Look, no offence to those who've stepped up and spent their time providing a working pserver to everyone out there but I have to ask the question now... what the hell are you doing?
So many, TOO many of you are using a standard, old and stale code base. You're either using the original zzerachiel code175 or using an updated mapserver without any knowledge about what you can actually do.
Pservers, great for the community... or so you may think. However what's happening now is this entire scene has become splintered and stale because no-one is driving forward development that needs to be done.
Some basic balancing can be done to the skills like adjustments to the ridiculous dekan hero skills but what about other balances that need doing? What about changes to the blunt mastery formula which is years out of date and is one of biggest priorities for overall balancing? What about changes to the vit/HP system which is far and above pretty much any MMO for its tanking capabilities?
Why haven't you done anything with mini-bosses? Why haven't you adjusted the imbalanced and OP output of Bezes/Wraths/FDs? Why haven't you provided a fair balance between crafting, forges and drops? Why haven't you changed the drop table and mob levels for Ronelia/Kallistia/Gratt/R5? Why haven't you added chests to these areas? Why haven't you adjusted spawn times and mob density?
All you're concentrated on is fucking rates and free items to entice as many indos as you can to your server when you have no skills or intentions to fix any of the core problems within the game.
You're actually destroying the fragile Rohan playerbase with your shit and very soon there won't be any population to draw from. Poor Yurneroo's gonna be farting from Mt Everest expecting everyone to smell it when his all new Rohan engine arrives in 2015 and he finds there's no-one interested left to play it, in between his impending legal battle with YNK that he believes won't happen.
So, the summary. Stop being so fucking greedy and self-important by having a "working" pserver. Invest in some actual R&D, get some progress going. Stop being so fucking elitist thinking that what you have is so uber that you can only sell it to the highest bidder. Within reason, share it with those who can make good use of it.
There won't be a pserver scene within a year if you carry on like this. Those who simply do not have any sort of skills to edit this game, step away from this scene and close your shitty pserver. Those who can contribute, let's all get together and share our resources and make this game as epic as it should be.
