Would you play an old map (poke)

[Raging_Mage]

So im working on a poke server. I am considering going back to old school maps. Not like on OTLand, but like on GameBoy. I am talking about the EXACT same maps that poke fans had in red, silver, ruby, etc.

Yes there will be some MINOR changes such as:
-Viridian forest was instanced in the GB version and is SHOWN on the map I am making. Same with all caves like mount moon, diglett cave, etc
-Hotels will be added in each town (after the starting town). So players can own houses.
-There will be no snorlax blocking certain routes but there will be a system implemented to prevent players from going where they aren't allowed.
-Certain caves have an extra route to make them work and fit into the actual map.
-Cities and routes were enlarged to incorporate larger number of players.

Anyone that has played pokemon knows that you start with 1 of 3 starter pokemon so some custom stuff I could add is places with spawns enabling players to catch the others -

Tibia came out in 97 and Pokemon came out in 96... i don't understand this fascination with pokemon.. i equate it to barney although that came out in 92

i'd be curious at how will you do this because im sick tired of all common download and run poke maps on all those br servers that are online now

Well im already in the process, and yes I understand. I hate the maps that are used.. and the way things are.. So im getting a team together and making it right.. then implementing some fun systems.

Well its something I grew up with as im sure many others did as well. Taking an old game and giving it a new perspective is fun, and being able to put your own ideas into it is a lot of fun as well. That and the fact you can play online with a ton of people makes it fun and interesting. And if you can equate pokemon with barney couldn't you do the same with tibia? The only difference I see is that pokemon a way larger fan base.

@Heon
I agree a lot of them use the same maps, which is my opinion are way off base. Whoever mapped it didn't pay attention to the details. Also a lot of them don't fix the bugs with teleport and the other abilities so they remain bugged. I mean you can look at any of them and the only difference I have noticed are slight changes in maps, Other than that they are the same and they RUINED the feel of the game. Im putting it back in there.
