Is the plea for a Classic EverQuest server simply for the sake of nostalgia?
Of course, some element of nostalgia is there, but the goal is not simply to evoke nostalgia. If it were as simple as that, then such a server would not last very long. The desire to play Classic EverQuest is not due to simply wanting to re-live memories — there are many players that genuinely enjoy and want to play the Classic game because it has a fun and unique gameplay style that cannot be found in modern MMORPGs. In addition, the sense of newness would not be there because we have already played the game. But we are not chasing after that feeling. The game is enjoyable because of its unique gameplay style, and this petition has set out to prove that this gameplay style is popular enough for there to be a market for it.
