Could "classic" servers for FF14 work? Do people feel nostalgic for older versions of the game?

[Uncle Jon]

FF14 is over 10 years old and has had many expansions. There are other mmos out there that have been around a long time and have servers where people can play older versions of the game to experience how it used to be back then. This works with WoW I feel since the modern version of that game is significantly different than the original I guess? The only other mmo I know that has servers were you can play older versions of it is the first Everquest and the other is FF11 which has a fan server to play back to an old expansion fans wanted apparently. I dunno if this works with FF14? Because they bring back past limited events such as the yokai watch and the ff15 limited time events which gives newer players an opportunity to grab mounts/weapons/minions that those events give out. Also they did a really good job keeping most old dungeon/raid content somewhat relevant and easy for other people to play through. There is probably a lot of old raid/dungeon content in WoW that nobody does normally in that game (I mean with a raid group and not soloing the entire thing). Could a classic server work for this game? Are there certain aspects from the original ARR game other than fewer job classes and a lower level cap that would make a different experience that players are having in the current version of the game?

And I am not talking about servers for ff14 1.0 I mean the reboot version of the game lmao. Although I know you can access the original version of ff14 in a private server I think?

EDIT: Besides, you can't smooth over stuff.. I'd want to experience 1.0 myself because I never did, I joined with ARR, but I've almost non-stop complained about the story since then. It is bad. I sarcastically call it " That one time I was reborn into Eorzea as the Warrior of Light and had to work for everyone ", because the story just feels like an isekai more or less. NO ONE can do what our character can do so all feeling of tension is just gone now. It should had all ended with Endwalker.. And FFXIV should had been a single player game..

Play a different game then.

why on earth are you still playing it? I don't understand

if you don't like pizza why why why why why would you go to a pizza place and then complain that their salad is bad and then keep going there for their salad? and just, keep going and complaining?

especially when the place next door has what you do want?

Why on earth would ANYONE want that? Classic FF14 2.0 was a garbage WoW clone.

That and had so many bad systems/dungeons/etc. in place that I'm glad they got rid of overtime.

This was Yoshi-Ps response to someone who asked this question years ago.
ARR 1.0 was not like WoW classic. It was so much worse of a game.

ARR is 2.0. OP is not talking about 1.0.
