I give it a 0 out of 0 chance. WP would mess it up. Between bugs, cheaters, and greed, the server would be another Freya in no time. They can't even do anything on the forums besides tell us when Maintenance begins and ends. No communication whatsoever.
One of the original problems with the Loki server was lack of content. That's because the server had everything already "baked in". So, when they tried to add things, like weapons (the bow for the Jumping Janeway event, for instance), they weren't put in properly, and therefore, couldn't be displayed correctly. Using a database that's copied from Chaos but with Classic settings would ensure that developers could easily add content, including Renewal gears, cards, etc. How fun would it be to race to level 200 with 1x rates on a server with Classic settings?
At this point, making it a P2P server wouldn't work, as there's so many with such little faith that it could be done correctly. (If WP asked, and the entire PLANET said "no" to selling anything in the cash shop except costumes, we'd have OCPs the very next day.) So already, the player base would be too low. So we'd have another P2W situation. And no matter how much they try, they just can't seem to not things up by putting OCPs above all else. Who's running seals in Chaos again? In which build do God items shine best? Exactly.
6. GDRP is a thing in Europe. The whole reason why Europeans got the boot in the first place. I know there are things that have to be taken into consideration when dealing with data to and from there. Also, the Gacha model is either illegal or very tricky to implement for those regions right?
And finally, Kuurus, the GDRP was a copout from day one. Gravity always intended for RO to be divided by regions. I would assume it had to do with RWC. Idk. However, if you look at the dead forums for the other games, you'll see at least one game hosted by WP that welcomed back EU players shortly after WP banned them.
Welcome Back EU Friends on May 12, 2021! - Patch Notes and News - WarpPortal Community Forums (Side note, Dagon Saga EU players got to keep their accounts when they were banned, since, I'm guessing, WP knew the ban on them would be lifted. Players for RO1, at least for the Classic server, had their accounts completely deleted the same day the ban took place.)
So, it has nothing to do with GDRP, and Chaos and Loki were (maybe not directly) sabotaged. Most of those players are now either hopping illegal servers, or simply moved to other games. And a brand-new server with EU players unbanned isn't going to win them back.
