RS2.0 Try-Out Server

[Mopreme]

Hi everyone,
A thought popped into my mind the other day.. If the the old scripts that goes all the way back to RS2.0 still exist, could this not be implented in a 3rd party server as a try-out for some days?
I am aware of the fact that things won't be 100% identical if a server was to be started now, but it could still be an incredible journey back in time, wouldn't it?
Please note, this is not something I write to offend the progress or the current state of the server. But for those of us who were around few years ago, would most likely be jumping up and down on the thought of this.
So, a whole new server based on the RS2 scripts where everyone starts from scratch to have fun in a journey through memory lane. Moreover, this is only if the old scripts still exist.
Please, if this topic is to be remained open; keep the discussion on a civilised basis.
Thoughts?

I do like this idea, however one major problem is that they would need to be modified from their original form to run on the newer version of SA:MP. If it's possible, though, I'd love to see it too.

I have been playing since February 2011.At that time I did not even know what script was.But as I can imagine the new scripts are never 'new'.
They rely on previous versions and the basis is the same.What would people win using older scripts? Addicions like to everyone,don't they?

Sometimes they are redone though, such as SA:MP RS5 being made from scratch. Either way tho, the differences in the versions are generally pretty large, hence the version changes. I think he personally just wants to see what things were like back in the day.

Trust me, I know how things were. As a matter of fact, I actually joined Argo just a week after its debut on SA:MP
I miss it. Why? In one word; quality.

Quality? Are you high? RS2 was barely playable.

Want to go back to SA-MP 0.1b, too?

The crashes every 5 minutes were the best.

I would love to see some sort of legacy server! Actually talked about it with someone recently. Refurbishing the old scripts shouldn't be too hard, and we could name it: Argonath Classic

You join the server in RS2 and you only have 30 forum posts and only registered a forum account this year? What? :trust:

299 posts since march 07.. Happens to more people as u see..

Altho the idea is nice its not or hard to realise, samp version changes etc.

Also, i once installed windows 98 on an old pc of mine again for nostalgic and old school reasons... Only to find out how much it sucked and sucks compared to current versions.
Same would happen here, in te time you wouldnt be crashing you would see how much the server improved and leave the old school one never te join it again.

I didn't join the server in RS2. I joined the server in RS1
MrMe, a classic server like RS2 today would be... wait for it.... legendary!
Being independant of scripts like we were back in the old days made both the server and ourselves unique in our own ways unlike today where we are drunk in scripts that are, in the big picture; unnecessary.

Right man, and I joined the server before it was ever created.
