Classic no doubts has a lot of potential. But I'd argue and say Classic, Despite it's potential. Will likely either die, Or it will never really achieve the title as a very well known game that most irl people will play.
Reason i say this?
1. According to Coco. Graal has no way of detecting 3rd party apps. So basically this means when a certain someone *cough* xyz *cough* makes these hacks. Graal has no way of really stopping these things to begin with. I mean look at how they tried to stop auto farmers with macros or bots, they put a "Are you there" message. Not like there isnt bots that can be programmed to tap the message or aim bots. I know 7 guilds at the top of my head that have autofarm bots daily in their GH. Guess what didnt stop them? That crappy message. Instead now it bugs any other person who farms legitly. so hacks basically are like bullets to clasic that kill it.
2. It takes a unbelievably, and unnecessary amount of time for classic to progress as a game. NGS for example. Took classic ages to do anything with the tent. Ect. I mean solo game developers have built entire games within the timeframe it takes classic to do something or improve a much needed thing.
3. Toonslab + Staff, I'm pretty sure anyone who has randomly got banned for no legitimate reason understands this. You get banned while farming for "sexual misconduct" or hacking or whatever the random reason. Message toonslab. And watch as they either ignore your email or dont rightfully unban you since you did nothing wrong. I've once sent a ticket about a girl who was harassing my friend. I got a response saying they cant unban me. When i wasnt even banned nor even talking about a ban. 10/10 support.
Not really even counting the fact classic has a absolutely terrible habit of destroying itself. Removing 1k hats with nothing to compensate. Nerfing loot so bad that now it is a worse method then farming. Crippling farming by removing explosive arrows. And among other things.
