I rarely have interest in these topics, but it's an interesting view into the minds of the greats in the last chaos private server space, although it's sad many others haven't come forward yet and given their thoughts yet on the current state of LC.
LC is in its current state is due to negligence from gamigo, all the money and time, they could have created Last Chaos 2 and the non-stop milking the cow done prior while in the private server's scene, There's no reason to sink in hours in a server that will close in 3 months or in a server they keep adding shit that don't make sense and the obvious elephant in the room, corrupted staff teams. There are servers with so much custom shit done, you don't know what to do. They add gimmicks from mobile games like what the fuck. It's sad the sorry state LC is, and it won't get better, this dumb inbred retarded player base [CeNsOrEd] ride all upcoming servers leaving the good ones with good devs behind in the dust, while I understand why some do. Usually because in the current server they are playing they can't have a siege, so they go to a server they can have siege others because admin is corrupt.
Sickness, nicolasg and Veni have written very good points to the things you have asked and would be redundancy for me to write the same things, but they have not yet called out Devs/Admins for the current state of private servers currently. Yes they are part of the problem as well and here's why:
Content made for some hours,
Way too many pots,
The idea of every char to be similar,
Clear increasing cash grabs by some, such as to max out affinity either put in the hours or max all out for 100-110 eu instantly,
The ideas of the never ending buffs, why does a player need to have 5 rows or more of buffs to go level up or PVP ?
The idea of faking player count
The idea of new affinity,c2, p2 and pots is content. It isn't.
The ever-increasing weird textures that don't fit LC.
The never ending idea of newer systems, not all systems have a place in LC, for example legal bot in game. An already dying game, your big brain move is adding bot ?
Almost all servers have the exact same content, nothing original, all buying or creating same things that are making the game more complex while some have very stupid ideas on what to do. All done for the sake of making something newer and shiny for money.
Some devs intentional going to other servers to crash, dupe.
Some think this is some [CeNsOrEd] measuring competition and a clear example is revenge here flexing how many servers they have created along how much money they have made and how much the power of friendship has carried him forward, a true dream opening a big server with your best friend.
To others this is just a side hustle quick money, and they are good at selling a server to players every 6 months or so, it's really smart business, open, do crap, have players leave, close because no players, clean up db, add some fancy stuff and open under a different name, different admin, rinse and repeat
The corruption. Admins know many times who are hacking, but they won't ban, in some cases their friends have access to items no one else has, their staff play the game influencing things for the best outcome for their friends, an array of shady things go down, and then they sit there wondering why their server is having lower player count daily. Some favor the opinion of people from the same community as them and when I say community I mean same country over the opinions of others, some shamelessly go and sell accounts/items on epvpers.
I may have failed to mention other things, but I am human and I have a faulty brain.
That's my 2 cents why devs are to blame just as much as the toxic community we have. I am open to anyone pointing out anything I have said wrong and willing to change my views on the matter.
Now onto RGT fella here, LC is a crippled dying old man. With just as an equal dying community, everyday more people stop playing LC / die. We are very lucky Windows 11 still supports LC.
By all means if you believe in your dream and believe in LC, create a team, take a loan and create a copy with better engine, improved things and different assets, they can try to sue you, but you can just say LC was an inspiration. I am not a lawyer, the last part might be wrong.
Now, if fawks cleans up, stabilize their servers, start a clean server, add game to steam, make changes at this point a total reset to like lvl 50 cap, with half of the ep3 stuff removed, pays some streamers / YouTubers, get a fresh pair of eyes to make the game feel more modern, there may be hope for a second lifeline like. 2 shows how it feels like to be a brand-new player and watching this video, seeing a ghost town, high level cap, quests that give no exp etc. Why should a new player continue after downloading?
Looking forward to reading what Reza writes and how many times calls people spoon-fed faggots.
TLDR : Official and Private Servers are a mess, no advertisement, sponsoring and if they do, new players just won't enjoy playing a ghost town ( official ) and Private where content isn't created for new players and many close after 3 months .
