sorry for my real bad english
I play RO more than 6 years... 4 years i play on many different russian servers, and last 2 years i play on phil\usa, etc around the world servers.
What a main problem of servers, and why they die (i mean why online come from server?).
1.) Main problem it's GM's! When i did't see GM online i am happy. Why? Because by 6 years experience, i know 95% of theys corrupt! Thats MAIN PROBLEM OF ALL SERVERS!
2.) Imbalance items! What some? as like i play on some very good server (hello Jeffrey) server was be great! really! no custom and etc. GM done all server\client side. only what players must to do - PLAY! nothing more! GM thing "i do small work, need more" and add REALLY IMBA ITEMS as like 90% neutral reduce, or 120% reflect magic spell. sure, after that ~ 70% online go to other servers, beacause only 5 players was can rule in arena, etc 60 peoples cannot.
3.) LAGs! But thats not big problem if is "long distance from server", if server good lags not problem, (i use socks proxy, or sock's proxy services (hello wowping.ru, myfreedom); But when server LAG! thats is imba bad!;
4.) I hate "very defenced servers". as like harmony + some etc defence shield? Why? it's easy - because sometimes you find server for rest, not for mobbing, looting etc. and very good servers, where "allowed" botting (but in normal ".....", no as like 24\7\31\365 hunting).
5.) I hate communityes, and not friendly servers! as like when i start to play on "world" servers, (before that i play only on servers (russian)) i was dont know english (now i dont know english too) i was "unhappy" when i ask "guys, please, help me, show me where's JOB CHANGER??" and they start trashtalk to me.
BEST SERVER, where GM create AROUND HIM AND HIS SERVER GREAT HELPFUL COMMUNITY, VERY KIND, AND STRONG IN PVP\WOE;
6.) Children GM's or SchoolGM's
7.) Donate orientired server.
8.) No updates!
в нескольких словах это:
1.) Корумпированные админы.
2.) Лаги серверной стороны (не хостинга).
3.) Школьники ГМы
4.) Донат ориентированные сервера
5.) Имба вещи.
6.) Нет квестов, тупое PVP;
7.) Дохрена защит, что играть становиться не выносимо (потому что нужно играть честно).
