I'd love to start with Epic 6 and slowly patch it up to 7.2 to give players the opportunity to progress through the content as intended by the original developers. Overall the rates for exp, drops, quests and taming will be close or slightly lower than official. Rappelz lives off of grinding, be it in dungeons or the open world, and thus I wish to recreate the old experience. Getting an orc or pixie should feel amazing and running around with angels, hawks and so on should be a privilege, not the standard. On that note once applied I also plan on adjusting quest exp here and there, namely the witch series, simply to push players back into Crystal Valley and Veiled Island respectively. Expect reaching R5, 6 and 7 being rough and not something you'll do in a week or two. This is the only major change I have in mind and everything else will mirror the vanilla experience as close as possible. That being said forget about easy enchanting, world buffs or buff npc's in general. Want those juicy cm, cleric and kahuna buffs? Better level one up yourself or party with those classes.
On that note I also refuse to include a cash shop. I am not sure yet if handing out cash shop items as rewards for events is a feasible concept but all the good stuff such as consumables and decoratives might be available in HV. Which, of course, will be available to everyone. However this is just an early concept because I'll have to figure out how to balance prices of these items accordingly. There is nothing cool in Stamina Savers when popping them is just a nuisance so don't expect being able to run them 24/7. Also I'm no charity and since there will be no actual cash shop the server will run on voluntary donations simply to cover the uptime costs. Which, rest assured, won't be that much since the hardware is already online and chilling in my basement.
ETA is March 2021 but I'll eventually open a seperate thread for this in the near future.

This is exactly what is needed!
You can even go upgrade throughout the time up to epic 8 just make it suitable and should work!
You should also supposed to farm in fields before you can even go into dungeons...
Thats what the mobs are there for
