SupremeL2 Interested in Feedback

SupremeL2 is interested in the possibility of opening a high-rate server for the casual gamer. A lot of people have asked us to open one, so we're thinking about it. Rates would be 80x++, probably 100x or close to there. After 80x though rates aren't even that important since it becomes a PVP server. We're not looking to steal from our own population by opening a 2x, 3x, 10x, 20x, 35x, or something similar.

Things we 100% agreed on:

Retail buff times / dance/song times / reuse times
Retail skill balance (maybe a few changes)
No 1/2/3 class change quests
No dual boxing / botting
Shop with NG - B/A grade items, plus shots, plus basic things (not really final)

Things we thought of adding:

Weekly sieges
Faster Seven Signs rotation
Customized drops due to rates
PVP reward system??
Custom Zariche system??

Donations haven't really been thought out, but anything we'll add will be fairly minimal (maybe Enchant scrolls and 100% recipes for S grade, or something like that). No Boss Jewels, no +25 S grade, no Epic-OMG-Pwnzor-IMSOCOOL-HR-Armors with ridiculous stats, and no All-in-One ****.

Everything else we are open to for suggestions. Preferably from HR players who'd actually come play. We're really interested in what will keep people on the server for more than 2 weeks. What has really made high-rate servers successful for the players who play them, and what hasn't.

Since our 5x and 15x server are our focus, we don't plan on doing extreme client modding or extreme server customization with this server, but who knows where things will go.

This same post will probably be made on some other forums. We're just looking for input atm. This idea isn't even final yet, but we are curious what people think.

Thanks for any feedback.

P.S. No flames / childish posts in here. If you don't like us, then don't post in here.

It's kind of strange that a staffmember of sl2 is posting here.
Since most people that would state here that they play on your server would get banned.
Anyways,
a highrate server is a nice idea for casualgamers. A highrateserver could also be used to get higher amount of donations, because you could offer items / safe enchants since it is a pvp server and there people would not be as angry as if peopl could get if you give out items / enchants for donates on your lowrateservers.

Me and like 5 of my friends where going to play on your low rate but it was too annoying because
1.) You level so fast and you do not get a proportional ammount of adena . . . . thus you hit level 40 and can almost still be in No Grade . . . .
You should up your low rate Adena rate just alittle bit so that people could atleast afford top d grade b4 hitting level 40. . .
2.) The Buff times where annoying . . . you should up them to atleast 25 Min. . .Im not gona level a PP / EE/DEE/COv just to have 20 Min to party. . . =/

Other than that I really liked your server

But it was actually more easy to get Adena on retail than it was on your server lol . . . which is kinda stupid. . . on retail by time I hit 40 im in atleast TOPd / Low C . . . ( and i was also playing a spoiler on your server and was still almost broke). . . even selling mats to people . . . on your low rate server your first char has to always be a dwarf or your gona be farming for the rest of your life. =/
My dream Server would be
If you open a High Rate PvP server
it should have.
1) 1 Hour Buffs (But No Npc Buffs past Level 40) Ie: you have to level your own buffers)
2) Atleast one PvP zone
3) A custom Drop / LvL zone
4) No Donations (or donations for things like Quest Skip/hats/some special drops but no augments/enchants)
5) Dual boxing allowed

If you had all that I would consider playing there but for now i keep my *** on L2forever cause its tonz of fun PvP
The time of Grinding on low rates is done for me . . . can't stand it anymore I wasted like 3 years on low rate / retail and it got BOOORING
Action rox / leveling a char is almost as dull as reading a book past level 25

Also what a lot of servers don't do that I like is having a custom Zone like with custom Mobs (not on PI or Mos or the like...) Put some creativity into it Devs Lol . .. its not retail you don't have to make it exactly like retail all the time . . . if people wanted a low rate retail liek server they would play guess where? ON RETAIL lol .. . . people play on private servers mostly to have fun/ not escape the 14$ fee.
