it would be amazing... oldskool crafting system too, and harvest-rates .. when rares were actually rare and you had the most insane oldskool recipies, attracting crafters, that likes a challenge, to the server too what? i like killing people harvesting nodes.. just gives the server even more of an oldskool feel oldskool transport system, yes you would actually have to move around across zones to get anywhere *ghasp!* basically make it as it was in feb 2006 --- sony might ask, "why T7?" because it is the most balanced tier in the game and KOS exp. pvp was awesome
plz let us have our T7 pvp server on the oldskool ruleset! and you can keep your broken Nagafen, WF's and BG's - do what you want with it, because those that prefer the old pvp-systems would never look back att soe: think about it, you wouldnt have to patch the game or do any other maintance apart from patching the OS and rebooting every other week. its ftw!
Something very similar was done with eq1.They made a time progresion lock server.Everything is almost like it was when it first started.And the players vote on when to progress to the next exp after the main mob is killed.also in game votes on other stuff as well. It can be done.The question is will the hear us and at least look in to it.When it opned they had to open a second one in like 5 hours later it was so popular.
Ever since Eq2 pvp came out, pvp is at its worst right now by far, i cant stand live, the only reason im still playing is because of Test Copy. If SoE actually made a server that was only patched to EoF i would take back everything i said and right a love letter instead. SoE this is something you really should consider, save pvp PLEASE!

Kingdom of Sky would be perfect this would balance PVP in the great way we all remember. Achievement points are where it all went wrong as some classes became far to powerful and others where given the shaft. Sony if you want to get your player base back to where it was this is how you do it. Stop giving all the new players from World of Warcraft and Hello Kitty island adventure every nerf they ask for and give something back to the players that have been playing since launch.
if this were to happen i would come back to pvp. i left nagafen within minutes of the server transfer going live. nagafen in its current state is garbage. SOE, make it so!

T7 was more balanced 2. itemization wasn't flawed to the point of 3k autoattacks, endless power, mages/priests with higher-than tank survivability, absurb crit % 3. the famesystem kept the game interesting and adrenaline-rushed 4. the amount of zones kept openworld pvp alive 5. less openworld transportation kept the openworld pvp alive 6. no absurd run/mount-speed the only thing you need to do on this server is to reboot it now and then, how win-win is that, hm?
There would have to be some rules with a server like this though. 1. No transferes into the server 2. No mounts from vet rewards with insane speed 3. Old school transport...AKA waiting for the boat at nek docks to get to butcherblock. 4. No PVP gear, AKA toughness. So raid gear is the best to have. Thats how it should work anyways. If you wanna be the best in PVP you gotta raid. FYI Toughness gear was put in the game in order to save the scrub players from getting destryed by people who knew how to play there class. Now however a scrub player can make a tank put them in all reinforced gear and think there good. If you where to put this same player into KOS days and in full raid armor he would get destroyed by a vet in MC gear.
