Charlie, could you not just open 2 server One hardcore like you suggested, old school x1 without any buff, and an other with xp rate like x1.5 / x2 a drop rate a bit boosted and some " standard " buff, those from the NPC you implanted werent so insane, i mean you still had to dp with other ppl to xp and that dosent affect the farm, everybody could choose his side this way ... I personally like rappelz 6.2 As it was, but we also play Private server for the little extra it can offer. More than just custom event, we need refreshing gameplay. I think that a private server isnt intended to spend 6 month to lvl a character to 150, neither in 3 days, we just need a good compromise because otherwise ppl will get bored after 1 month. That's just my opinion
