IF it's just pieces and parts of newer expansions spliced into Legendary Crusade, don't waste your time. I'm not interested in such a thing whatsoever. If it's not the CoW patch at least with the afforementioned gears etc, I have little to no interest. One can only package, re-package, and re-label and re-do so many aspects of an older expansion before it becomes boring no matter what you add to it. Not to mention the fact that players will want some kind of donator shop where someone can just put money into the game and get endgame gear materials with little to no effort. If there IS going to be a legitimate new WOI server, I'd MUCH prefer seeing one without that kind of bs. Make EVERYONE work for their stuff the SAME way and don't give any special priveliges to any players for putting money in. Don't give them special items, pets etc. If they wanna donate, give them extra zen for the ingame market. Reduce the zen market prices but do not make it free. (Free markets usually screw the game economies from the get-go) Make people have to put in effort for leveling up. Exp rates should be no higher than say..x50 or x60 for Drops/exp. This comes back to MAKING the players put in effort to reap the rewards. If people truly want to play the game and it's set up like that, they will stay. People who just wanna be the top of everything and want more than half of that climb handed to them on a silver platter can bugger off. Oh...and as for the staffing since P-servers everywhere seem to have some kind of staff issues going on. Have one to three Dev's at most. One for the website, two to code and check each other's work for applying changes to the server and making sure they run smoothly. As for GM staff? Make them stay away from normal player interaction. They should only be speaking when announcing maintenance or GM events of some sort. If players have questions and somehow end up ingame asking for a GM, have players direct them to the support system or the server's forum section. It's not rocket science but so many people are ignorant of how it is easier than it sounds to do. People will complain that this idea for a set up is lame and that it's slow or low rates or that my idea only benefits ME specifically and that's where you'd be wrong. A set up like the one I've described would promote the idea that EVERY single player has the same fair chance to power up, level up, and get to where they want to be if they put in the effort. So please hush with the naysaying on an idea of this kind. Because quite frankly I know more people than not would say it's a great idea and way to set it up.
