Petition to bring back a classic! (Forest Bridge Map)

Some say the good old days of cRPG are gone forever.

No generation 25, level 40, black armor wearing, boulder on a stick swinging, jack of all trades charging down a bridge in a lush forest environment, stopping in their tracks only for a moment to take in the scenery and listen to the mumbling of the river down below, before they continue their devastating charge on the enemy. These times are no more.

But halt!

Not all that we had back then needs to be lost forever! This map, this scenery, this simple but tactically genius way of charging lines of archers on the bridge with shieldwalls while cav is battling on the riversides and flankers flank their flanks until they unite in fierce battle, it can return to us!

All we have to do is make it happen...

Bring back the Forest Bridge map we all so love to hate! +1 if you want a classic to return to a server near you!

dyna of the olden days
For while the fire in the heart of a single Remnant still burns... can Stratia truly have fallen?

I do have fond memories of that map, I would love to see it again!
I'm not normal and I don't pretend so, my approach is pretty much a bomb crescendo.
Death is a fun way to pass the time though, several little bullets moving in staccato.
The terror of my reign will live on in infamy, singing when they die like a dead man's symphony.

I hardly see the point of EXP bridge maps unless they buff ladderpaulting again.  4 siege ladders and instant deployment by turning around and having the ladder raise in the middle of the enemy clump of infantry, flinging at least half a dozen to deaths (that counted as suicides):  one of the highlights of old cRPG.

Ladderpaulting was hi-larious (from a safe distance) and always reminded me of that scene in Blazing Saddles where they set off the dynamite in the fake town and the villains and horses went flying up in the air.  I can't find the clip so I'm just going to leave this one here:  http://youtu.be/JMK6lzmSk2o

Yeah, bring that map back!

Aaaaaah a refreshing walk down memory lane.

Bring this map back and I promise I help you invent other ways to troll on it  :D

Just remembered how once a whole group of archers suicide-jumped off the bridge after their team's melee was killed. Good times  :D

Also fun: kicking shielders off the bridge.

God I love that map!

A good classic, but there already are enough cav-unfriendly maps out there.

Let's create range-unfriendly maps like a giant wheat farm (you don't see anything).

Or inf-unfriendly maps with a death canyon you can only jump over with a horse.

You know, to balance it up.

GIVE IT BACK

There are a few other old maps that should be brought back, too.
