Well I totally welcome the idea of a new server. Just a few tips and questions
Tips
1. Remove the "soon" from this server, if you will be able to give people accurate ETA's (i'm not talking about launch date) on updates / changes you will have a big +
2. Remove all custom pots except MANA pots
3. Have "normal" working 7 signs
4. Retail like raidbosses (not the epic bosses, but the normal map raids)
5. Have LOTS of events (SMALL rewards) but as many events as possible, especially at server start
6. Add c + low b-grade at shops
7. Retail like spoil with the equivallent chance and quantity for 20x server. Same for drops
8. Working recipe / mats quests for s-grade and higher with the equivalent 20x reward (NOT 20x reward but as much to match the speed at which you are leveling)
9. Harsh punishment for botting
10. Do not add at donation manager the high end items until after the first few months (1-2), or add them incremently (after 1 month s-grade, after 2 month's dynasty and others etc etc).
11. If you'll be making dn subs same as on other DN servers let chars that have quest horn in inventory be able to hit golky but not sub'ed chars.
Questions, well I have only 1
1. Dual box allowed ? I would recommend a 2 box / pc rule

Thank you for suggesting, we will consider them 1 by 1, just 1 small notice even we are x20 server (on EXP), i think we wont have x20 spoil/drop/.... x20 is too much and is pretty much boring after a while, we wont have 1x but something that match players in fair level (x10?-12?-15?) we will see thats easy to setup anyway, thanks again.

i knew you would misunderstood, i wasn't to explicit. i'm not saying 20x drop and 20x spoil but higher rates than 1x to match the speed you are leveling.
if u want this server to work , reduce the custom things as much as possible , if its retail i dont mind playing in this server
u said there will be Dynasty / Icarus weapons
it will be much better to be only dynasty weapons , Dynasty armors ( the official ones ) not the Dnet set custom made
so
1- Retail
2- No icarus
3- no dnet sets only official dynasty
good luck

Exactly, roger that.
P.S. About eta we didnt say soon or anything we said +/- end of march start of april (1st quartal of april for sure, but can happen earlier), more we progress with work faster we will open server, and of course inform you all in time.
Are the coins used for donny etc. tradeable? If so, it won't take long before these D coins or event coins or what so ever take over economy as main currency and adena becomes totally useless, (I'd advise starting with high adena rate for newcomers and slowly decreasing it)
Make something u don't have on DN. No point for another 5x.
20x or 50x are good options.
about b-grade at shops well aden has low b grade.

I can't agree with you. I think it's a bullshit, and after 2 month this server will be like the others. Im not absolutely againts donation, but i prefer the donation system where i can donate only for name or six change hats and other shits....
