survey =)

hi there can you rate this server specs:

700/700/40
no 3rd job
buffer heal+buffs
still no custom
old ragnarok style
auto event: find the mushroom
mall warper
refine auto+7 +8+9+10 hard
150/70 120 max stats
what do you think?

[Strudel]

Considering it's not 3rd jobs the low stats makes it look odd, usually they go as high as the level goes..
Also it's rare to see a high rate server with such a low rate drop, players don't have to grind as much for the lvls but for their items.. depends on what players you get, i personally would be turned off.

yeah =) i go up the rates but mvp card is normal drop? is good?

[Strudel]

You didn't mention the rate for mvp card or cards in general. Depends what you want..

Rates and Job Info
Rates are kinda weird. Exp is high but drop is low. I'd say make it somehow balanced.
For no 3rd class server, 700 is quite high tbh. Droprate, I'm suggesting 500 to balance the exp rates (that makes 0.01% droprate becomes 5%). But still I think it's high, unless you're opening High Rate, which is reasonable.

Healer + Buffer
Every server have this I think. But depends. On mid rate or above usually the NPC gives Full Heal, Bless, Agi LV 10. Pretty much fine since more than that will decrease High Priests' usability

Old RO Style
What do you mean by this?

Automatic Events
It's good to keep people entertained, but I think you can get more automated events besides this.

Mall Warper
A must, if you're providing a custom mall

Refine
Overups SHOULD always be hard or there'll be no challenge. I'd still say keep it at normal though.

Max Level and Stats
150/70 and 120 stats for trans? I don't even. If you set instant cast at 150 DEX it won't be challenging. Champs everywhere I bet.

okay im using your guide. thanks a lot =)

[crysiscore3]

Yes, I'd be careful about instant and ASPD too high. 196 is usually a good cap.
Add skill delays as well.
And lastly read my guide on what not to do before launch.

I'll also disagree with Kensei that your drop rate simply has to match your exp rate. Those two things are not really related - at all. If you're basically wanting mid-rate style gear with faster leveling, then there is nothing wrong with 40x drop.
Granted a 700/700/5 server would indeed seem a bit odd, but even that isn't totally out of the question.

[Kensei]

Not very kawaii to get on max level with cotton shirts and knife in your bag.

[crysiscore3]

I played FrozenGlade which was 1000/1000/50 and I had all NPC purchasable equips by level 60, pre-rebirth. Pretty easy to get 200,000z even on 40x 

[Triper]

you != everybody, game should be available to everybody, not only to pros/good players that already know what to do.

[crysiscore3]

@ Me = pro
But really it's simple math. Turn on autoloot and sell everything when you're overweight. Before rebirth you have more than enough zenny to buy everything there is. And that's even if you're leveling in Bylaan or something, rather than a zeny richer area like Payon Dungeon.

Also, "!="? Triper is a fellow coder o_o

[Triper]

The problem isn't the autoloot, that's the normal stuff. The thing is that not everybody gets parties to places that give enough money to pay all the costs or have enough knowledge about the game because of tons of reasons.
I remember a friend that told me that he had to lv is hunter some lvs with a knife because he had 0 zenny for anything[even for plain arrows] and nobody would help him and he was too shy to ask outside of guild so he was kinda screwed for some time until he got some basic stuff to make normal arrows to hunt better monsters to get some loot to be decent overall.

And let's say that I know a bit about some code languages and study one =p

[crysiscore3]

Give all new accounts a newb pack which contains 50k zenny. Problem solved and he can keep his desired rates
