Your Dream Server.

[Hutchy]

In light of all the threads trashing servers, and all the people starting up their own to "get back" at servers that didn't perform as they would have liked, what exactly is YOUR dream RO server?
What are the rates? Customs, donates, staff, community, competition... what are you looking for?

Can be a one already thriving, or one that died, but I encourage you to just fantasize for a bit and think up everything you could ever want in a server.

By NO means should this thread be used as advertising though. I'll poke your belly button if you do.
And we all know nobody likes belly buttons.

My dream server... would be purple.


And pink.


And green.

Quite honestly? I only have one thing that would make a perfect server.

The fact that the community, and staff, have no corruption amongst them, and are genuinely nice to other people, and actually CARE about each other, and what's best for the community.

A perfect server would be one that no jerks whatsoever ever join, so you only have nice and caring people ^_^ <3 of course nice staff too.

The staff portion you can always control if you're an admin, but you have little to no say in who joins, you must try to weed out the bad elements once they break the rules, but there's always those "borderline" ones that don't directly break any rule but are rude, obnoxious or constantly whining, and you're stuck with those.

A server with 99/70 max lvl, HR, no customs, uncorrupted and competent GMs, filled with thousands of RO vets only. (Alright, that might have sounded a tad too elitist, so I will be willing to include new players with a serious learning attitude, and who strive hard to be good players in WoE.)

In such an environment, I can't care less about the "social" rules and the attitude of players. In fact, the ruder you are, the more intense WoE competition will be.

Anyway, I can't see too many RO vets being *idiotic jerks*. Sure, there will always be jerks, but at least they have a (much) higher IQ. And, in such a server, it will be guild first, general community second, hahaha. What's best for the community will be easily decided by polls. I'm sure a majority of RO vets will make the right choice.

I also want HR just so anyone can have a team of max lvl characters of different jobs. MVP drop rates should be x1 though. This is so that a whole guild can change their job composition at will in order to adapt to, or surprise, the opposition. This makes for much, much, more interactive and exciting WoE.

My dream server has hot girls. Lots of hot girls.

But in all serious-ness, I'd like to have a understanding/cooperative community.

Rates: 50/50/35
Customs: Legendary weapons and armor for all classes .
No donates - or just stuff like cute headgears such as coppola
no corruption
other then the legendaries, about 30 more customs which could be items, quests, maps etc.
SinX not being the most used class <-- ... Just seems everyone that plays SinX has the same personality, and it sucks.

[Littlechan]

rates= instant max level XD

equips= ALL of cat related items (cat ears, cat claws, cat tails, cat costumes maybe? X3)

GMs= friendly, non corrupt X3

server=stable, no lag X3

all job available

and no big clients X3

[Sarin]

rates 30-40 base/job, 15-20 drops. Customs-nothing gamebreaking, mostly fashion stuff (like some normal headgears remodeled into nicer ones). Good class balance, perhaps a little nerf of SinX link. Frequent events, good community and GMs. No lag 24/7. And episode 12.1 available.

lro and some old server called eternal ro.

/killself

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.

But I'm a lady ;___;


On-topic, my perfect server would be... one with tons of customs. TONS. I've been playing RO for years, and I need my interest to be kept. I don't mean stupid superficial customs like all the mage classes having brooms, I mean custom shops, moving existing things around, custom NPCs, quests. Custom items.

Other factors would be a professional and active staff, balanced gameplay, a small loving community (60 players tops) and rates between 10/10/10 and 25/25/25. XD

I've been mulling over a concept I'd consider my perfect server for awhile now,  where I would allow 2 major forms of gameplay on the server.  One would be something considerably similar to Yu-gi-oh, where you would card battle another player using monster summons, and the latter would be the regular game, pvp, mvp and WoE.  I don't want to really give too much away as I've gained most of the idea from another server and it's possible they would implement something like this way before I would ever get the server off the ground myself.  One can dream though.

As for rates, I personally love the Mid-rate environment, so I'd probably have something like:
-Max level 130
-Max stats 120
-can max one stat and nearly max another one
-instant cast unreachable without considerable sacrifices
-rates = 55/55/25
-donations = None that would give any advantage over a non-donator
-customized cards to some degree
-custom items to some degree
-custom mvps to some degree
-custom WoE experience to some degree

Aside from that, I like the idea that there is something for people who have finished leveling, gearing and MVPing to do in their free time.  Endgame content I guess you would call it.  I find a good majority servers lack it in any fashion.  Many would consider farming MVP cards and God items the end-game content of Ragnarok Online, however I would argue it's to boring farming the same easy MVPs over and over for crappy cards and God-Items are overpowering junk that just adds to the power of the guilds strong enough to keep the specific castles that drop their parts.  

That's why in a perfect server, I would have no god items and significantly changed MVP cards as well as loot system on MVPs, so that it's spread out somehow to those that did the most damage and not the one guy who got MVP(another flawed system)

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).
