[Question to the public] What do you want?

Before you criticize: I am attempting to develop a fun, interactive server for everyone who finds interest, I have no interest whatsoever to hear your negatives towards my idea. If you don't have something positive or encouraging to say, please be kind as to fuck off of this thread.

Besides a minimal amount of servers on the market nowadays, I am quite irritated. I really have minimal interest/experience in C#; hence, I am debating to open a binaries server that may catch your eyes. I know l2h is leading nowadays (binary servers) with it's classical and almost unbeatable gameplay, followed along by other servers (ftb/conquer-rebirth). My question to you guys is, if you could have another server open, in your eyes, what would be the best type of server to publicize?

Note: Whatever you guys decide will be low exp rates to ensure a comfy and enduring stay!

option 1: (my favorite)

exp: 2x
gold: 2x
cps: pseudo drop 1
dbs: 2x
mets: 5x
lottery: yes
db lv: no
socket chance only: yes
donation overpower: ofc not

This option is probably my favorite. I liked shortly after lottery was released, where players who couldn't necessarily afford buying multiple dragonballs could possibly compete. I will alter the rates of lottery though, no +8 winnings/2socs will exist. It would be +4 items and only eli 2 soc weapons/ normal 1 soc generics. Cps could be used to buy + stones, although cps won't be overflowing. Gold will be a reliant source of economy, cps just a small bystander. Much more is to be decided if this choice is finalized.

option 2:

exp: 3x
gold: 5x
cps: no
dbs: 5x
mets: 8x
+1: 5x
lottery: yes, but gold winnings only
db lv: no
socket chance only: no
donation overpower: ofc not

I enjoy the original lottery TQ released, so I'm not as excited for this choice. This would be more similiar to True Classic's server/rates, with kinks to sort out. CPs wouldn't exist here, gold being the only source of economy.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

PVP events wouldn't really be necessary to mention quite yet, I am in the process of setting up the binaries, and the official server wouldn't be released until somewhere in the midst of March (16/17th). Donations will be not so much needed, but players will be able to buy dbs for a cheap price. I plan for players to be able to compete, whether or not they've paid for extras. Noone will be maxed in the near future, w/o months of intense gameplay/donation.

I've seen people wishing there was an option 1 based server, and I agree with them no doubt. I really plan to dedicate myself to working to develop and maintain the server, and providing an active/involved community for others to join and experience. The server name has yet to even come to mind, but I would be glad to ask for people wishing to assist the development of my upcoming server.

Kudos, stigs.

Definitely option 1.
You should be coding your project for you though.
Don't worry about anyone else.

yes, i like 5017 a lot, i am trying to attempt hybrids bugless 5017 by arco, or 5071 by arco, but i am not sure witch to choose, as 5017 i don't know how much is done, abut packets and at 5071 i saw it has mores stuff to it, an warehouse NPC , wuxing oven, and few basic NPCs, that would help a lot of people in coding further.So i am asking for some information , or help ...

The 5017 has more things coded than the 5071.

@OP option 2 IMO, I don't like cps-drops.

Traditionally... "pseudo" is used to mean fake.
I'm not sure if that means that he's considering it or what, but I don't support CP drops either. I agree with everything else about option 1 though. It looks like he put a lot of thought into balance.

pseudo can be used in place of "gives the impression of" pseudo real-time for example means that it appears to be in real-time, when in actual fact it isn't.

Wheres option 3 btw? for "why do we have another thread for market research in this section", i don't mean to be funny but part of being a good server owner is using your initiative to come up with ideas which will entertain and be practical, spending forever and a day conducting endless market research just demonstrates that your initiative is your weakness and your server will be dull as a result.
