HooCairs expressed it in a good way, and used the words I didn't find. I must say I can't agree more. So now it's not a personal opinion any more, but our opinions. :D :arrow: :lol:

It really ticks me off that we can not have this game (Classic) in that (COTW) environment.
Thanks, ~Jeff

This would be great. It is my understanding though that porting the game to a new engine would mean to rebuild everything, environments, animals, 3D player models, weapons, clothes, etc. EW would require some time to do this which would paralyze their team and leave the current game unchanged/unpatched for the same amount of time. That doesn't pay off for them. Also the system requirements would raise over night and would render the game unplayable for many paying customers.

Newer is not always better though. I find the gameplay in Classic easier, smoother, a lot more honed than in CotW.

But this graphic engine does not last forever, sooner or later will have to change it. I hope this will happen soon, very soon

I agree but I think what would happen is that they would make a new game with the same type of gameplay and content and with the same pay model and give discounted memberships to existing customers of Classic, or allow a membership transfer. The old game would continue to exist for some time but not long. Many of us would hate to lose all their stats, skills, trophies, etc. though. This should be transferable too. :)

I don't mind COTW but Classic is still my favorite. I find COTW is like a cheapened down version of Classic. Many of the missions are just about impossible to complete (for all the wrong reasons), the game is very buggy, and I just find it boring after few hours. I've got a few hundred hours booked on COTW but I'm pretty much done with it for a while. I'll probably duck back in every once in a while, but Classic still has me hooked, even after 8760 hours of play!
