Servers going down and needing maintenance would fall on the server host, not on Funcom. By no support I mean it doesnt need updates to the game, content, developement etc. Sure there were bugs back then, but we still have plenty right now and still play and love the game. Im just saying I loved the EA version of the game.
How so?
You take the server file, slap it onto a G-Portal serverā¦and go? Why wouldnt that work?
Server host can reboot the server and troubleshoot problems that are not game-specific. If the server is not coming back up because of a game-specific problem (e.g. a bug), then Funcom has to get involved.
No problem with that whatsoever. Iām just explaining why youāre extremely unlikely to get that version on an official server, why youāre not going to get it under the conditions OP posted (i.e. āzero supportā), and why getting it under proper conditions would be bad for the rest of us (i.e. it would take Funcomās resources away from the newer versions of the game).
On the other hand, it seems like another player is in the process of figuring out how to get the legacy version and host it, so you guys would be able to host your own private server(s) with it and everyone is happy.

Indeed, private would likely be better then to expect Funcom to host. I mean, I can understand them NOT doing it and I wouldnt blame them. Not many companies, if any, host servers like that. I know Ark did for a while, they hosted legacy servers that didnt recieve any updates, then after a while they shut them down. But at least Wildcard openly gave the last save files to the public to allow them to continue playing on private servers - epic win right there.

I agree that I wouldnāt want Funcom to divert focus on the old version when they could be putting 100% focus on current issues and adding new features. As I stated earlier, it would be acceptable of course if a good chunk of the population wants this. At least 10% probably to make it even worthwhile working on.

seems to me reading all this thru
The ismple solution would be to bring back weapon swapping thing - REMOVE OFF-HAND SWAPPING- Do to offhand swapping what is currently have on MH swapping.
the hard solution apparently would be to bring back older patched servers.
My 2cents here. Not never played Siptah (im on PS5) im only a bystander looking in.
Outside of the technical details that would involve having one game but 2 different mechanics. Your essentially asking for 2 different games.
It would be a horrible idea to never change or innovate your game. Whether its a bad change or a good change you are living in nostalgia. If it was the same exact game from 2018 you be complaining nothing is new.
I cant think of one game that hasnāt constantly changed. Look at any MMO game that has lasted years. Their players long for the past times when they started playing but over time if things dont change you lose people because it gets repetitive.
talking MMOs. Great.
I dedicated 17 years mostly on. Exploring not many other games. Conan was one of them I did explore during my time playing an Online MMO for 17 years.
I know it is important to have new content for a game, that is almost a common knowladge for every gamer out there.
But, I did not say that I disliked the god taking an example.
I did complain however back then when they made the new stations; because of their size. thats a scaling problem not a game problem.
But you see. Where I wanna get at with this post is; the fact that they are changing a game that is now kinda old from somthing that is has been since its release talking animation canceling & slower animations in gerneral, for them to make a more ārealisticā game so to say.
that is infact impacting alot of old players who have been playing this game for quite a while sadly in a negative wave.
Therefore this suggestion poiting out for them to make a version where the problems with pvp were less or atleast very missed by the old community as a band aid on the wound. I do not see the problem for them to think in the ways of this as it would mean a whole lot for old players.
now u said MMOs
Classic wow
Runescape & prolly more Idc.
They all did this implamentation to keep their community & to bring back older players to play their nostalgia. Which imo is a cool move.
taking wow - now they even announced another version of one of their vanilla expansions the burning crusade.
These problems we are having ongoing in the current version of conan 2.4 can be fixed.
it can lead many ways.
Hopefully it could lead to everyone being happy if they reverted surden changes.
sadly alot of people of old days would stop playing.
The solution is simple; you wanna keep update current game? thats fine just make somthing for the old schoolers so we dont have to sit & pvp on forums everytime a new patch comes online.
Thank you for your feedback I am amazed if you read everything.

Time is moving forwards and not backwards. Letās ask next for a Remastered version 
im not sure I follow? where do you stand?
I get that a lot 
I do not want to go back to 2018 
Sorry.
I will explain you why i do not want that.
I want to see Siptah done. With or without character travel feature. Funcom already struggles to have 3 platforms under control, adding vanilla will bring additional manpower need it for the project and so on. Manpower that is clearly need it for the main game.
As it has been mentioned in here, SirDaveWolf mentioned things concerning this thema. Maybe even some modder will come up with it, but i would dislike to see Funcom spreading its developer team even more.
I just want to feel that the game is complete someday. Then we can talk about vanilla servers.
This type of comment is the correct feedback my man thank you alot. I think we can get far into understand each other here 
I understand that you want to see a complete game with Siptah & so do I.
imo
I think each map should offer original features such ofc the map it self & the armors & the recipes just to take a few examples
this leads me to the next point of why I think vanilla maps would be a smart idea ONLY for exiled lands ofc. Because Exiled lands were originally designed with fast travel in the shape of maprooms. That is a feature that is unique to Exiled lands & not siptah.
then Funcom did a mistake imo. Mounts were added - I think that feature should have belonged to Siptah only. Not exiled lands. I think that could have been a far more well take upon feature & made alot of intrest for the map siptah if people knew it had mounted combat & exiled lands did not. Somthing to go for at each realm.
I have noticed that alot of pvp players of old school disliked & also loved some of the newer features that were added in the newer patches.
at one of conan exiles peak times player count wise was back in 2018 alot of full servers & alot of pvp enjoyment.
Knowing that the patch for 2018 just to take that as an example already has the features & no change policy it should have. There shouldnt be much to touch on. If a player āsirdaveā can do this I think funcom can easily manage to put this together without many mistakes & effort.
If it was up to me it would be all exiled lands servers would be reverted to 2018 patched servers. But in my research & based on the feedback on the threads i am currently following people are not so keen on the whole idea. which is what has lead me to that.
Example: lets pretend there are 100 Conan exiles - Exiled Lands Official servers. that is a total of 100% if you took 50% or 25% of these official servers- That are mostly empty anyways - you could fill in space & players on these realms that are empty based on the % mentioned above. The servers would then have to co-exist without new armor types/weapons & so on. No changes. There are countless of mentions on how they could execute this without much effort.
So where am I going? The developers can still go on their ways to improve the rest āmodernā exiled lands & Siptah for that matter without hurting anything in the 2018 servers.
Saying this I dont know if you noticed but every patch since siptah seems to ruin alot of things in the Exiled lands servers. Which is very sad.
I hope this lead you to understand abit of my pov on the case, remember I want to see this game reach full potential in every corner of it. This game made me quit my 17 years of wow addiction. That is the ONLY game I have ever played for a long period next to wow & it made me quit wow.
Very nice feedback mate I wish more people would give a good reason behind their reason rather than just writing its impossible or somthing like that. Thank you.
You should have stopped here. And iāll try explaining why. I am against horses, maprooms or any kind speed traveling(speed hack is still a thing).
I have played solo official pvp until may 2018(and some Devolved servers pvp/pve). Then i have moved to Xbox official pvp until dashboarding started killing our playstyleā¦You see with mounts and obelisks pvp has become a lot more faster, players would not need to hide their bedrolls anymore, we could not flank the attackers anymore, if we managed to kill a couple they were right back in plus supplies for their clan membersā¦So we moved our base away from any obelisks, surrounded by water and high up(i jumped off my own base so many times :))) because of dashboarding). We did that only to escape horse travel and obelisk abuseā¦Before all of this, my 5 man clan was alpha clan on 2 official servers. i wonder whyā¦5 man controlled the entire jungle area before we decided to stop until dashboarding was fixed, they have tried a couple times, it did not worked. IT IS FIXED NOW 
(donāt want to talk about it, iām over it) but we are waiting for full release of Siptah for consoles, we still want to live healthyā¦I said it so many times in these forums and on steamā¦
--------------------CAREFUL WHAT YOU ARE WISHING FOR------------------------
It is sad. But i moved on. Also kinda got burned out on vanilla map after the xbox experience and play PvE or PvE-C Siptah official. I played/currently play Siptah on private servers aswell. 2 active servers(one of them being testlive, i do not know how i ended in there) and 2 others where i just reset decay. All in Siptah. Console will be also Siptahā¦ I aināt coming back to Exiled Lands :)))
You must be trolling me 
. Sometimes telling things as they are is a lot better then my approach. But a lot of people are on their edges atm 
I am the guy that can take a f c k o f f with good reason, butā¦i will stop here 
I really hope a modder will take his time, or that @SirDaveWolf comes through with it.
just to add I also hate mounts I see where we r going here
but now that they are there I just think they should be in Siptah & Exiled Lands should have their maprooms ātheir own little uniquenessā call it
Thanks again for the talk & little thought share Im glad I could express my opinion futher on ur comment hoping that it will be read thru

I believe that, to be 100% unsupported:
-
funcom releases a tool that allow modders to implement a version select menu for the client and server.
-
the āvanillaā (or version select modded) server is setup and self hosted by the player.
Server rental companies should have the ability to opt-in/out of hosting the mod if they choose.
Note: I donāt know how any of this stuff works and I am just thinking about possible solutions.
Whatās stopping you from making your own version of conan exiles I mean the game engine is free you can learn how funcom handle things and how other games handles their games modding with dev kit doesnt mean that your bound to only mod and play their game lots of time people will play other game see how itās done and then play it letās get back to classic wow did you know the only reason why we even have a classic wow now is because a team took it and rebuilt it from ground up using assest and not making a profit and they even got close to getting a million player unique account they pushed blizzard butt to the point where they had to do something about it and so we got it classic wow from themā¦ all Iām saying if you really k want something try your hand making a similar game to theirs wish you well in that regard
what r the names of the apps?
The game is dying, just very slow and painfullyā¦
