2005/2006 nostalgia game restriction

[sewil]

So I had an idea for a game restriction to retain some of that 2005/2006 nostalgia. With more and more new content coming out the server feels increasingly less nostalgic (and less challenging), yet it is still considered "old school maplestory", so I thought of a good compromise which would bring back some of that nostalgia (and challenge) while still being able to play in a later version. Some ideas:

• Client hard-locked to 800x600 resolution (forced full-screen?)
• No jump-down
• No monster info (HP/name mark)
• No party HP mark
• No quest helper
• Can't use Safety Charms
• Can't use EXP/Drop coupons
• Can't use mounts
• Can't access certain maps:
  • Leafre
  • Mu Lung / Herb Town
  • Ariant / Ariant PQ
  • Amoria (?)
  • NLC / HH / CWK
  • OPQ
  • CPQ
  • Helios Tower / KFT
• Can't use certain items:
  • Pendants
  • Newer items like leafre weapons/armor and balanced fury
  • Maple Weapons? Would force you to use the OG weapons and armor.
  • Baby Dragon Food / Heartstoppers / Onyx Apple
• If it gets released: Can't access Nautilus and can't advance to pirate
• Certain quests are disabled:
  • First job training quests
  • The Rememberer
  • Dark Scroll quests
• Custom server commands like @time and @ping are disabled

Probably a lot more that I can't think of now, happy to receive more ideas.

Hi Sewil,
I think it's really good idea! 
I will be more than happy to try it (if it gets realeased)

In my opinion, I would be more than happy if OPQ + Amoria will be accessable, but anyway I will be happy to try the restriction. 

Thx you sewil on really good idea!
