 What do you guys look for in a server?
I know 90% of you don't even play EO anymore, but if you did, what would you guys look for in a private server? o.o

If the starting map's not so great, would you quit?

Custom Maps, class based, quests, class only equips, maybe some custom items here and there but not to many

Re: What do you guys look for in a server?
Well, I look for quite a lot of things.
The main thing I look for is a story line. Something that grabs me and keeps me wanting to play.
The second thing is custom art work. I dislike EO items. They look so blah.
The third thing would have to be the difficulty of the server. I like a challenge in my personal opinion.
The fourth thing would have to be maps. Better the maps, the better I want to wander around!
The final thing would have to be side quests. I want to be able to do something after I beat the main story. Rather than just train, I would personally go on
quest to get gear and such.
One last one that's just something that should be inferred, is good admins. A good staff keeps from players complaining on how bad they are and keep them playing without fear. ---
You're all fags.

Tis the same for me.
Except one thing about this, is that no matter how "good" a staff team could be, no matter how many custom items, no matter how many custom/great maps, no matter how many quests, etc., there will ALWAYS be at least one player that's going to complain, to be honest. This is because a lot of
people in today's society just do a lot of wanting, wanting, and more wanting, and they'll never be content with what they are already getting. Even though they're getting a lot already, and they keep getting more things + updates to the story/quests/custom gfx/etc. A lot of people now a days won't
be happy that they're getting anything at all, and they only get happy about the things that are released IF they want it. Which, I never understood why people are like this. In reality, the developer's really don't have to update their game at all.
Just wanted to kinda point that one thing out. Not only that, but look back in the old days, and look at Kyle's team. It may have changed now, but I wouldn't know. Haven't played in a while. Back then, he had a horrible staff.. They were okay at pixeling and mapping, sure. However, when it
came to actually moderating the server, they weren't really that great, in my opinion. They took things too far, and made them 10x worst than it should have been in the first place. Yet, there's always been so many people playing the game. You can't really go off of the staff team to determine the
contentness of the players, but you can go off of how good or bad the staff team is, in your own personal opinion, for whether you stay or not.
I, personally, would rather have respectful, honest, active, and hard-working staff members. No matter their job; developer, administrator, moderator, etc.

Admins that abuse their powers or act like children (on 90% of the private servers) make me leave. Bad maps make me leave, weapon damage 100000-50000? makes me leave. I like weapons with normal damage. Npcs so 50 hp, dmg: 2-7 or w/e. And good maps. The coding doesn't really interest me too
much.

Good Community is what I seek for the server and none of these servers (atm) have it. (Ananas EO & BWP was exceptions.)

The server needs to have good pixels, good maps and an interesting theme to the game. It also needs to have an aim for people like a really good armor/weapon that everyone can strive for.

Mostly good maps. And I wouldn't want anyone to replace the regular EO items with shitty ones.
And if your going to make custom items don't go crazy/overboard with it.
And nice staff and not a lot like 20 lvl 4 admins and 10 players.
Also make us work for items and not make sheep drop 10k and give 1m exp. < - THAT'S STUPID
Quests, Pets ( That can buff stats and lvl up ) , BTW Please don't make pet eggs health pots and stupid stuff like that. Make your own egg.
A casino would be nice but don't make it where you drop money on floor to increase or decrease, Pixel some machines.
Also don't make stupid stuff like an white crow or pink goat.
If your going to make your own NPC's make the monster clear, Not all blurry where it looks like you did it with your toes.
That's all really, Just a nice clean environment.
