hey,
i readed the treath and in 1 way it is just inposseble to do it
its not easy to debug the complete system to make +255 avaible to compose (rewriting the server file ?? )
the main point of a private server is that there is ep drop , some extra things you dont got on the normal game or you need to pay XXX for (like vip level cost 150$ to get vip level 1 :S )
then there is a difference betwean highrate and low rate
high rate are for players that love to compose and dont want to do anyhting els then compose (isnt that easy ??) and focus the most time on money (i dont say every1 does it )
then the low rate servers are based on gameplay like the normal eo (atleast my server then :P) and they dont got extra things , just easyer to get but we focus us on the gameplay and bugs to fix , we stay at a stable release to (probaly 1 of the oldest clients at this moment :S but whit a lot of fixes in it )
it all depends how you want to play
the donations depends from server to server
the 1 want to make profit and set some nice stuff online that you can only buy ( 4 summon ?? , 5 summon ?? , +255 equip and so on , you get the point :P)
then other servers doesnt care of profit that mutch , they want to have fun and development and a long playlist of players that plays for months/years instead of a couple of days and just use the money for 99% to the server to provide better servers
so , its what you like , they are both funny to play on , but depending what your game style is (going for friends and legions and guilds and pk tour and you care of prices ?? or just want to have a quick gameplay whit a lot of pk and doesnt care about bugs and prices ?? )
so , to create a ideal server is hard to know what you need to do
in any way , i tryed to create as 1 of the first for a low rate server (i guess) and i am buzzy whit it for about 7 months now and got a top of 127 player and now back to 20 players because a rollback (yes , they care about it )
so , its up to you to choose your game server you like , but you will never find your ideal server (or create 1 on your own ) because there need to be a line somewhere to make it good
if i going give away +255 items then i go for the money , if i dont do it then its fair play but then its not your ideal server anymore ?? can you get what i mean ??
ok , that was it then what i wanted to say
for the rest , i wish you good luck whit finding your ideal server

i got my ideal server like i always wanted it (bugfree and normal gameplay) or that is atleast what i try to do :P
