You are all full of shit, every private server I have ever played sucked ass..
Yes, lets spend a few days making 1 char of each class full super 2soc +12 -7 +255..
The way I see it personally, the only fun in a private server is PK galore.. aside from that there is no point, it is like a escape from getting your ass smashed on the real servers.. I played UZN CO for quite some time, yes it was the best server and probably still is if it is even up anymore, even tho it was the best server I ever played, every server I have ever played aside from the origionals like TQ, they seem to stay up for a few days or a few months, go down, you start all over, play it for a few months and it repeats... That is the worst part of it all, especially when SOMEONE donates and then loses their money, why not just donate to the origionals and keep what u paid for, ohh well not my problem but all in all, UZN was the best server I ever played aside from TQ because like I said, you don't have to start over 10 times a year on it. Also, any replica of another server always deems to be shit, no offence cause I have not played your server, but after seeing the things UZN coded, I very seriously you, or anyone else who bought/stole/downloaded a source code can implement shit as quick or nearly as good and less buggy than someone who has done it for years.
Also, another tip for your stupidity and E.M.E did it also which drove the server down a lot, if you have to pay to keep up with someone then the server is not worth playing, yes lets donate for level 255, well fuck that, if I can't get there without donating, then there is no use in wasting your time on the shit cause it not only gives a unfair advantage, but it makes it so people are basically gods on the server compared to people who can't afford to donate, or are kids and parents will not donate for them, half the reason a lot of people quit TQ and went to other servers, people donate and get decked out in less than a year compared to someone who strives and busts their ass for 5 years and can't compare to the donator...
IF you ask me, any server with that kind of disadvantage is shit.. That to me says, all I give a fuck about is money, so pay or you can suck ass on my server. If you can donate for it, you should be able to play and get it also.
