IMO, and I know it's going to be different for everyone
But I liked the server how it was, because at the moment the only thing fun for me is finding new gear. Sometimes I'll find something cool that'll make me wanna build a new toon.
Now, new quest lines and content would be really appealing, but grinding like Chree and Taroc said, is not so appealing. But I'm not asking you to go and add a load of new quests because I know that would be a rake load of work.
Also, as a suggestion going forward, for those that like a harder game, you could add an option to play hardcore with your new toon, where xp is lower or enemies are harder to kill or something like that. And if you party up maybe you get some sort of bonus. Just an idea.

IMO the server has evolved to a great thing and the quest line is pretty cool. Thanks at that point it is very awesome what different kind of quest there are. In the past, the quest line was need to get solved, to lvl your toon. For a newbe its great to learn about 3t. But I like more the endgame farming in different areas and different toons... Or build a newbe toon because new gear was found an therefore the server in the evolved version ist great ... so i vote the version of 3t which we played before the crash But what was mentioned about to choose at the beging the hard or normal way sounds interesting ... PS: but as EE version *thumbs Up* ...would be awesome

I'd like to get more information before really coming down in either direction. If we keep our old vaults it would be nice to go back to playing the current version, if we don't it might be a good opportunity to rebalance things a little.

As an update to what I posted above, I am still desyncing quite bad with the WASD movements, even with a VPN, already tried quite a few things with it to no avail, open to other suggestions to try (With VPN or other options to try out) (It doesn't desync offline, so it is a server issue or packet drop of some kind)

Have you tried on another EE server ? I assume you connected the VPN to France location ?

All maps it can occur in (It tends to be worse on more corridor maps or if there are objects in the way)

If we keep our old vaults it would be nice to go back to playing the current version, if we don't it might be a good opportunity to rebalance things a little. How much time do we give Dac to extract some data out of the server or see what else it is? Could be a power supply issue or something else besides a Hard Drive. If it is a Hard Drive, all Vault info could be lost. If it is something simple and we can get it fixed easily., does anybody think it would be good to have both going, EE and v1.69?

I like a few of the UI and animation things from EE, such as the spell casting effect, it shows an icon on the area of effect in different colors. also you can scale the UI to be bigger on your screen. can't wait to see what can be done from the dev side to make things cooler. I was testing on the new server with Findell just now in some end game areas but I didn't have a whole load of time. but without the updates being added, there's not really much point in doing much testing, as it'll probably be the 3t additions like scripts and items etc that will have any bugs if there are any at all

Not sure how final decisions will be made but I will throw my opinion out there In a perfect world would be great to have Vaults fully restored and have the most recent version available for EE. The unlimited resource option for future development sounds awesome. Seriously would hate to lose all the loot hoarding over 20+ years on the toons. I still feel the newest versions are the most complete and entertaining with the different server wide buffs and seasonal events etc. You will never see server counts as high as when easter eggs and uber pots are dropping With that said it might be interesting if a server B option is also available which is the newest version of the server but with a clean vault for those that want to rebuild on the "new" server. Either way for me the newest version of the server is what is most compelling to me.

I think it would only be courteous to give Dac as much time as he needs, unless he says he can't/doesn't have time to do anything more. I think if it's a HDD problem and vault is lost we should move to EE, if not, I think it would be nice to have both a 1.69 and EE server going.

I'm pretty patient so I'd leave that up to you and the Dev/DM team to decide, not to mention it doesn't feel right to keep bugging Dac to hurry since he probably has things going on in his life. As for EE vs 1.69, it's honestly hard to say, I guess some people won't want to buy the game again but honestly, after two decades of entertainment, I think throwing a fiver at it when it's on offer isn't a lot to ask. There is also the possibility of people (like Bolto) having issues with the newer version so I could see why it would be bad for them, it would be nice to see ironing out those get some priority. Ultimately though I think it should come down to: what is best for the long term future of the server.

Hmm. To go in to more detail. Assuming the 1.69 server is recoverable, I can't see much harm in keeping it up. I believe you still had some ongoing development in mind, so perhaps if you are willing, finish that up and release it as the complete 1.69 version. The server was pretty much at the cap for resource limitation anyways? Afterwards you could shift focus over to the EE version and continue development there along with some proper rebalancing. I think people would naturally migrate over then. If that were the case, I think an argument could be made for not transferring the 1.69 vaults over. Before people start tearing strips out of my hide, I'm just putting the suggestion out there, I think it's at least worth discussing if there is some major rebalancing.

Yeah I don't want to force Dac to say hurry up, but it will be hard to decide what to do next, if we don't have all of the information of the old server. But he has all the time in the world for me as of right now. I was afraid of keeping both up, v1.69 and EE, the player base would be too split. But we have the opportunity to get new players more with EE. It would be funny to be forced to play the v1.69 version because the EE version is too full. I also wouldn't want to run Bolto off. If nothing else we can have a Bolto Server for 1.69. I am also glad you want me to finish up that update, what was funny is that the new areas were called The End. Just happened a little sooner, than I needed it too. I would rather had a big party go in there, check it out a little and then Bammo!! Server then Explodes!!
