Your ideal server?

[burlyfish]

Non rebirth, non renewal server, no extended classes.

99/50 level and 99 stat caps, auras are completely edited out. (/aura doesnt really work)
rates can be anywhere from 5x to 30x, but I'd be happy with even 1x base xp if job xp was high enough (like, 50-100x).

Drop rate can be whatever, though I think a high card drop rate (5-10%), while keeping the usual hydra, thara frog, and mvp cards low, is great for the game because it would encourage different or even "silly" builds. And really, cards are 1/4 of RO's gameplay affecting customization (stats/skills/equips/cards).

Everything else isn't too important to me. I would definitely play retro if the rates weren't so suffering or it had like, 200 more people playing :/ Midro was/is great, but I can't speak russian. It just seems like there are no english "oldschool" RO servers besides retro.

I can dream, Can't i?

Well, I am more of a collector and a talkative player, so I prefer super high rate servers... or at least a high rate one =D.

Rates: I suppose 5000+. Don't mind the item drop rate.
If the server has a levelling system, arena, etc that would be good as well. Same with instant levelling or high party sharing experience.
Max Level: Don't really mind. The servers I tried are at least 255+ in terms of the base level.
Max ASPD: At least 195 or above.
Necessary commands: @storage, @go, @warp, @who, @whogm, @mi, @ii, @autoloot, @autolootid, and a few others.
-I love custom maps, mobs, headgears, etc. Rarely see a server with custom weapons, but I guess some would be cool. However, I dislike the really huge customs, disguises, etc that would block a huge portion of the screen lol. Collector at heart <3!
-Fun WoE & Active PvP would be great additions.
-A good number of automated and GM-held events, but not excessive!
-Never really tried third jobs, but I guess I prefer none.
-A small to medium-sized community. I prefer not to lag due to people spamming chats, skills, and so on. Furthermore, it is just that much easier to make friends over a smaller community. Larger servers seem to have most of the groups established, which may make it difficult for players to start the server unless they come with their friends. Most of my friends stopped playing RO though XD.
-Pretty website, detailed and updated forums, nice in-game graphics would be awesome. I care for aesthetics in a server quite a bit.
-MvP rooms are not required, but it would be good to make people work for their cards more so (so no to these arenas).
-STORY QUESTS <3! Love them to bits! However, I prefer quests that are doable... and do not require more than a week to accomplish. In fact, I prefer quests that can be achieved within 3-4 days.
-NO to DRAMA. Seriously, players and even staff members can get out of line sometimes. I do not want to see good servers go to waste due to verbal warfare and DDoS attacks/hacking. People just need to get along if they truly love the server!
-No overpowering donation rewards + need balance gears if there are any edits/additions to the item database.
-Dedicated staff members who know what they are suppose to do and would act on their words. In addition, they should be friendly to all sorts of players and learn to deal with pressure.

-Probably got more points, but I guess I should stop spamming haha XD!

[Nicosmic]

Insta 99/70. Classic/vanilla mechanics. Heavy focus on Battlegrounds (conquest) and WoE2. No overpowered donations, no ridiculous customs. No attempts to 'balance' classes that the head GM doesn't like or has some retarded ideas about.
