I would like to see an oldschool server based on some old files and I think that there are still enough players for such a server, but it's a hard job to create a good oldschool server. As mentionend, you have to fix a lot bugs and you have to "create" an active job/pvp/guild war community which means that botting have to be forbidden and the rates should be very low, otherwise everyone is max lvl in a week and it gets boring, because the old files do not offer as much end content as the new ones.
But that's the main problem in my opinion, everyone just want to get max lvl to do all the great stuff or jobbing etc, people have forgotten that all the funny shit does not require high lvl or tons gold. Silkroad was fun due to an active community, grinding with your buddies, do some trades with lvl 30 or 40 when suddenly some higher thief come up and it gets really hard for you and your friend to protect your gold, but you will do everything for it, because you need this gold, that was some adrenaline kick, but now they just run 5 gold bots and don't care about losing money, it's just about getting number 1. in the rankings.
Well, enough of crying. If anyone wants to start and oldschool project and has the same opinion as I do, then feel free to contact me.
