Yeah, the stylist thing on Hero makes zero sense. It's like you *want* to repel new people. I've invited several people to play who said that stylist was a deal breaker.
I mean you've even got @autotrade and complete town warps which cost not even 1m to unlock, yet the stylist is eternal pain for everyone who likes to change their look often.
Anyway, aside from my Stylist gripes, it's full of older people, mostly American. I really think the median age is probably 24, which can be nice if you're tired of playing on servers filled with teenagers. It's also about as close to a non-donate server as you can get, as they offer nothing of value for donations.
Since you like low rate, you may also be interested in their mining and fishing mini-jobs. It's a huge part of the server and one of it's distinguishing features. There is also no such thing as a useless card. If you get a Poring card, you still have something worthwhile thanks to the hat quests which take junk cards in order to make.
So basically, it doesn't fit your job changing preferences, but those quests aren't really that bad

And a nice population is way more important. It has that in spades

As for "new" there isn't one that has a population over ten. Traditional LR are a dying breed.
