If we create a server which is just based on people wanted to hold onto that feeling of nostalgia, as was attempted with Friendly Players in the past, the server will just die out incredibly quickly as soon as users no longer get that same feeling, which does always go away once you get used to it again.

What we want to create is not something which will just draw in old players and let people relive a little bit of nostalgia. We want to create a server which is a little friendlier for new players so that they can base, so essentially, yes, this will be a basing server. However, something that we can do is have certain special printers / printer boosters disabled on the server to give people a reason to take the risk of basing on the main servers.

A lot of people seem to be getting the wrong idea about this. We know that we can't please everyone in the community. That will never happen, because in any environment, people will always want something besides what they actually get, the whole "grass is greener on the other side" thing. We will not do any kind of server reset at any point, but nor will we remove all of the items from the main server that make ZARP unique and fun compared to other servers.

The best middle ground that we could find on this was the idea of a ZARP Classic server (a name like ZARP Combat may be more suited to the server itself in all fairness), in which certain items will be disabled so that people can't use OP methods of raiding / defending or making money (suits, x4 printer boosters, some special weapons, etc.)
