Failing.
Everyone has their own idea of fail. If your idea of fail is a server with any form of bugs? Then yes mine does. Auction House, Empty Strings, few faulty NPC E.pet cards, Quests, some pets bug out rarely, rupee amount setting isn't working, and item limit isn't working so well. Hell sometimes the crash is so bad we have to do a rollback. In the future even a wipe if we plan to update things Yet other servers have close to the same amount of bugs, so all but Rappelz retail isn't fail.
If your idea of failing is me keeping the server up mostly none stop for days, then wanting to take a rest? Well yes I fail. And if you've noticed this is a test to see if I can handle hosting/watching over a server.
Drop rate.
No, it will stay as it is for now, till we at a later date can lower it and not cause missive player whine. It was lower, the rupee drop amount isn't working; people couldn't afford their tier gear. Then they noticed that gear barely drops at higher levels, so we upped it again. I made a new character, without added items/money/pets/gear/etc made with my GM Admin powers. No armor, just a weapon, return scrolls, and a 9k weight bag, I found a large spot in Horizon in the Lv30-40 area; then just farmed for armor/weapons only.
I didn't try to get my best exp, I just stayed in a area till I didn't get drops anymore and moved on. Stayed there and just farmed it. When I got heavy enough to be at a slow walk, I used a scroll back to town, NPC sold them; repeat. I then tell people of how to get their rupee for just a bit of time on a low level character.
So till we can get the Rupee drop fixed, The drop rate is the best way to earn money for players. (By then the Inv bug may be fixed and make this all mute...)
What we offer.
The server offers high solo exp rates, very high party exp rates, auto buff on log in(Along with a HV pass buff). CS item NPC, Cloak NPC, also NPC for R5-7.
We give people a place to try out what they want to, even if getting rupee isn't as much of a cake walk as leveling. We hold events to give players a chance at rare pets. Also what they seem to love? There is always someone there to put the server back up when it crashes, who always backs up the server every half hour to an hour.
What I think?
I always think I'm not doing a good job, that I could be doing better. That I could have handled the stress I've felt from running this server better. At least I noticed that I was getting stressed out and was smart enough to take a break, rather then right out close down the server. This was a test, to see what I'm getting into and I don't think I've event felt all there is to it. All I got to say is....
I'll be back.
