I puke over the fact that close to 200 trolls voted new crpg and only 80 voted old.
Here's an idea. Re-release ''Xmas-CRPG'' under a new name so people won't be confused whether it will be shut down or not (thus not even wanting to play because they're scared of a possible wipe). Or put the OLD CRPG database in the hands of some saint/good guy who are responsible and willing to take care of it.
By that i mean you (CMP, chadz and rest of dev team) willing to put Old CRPG and permission and everything with it in the hands of one or a few responsible guys who will take care of it.
That includes separate database for old crpg, picking an admin team with proper admins who will ban people who breaks the rules ingame.
And you don't even have to lift a finger. (If all of this is possible that is).
I think that with a NA and EU server and an admin team that properly makes sure people doesn't break the rules and such on the servers and that also takes care of old-crpg i'm 100% sure that Old-CRPG will get the attention it deserves.
I mean, here's a handful of reasons Xmas CRPG failed.
: No admins to keep check on things (banpoll warfare), no support at all for Xmas CRPG. No NA server which alot of NA players wanted.
So TL;DR bottomline. If you let a handful of responsible people be in charge of OLD CRPG separate mod (database, servers then i'm sure it will satisfy alot of peeps.
