Nostale Classic

    Hello everyone,

    Is now a good time to talk about how amazing a NosTale Classic would be?


    Imagine starting fresh—just like the moment the very first egg was placed in NosVille.


    A true nostalgic journey for returning players, a new beginning for those who missed the early days, and a fresh challenge for everyone who wants to experience the original magic all over again.


    A new server, a true classic experience—something that brings back what made it all so special.


    Let’s make this thread BIG and show how much the community wants this!


    Thanks for reading, and here’s to hoping for positive news!


    Yours truly,
    Another :)

    Hello,


    I agree with you, we need a new "clean" server where we can start from 0, a slow server, old NosTale style, where new things came out over time, not like now everything is fast and in a hurry, where you start at Level 80 and run, this is not the original game.


    Once it was tiring to do job 50, now you get to level 90 in 1 hour, once seeing a SP +9 was a rarity, now SP +15 are nothing, before an equipment +8 was strong, now the +10 is nothing, there is no fun.


    Before getting to 10kk gold was difficult, now 10kkk is little, now there is R8 Phenomenal, but R7 Legendary sounds much better as a maximum rarity.


    It would probably be the best server ever with the highest turnout of players.


    Thanks

    Hi,


    First of all, I recommend sharing this idea in the #suggestions channel on Nostale's discord server to get more attention from the commuunity.


    It is a great idea to enjoy old times. If it ever becomes a reality then I would definitely like to try it.


    However, when I look back I remember how slow the leveling progress was (Especially between lv92-99). While some improvements could be made, the main issue is that most people don’t have as much time to play as they used to.


    But I still support your idea. With some minor adjustments, it could turn into a great project.

    Thank you all for the support! 🙌

    It's so refreshing to see that others also miss the true magic of NosTale’s early days. That feeling when +8 gear was legendary, when farming Glacernon or leveling in Comet Meadows felt like an achievement, and even something as simple as unlocking your first Specialist Card meant grinding and bonding with other players.

    Like ROssking said — we don’t want another fast-paced server where everyone starts at 80+. We want the classic journey:

    • Leveling slowly and meaningfully

    • Working hard for gold and gear

    • Rarity that means something

    otter makes a fair point too: we all have less time now than we did as teens. So maybe a slightly adjusted Classic Server could work — keep the nostalgic progression, but offer QOL updates (quality of life) like better inventory management or smoother UI without touching the core gameplay loop.

    📣 Lets make it happen :)

    If you're reading this and agree, drop a comment, a like, or just say “+1”.
    Tag Game Masters or community managers (politely) who might be able to escalate the idea to the dev team.

    The slow progression was what made "Classic" nostale what we know, i remember nostale having players for all lvl and having better gear and gold than now (it was "kind of" normal to see someone in R5+4 at lvl 34 with home made resistances, as now you rush the game with basic gear or the R5+7 and resistances given by the game)
    back then, the gold farm was to gear up and not to lvl constantly and pay form ancelloans, it's sad that the economic systeme of the actual nostale is based around nosmall and not farming
    (that's why we also need the Equipement protection as an in game item and not a nosmall item, but that's is another subject)

    Nowadays, everyone can be lvl max by just playing during lod and lol times (and paying bonuses to lvl up even quicker)
    No one knows the story of the mains quests or lore of eastmile and now one do raids from lvl below 90
    (I miss the all the raid from classic nostale ;()

    The game before lvl 90+10 is dead because of fast progression that gameforge push into the game (like creating characters already lvl 56 or just making nosfire event so people can have a 99+80 in less than 2 month of gaming) so a nostale classic NEEDS to have a slow progression


    Ah yes, and bring back the picture description of monsters please :thumbup:

    That is what we miss. What made Classic NosTale special wasn't just the gameplay—it was the journey, the sense of progression, and the community that formed at every level, not just endgame.

    The game had soul when everyone was grinding together in Act 1, beating those pee pods like crazy just to get that SP2.

    Classic NosTale needs to recapture that—not just the mechanics, but the memories.

    Start Act 1., then slowly after year or so progress to Act 2. etc.

    I am sharing this idea in the #suggestions channel on Nostale's discord server right now :)

    Thank you !

    I've been dreaming about this forever; I played this game a lot during the early days of it, and I think a lot of people would come back if they release a Nostale Classic version one day.


    Like almost no Nosmall, you have to farm your materials to upgrade your specialists, one Ratufu, etc.


    I hope we will see that one day.

    Brings back good memories! 😊


    Do you remember sitting around with your shop open to sell items?

    There was no such thing as a bazaar back then! 😄


    We hope this idea comes to life — most other games that launched a Classic version turned out to be quite successful.

    Oh yes I remember to be the happiest person on earth when I saw that I sold something after being AFK for hours :D


    Yes, let's pray for it!
