reupload the 2000 Classic levels" not be? (albeit Graal2000 was a flop, and was made in the first place to prove Tyhm's point)

I agree that it's possible for old gameplay to be enjoyed and that Graal should be trying to further market itself as a retro game. But much of these levels you yearn for were from a time where there was no such thing as an accepted standard. For all the good things that are worth salvaging (and can be salvaged properly on the current server), there were a lot of terrible off-putting things as well. Then you would still have the problem of it being harder to maintain while adding new features to the game.

I didn't say he did.

That, and the previous version not actually having as much of a vision.

I'm not saying those were the only reasons people played it. I'm saying those are the circumstances of the time which provided the higher playercounts, and compensated for the lack of quality compared to Tyhm's final version of GTA. Due to the introduction of P2P, and the establishment of more servers, Classic had already lost a lot of players even before the NPC-Server.

I'm not saying you're here to annoy me, I'm saying you're acting under a conspicuous guise rather than simply being honest and upfront about what you want.
