Server sounds ok, just a few rough edges. Seems like someone's been reading poor old Graphite's "9D 101" and got the basics but missed the details
1. The rates are wrong. You're mistakenly assuming Acclaim ran at base rate, and that was not so. I was around FD on my 1st char when they changed (~1y before LD was released), so you can figure how long that's been. XP rate was 1.5 and skill was 4x. Which is why every time server was reset everyone would be crying till GM set it manually...
2. The removal of Wan Daye sets is idiotic. Every time i said "keep the RC and RL ones", there was a **** good reason. On top of that, giving 1 pocket (!!!!) set at RL is insulting. Might as well go buy some no-stats 3 pockets clothes from NPC.
3. Messing Order of Double Weapon is another idiocy. The real one has +3 all which is QUITE RELEVANT to low/medium players and "balanced builds". If you REALLY needed to offer a ck def relics (at GC??? mobs have no ck dmg and nobody PvP's at GC...), could have picked any of the irrelevant ones like Patrios Plate or something.
4. Following up on that, crapping the Bamboo quest that gives the +2 all Mirror relic and modestly decent clothes is... well... stupid.
5. The gift weapons are... sigh... stupid. What made every other server's gift weapons so great was that THEY HAD NO REQUIREMENTS. That allows people to build as they wish instead of having to build around the weapon they'll use.
Other minor things here and there.
Honestly, server feels like a nice attempt, but lack of attention to detail and odd decisions make it really awkward.
