Your Dream Server.

[Anti-Static Foam Cleaner]

Everyone's entitled to their opinions, she asked people to describe how the perfect server would be for oneself in particular, not how it should be to make populated server of elitists, nor how to attract a majority of prepubescent players, nor sarcastic rms vets, etc. what she asked for is personal opinions. In a dream ro server of mine there would be no jerks, but that's just me, if you like them why not join some junk high rate pk, wallow in jerkiness as much as you chuse and unlike you we wont "/killself" over it, if that's what you like go for it, but leave us be to our carebear loving communities.

u mad?

I love carebear-y communities. To me, the community is one of the biggest things to think about when choosing a server. If everyone is going to be all 4channy and yell at you to go kill yourself every time you walk through town, why would you want to stay? Personally I'm not an individual motivated by being insulted. I'd pack up and leave and find a server where the playerbase valued and wanted me there.

Thus why nice communities are so desirable in one's DREAM SERVER! Mwahaha.

Sorry Hutchy, fixed the "he" into "she", Hutchy was the name of a character in a tv show I watched when I was a kid, and it was a male character (an orphan bee).

I don't mean to get off topic, but what show was this? O_O

* Hutchy is intrigued.

u mad?

Nah, just your comment seemed completely unnecessary, live and let live.

@Hutchy looks like it was actually "hutchi", he was an orphan little bee looking for his mom, quite the sad drama story.

My dream server?

Me in a lonely quiet server with my intarweb friends going around places and making fun of NPCs.

*cough* buying ontopic anyone? Dx *cough*

my dream server has to have:

1. honest and mature server Admin.
2. server Admin that would admit mistakes.
3. server admin thats open for critics.
4. definately not the type of admin who would say something like "dont like it? leave!".
5. not biased towards anyone, GMs or players are treated the same by server Admin.
6. care about his players.

Actually, it isn't so bad that everyone will insult you in an elitist jerks (omg =.=) server.

Your guild won't. They will fend for you to the death, at least. It will be more of inter-guild drama than anything, I guess. The bad thing is, if you're that kind who likes to make friends with the whole server, you'll be hard pressed to find a guild understanding and trusting enough to not accuse you of spying/collaborating with the enemy.

[-Bleed-]

Actually, a dream server is like ... a DREAM ?!!

It should be NO CORRUPTION, BALANCE, and FRIENDLY ... and strong players.

I just wanted to make such thread some time ago.

For me~
- Rates between 3 and 6 (yes, I miss those times when 5/5/3 was the most popular low rate) 3-4 drop rate.
- of course 99/50 and 99/70.
- 0 stupid commands like @go, @storage etc.
- no for healers (hi, l2use inn), resetters, warpers etc.
- restricted LEECH. That means no people leeching their characters at anubis all the time (would be even better without those mobs in the database, I hate them), or in thor...
- absolutely NO donations, or just something that doesn't count as "useable". Headgears just for look. NO commands, imba features for money ><
- I don't mind homunculus but I'm against afk lvling.

- mature and organized (!) staff.
- admins that already KNOW what are they going to do, listen to the community etc.
- WoE in a good time for me (no 2-4 AM anymore pleaaaaaaseeeee)

~600-700 people online

my dream server doesn't exist and I'm almost 100% sure it won't change.
but whatever

You know, drunken NPC, Santa NPC, some dude in a corner with a little kid NPC, in addition to travelling around the world of RO and mobbing lots of aggressive monsters that we can't kill.  Possibly annoy players and do big parties for fun in dungeons.

And spamming Moonlit Water Mill at pront.

But aside from that, best server would be servers that are chill with absolutely no grinders or competitions such as best character in server, WoE, or GvG and the such.

[InFlamesWeTrust]

Aside from the general no corruption, ect. .  In terms of rates, low, like 3 or 4 for base, and maybe 5 for job.  With drops rates at like 10 for normal cards, around 3-5 for equips, around 5 for usable/misc items and 1 for mvp.  No 'main' town. No stat reseter.  A quest-able/buying hair and/or color stylus located at various areas. Little to no custom items like wings.  An actual custom made story-line.  If anyone has played DivinergyRO, you know what I mean. Game masters that are involved in the community.  Uhm...  A nice forum.   I would say a PvP/WoE orientated server, but a good set of quests and whatnot are equally important.  @autoloot for cards only (Can't tell you how many times I've lagged at just the wrong spot and missed some nice cards... ;_;) No other commands.  NO MULTI-CLIENTING. <---  Thing I want the most in a low-rate. Same donations as official or little-to-none. WoE at 1 day a week or wednesday and saturday/sunday.  Starts out with around 15-20 people and gradually rises~ Perhaps a warper to basic (Gef, Morroc, pront, ect) towns for a fee, and unlockable warps to the first level of basic, low-end dungeons, also for a fee.

If anyone wants to make a server like that in the future, I'd help pay for the host. Just not right now 'cause I'm broke >_>

Have you ever played Notepad? IRC is MMO version of it. Just like you described.

[Hutchy]

I like how almost everyone included that the server must be devoid of corruption. XD

If people wanted to act all cool from 4Chan, they should stick to the trash that is 4Chan. There's nothing wrong at all with a community that actually gives a flying sh*t about one another, other than the whole "rofl u can't defned at woeeee nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooob lulz".

As for my ideal server, LR or MR rates(no less than 10/10/5 and no more than 200/200/40) with an active staff(by active I mean logging in game more than once a year to remind people to donate...), nice people to play with, and healthy competition.

No imbalanced, garbage customs, no special prizes for donators, and players that know what they're doing with the game, rather than making SB Sin Xs all day.
