I think that in the case of this server, a restart is actually the right choice. You can see that there is love and passion behind it and that the people behind the server seriously want to create something "different". You could definitely have made more money quickly with other concepts (to all those who say this would be a cashgrab move).
When you play Project Luxu you just dive into another world, a bit like when you came home from school and started Metin2 straight after lunch.
It's just not a concept that all servers are currently pursuing with thousands of metin spawns in one spot and even if you have hit 5k metins, you have the feeling that you haven't gained anything at all. Here it somehow feels more "rewarding".
I think the restart is largely due to the realization that players today are still used to a standard of QoL that this server doesn't currently meet. Also, forcing players into group dungeons without a solo dungeon option may not be the best decision (if group dungeon, then please have an automatic dungeon queue).
It would also be nice if they could manage to get a reasonable balance of all 8 classes as far as PvM is concerned. Just asking for a tank sura/warrior is not enough if nobody wants to play it because it does no damage to metins.
If these points are implemented within 1-2 months, then you have a good chance of establishing a very strong server.
In any case, I wish you every success!
