Well, I've tried this server out for few hours now, and I'd like to share some problems about it. Keep in mind, I'm a hardcore roleplayer and I like it to be very realistic and difficult. This also means, that not everyone will be a lvl20 hero of the town. It just doesn't work like that!
First: The death
It's just too easy to get by. PvP is pointless, because you don't lose/gain anything (I know this has been discussed before) and PvE is all the same. 5% loss in experience doesn't mean anything, unless you can drop levels at the same time. Also, you can't lose any of your equipment and/or money (I'm not completely sure of this, but at least I didn't lose any when I died the first time). This death related stuff in whole doesn't make any sense, as it doesn't affect anyone in any way. So, what I'd like to see is more harsh death penalties, and tighter penalties for people randomly attacking each other without in character reason.
Second: Areas & scripted quests
I don't know if it's just me, or is it because this server is on beta-stage or what, but here are some of my feelings. Where are all the scripted quests? I didn't find a single one (I found a place where there could've been one, but I was too low level I guess). I haven't checked all the areas out yet, but I got a feeling that it was mostly some roleplaying sites (such as crossroads or what's it called) and towns with lots of shops and what not. The shops seemed to be quite pointless (many of them selling same kind of stuff, and a lot of inns and other places with nothing of interest).
And then, there's the areas with monsters, just randomly appearing all around (only tried the necropolis). Most of the characters wouldn't have any reason to go to these kind of places, but they still do. Just because that's the way to make your character better. It wouldn't be that hard to make a scripted quest around those areas, and only allow entrance to the group taking the job.
Might be just me, as I said earlier, I've been only playing for few hours, but this is the first impression I've gotten out of the server. Feel free to correct me![Smile](http://sundren.org/core//images/smilies/smile.png)
Cheers!
