I started playing this server a while ago, and just figured that I should give it a review.

I found my experience on this server to be enjoyable.  I was able to level my characters to a decent position with relative ease.  It was helped greatly by the fact that there is no limit on party exp share on this server, and that most of the players are friendly and willing to help newbies with gaining levels and such.

The Game Masters, and admin are online often enough that this could almost be a paid job for them.  More likely than not, however, they're just enjoying this as much as the players are, and thus hold events through out everyday. 

This said, there is practically no player economy and there isn't really much competition between guilds.  However these things will likely improve when the server gets more players.  Before that though, they should upgrade their servers to be sure they can handle the increased traffic without lagging out.

Also, I've had some problems with the patch stability.  I'm not certain what's wrong with it, but it probably needs some debugging.

Anyway, in general, I still think that this is a good server and, if you can get around the patching problems, I would recommend playing it.


Server
Stability: For me the Patcher keeps crashing and glitching out, so I give it this score for stability: 3.
Availability: I never saw the actual server go down once, so I give a 10.
Community
Friendliness: The vast majority of the players here are friendly and willing to help, so I give a 9.
Eventfulness: There were more than enough events to satisfy me. Rating of 10.
Game Masters
Friendliness: The Game Masters were always friendly and helpful. 10.
Availability: The Game Masters are almost always online. 9.
Helpfulness: Half the server broadcasts are asking if anyone needs help. 10.
Game-play
Economy: Although the npc's have good items, the player economy is nearly non-existent at the moment. 3.
Guild Competition: There's not enough players for good competition in WoE atm. 3
Class Balance: Although the high wizard is now a slightly overpowered, I don't really mind it since they've made all the classes mostly equal now.  Rating of 10.

My overall score for the server is a 77/100.

This Server has changed the Patcher from Neon Cube to the Thor Patcher.  I haven't experienced any Stability Problems since the change.  Thus I am changing the Stability Rating from 3 to 10.

Giving SliceRO an 84/100 score from me.
