A bit of criticism

[SuperTom]

Right first of all and maybe its not my place to say but the guys and gals that put hundreds of hours work into this server do a good job and constantly improve the server as a whole. I have been on for about 3 months now and really enjoy it. The areas are welll made and look fantastic.
There are no scripted quests which if you ask me its a roleplay server where characters interact with one another make alliances and enemies which adds to the story as a whole and is player led not just a repeat of the same quest you got last time.
The dm's on the server do a good job and create quests that are interesting and with the correct level of reward for the characters involved.
Regarding death penalties, now again it might just be me but if you lost equipment and levels for dying some character classes would struggle to make it up a level at all, where would be the fun for players in that?
Basically i think you need to be on the server for longer before pointing out criticisms with it, i also think i wont be alone in my thoughts on this.

anyways take it easy!

1. 5% Is little? Once your high level, you'll start crying.

2. We don't have quests yet, and I think the areas are quite beautiful, and whats wrong with roleplaying sites? this is a roleplaying server. And this is still a beta.
The people going into necropolis? If you haven't noticed, the necropolis is full of treasures, and theres lots of people who want treasure or gold. Then theres the paladins who want to smite evil and undead, and finally, people who hate undead due to their past or so. And, most of us are adventurers looking to become richer and stronger. The quests will be coming soon enough, and if you first started then went to necropolis, thats a place for the high levels.. You'd easily get killed, and im not sure about the monsters randomly appearing, the ones at the gates are because people keep standing around the necropolis chatting. its a place full of undead and danger, that wasn't what the dms really wanted us to do.

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

Cheers!
