This thread is here for one reason.

WHAT DO PLAYERS WANT TO SEE IN AN ACTIVE SERVER?


-=Things that will not change=-
Quote:
-No Free Silk. (There may be Silk per hour, But not much).

-XP/SP Rate will not be above x15 (Slow XP Rates give players something to work towards)

-Party XP/SP Rates will be a lot higher than solo grinding. (Silkroad is about playing together!)

-Free Equipment/Weapons (Will NEVER be done, Work for those items!)

-Alchemy Rates will be LOW, Anything above +5 is supposed to feel RARE!

-SoS/SoM/Sun Will ALWAYS drop from mobs with a low rate. (The way they were intended to be obtained)

-Bots will be allowed, but there will be an IP Limit, Anyone caught breaking that Limit will be IP Banned for life (Cheats will not be tollerated).

-English will be the only spoken language ingame, Guild can use whatever language they want, but General chat and Globals will ONLY be in english.

Will be adding to the list.

When there is enough information i plan on releasing a 3000slot server that will run solely on donations.

That won't work out well, don't you think?

with low XP rates players will want to bot, It's better to moderate the amount of bots than to ban them outright. That way you give the players the opportunity to play fairly, and with 1 bot per IP, And high Party rates, players will want to be active to maintain party positions

Literally impossible. You have to be smarter and find a better solution, which by the way, nobody in the scene knows yet, although its very obvious.

Personally i would love to start working on this server as soon as possible.
Getting real sick of all the trash servers with 20 players.
Remember the early days? When severs had like 2500/3000 online at all times?
