I didn't play UF all that much, and only made sparse GM appearences. Guess I'll have to unload the files to remember what it was like heh :/
@Shard
Fancy a consultancy position ^^? - Meanwhile I'd like to know your opinion on why AF is doing better in the poll than UF with regards to the things you mention.
@Shard
Item images contribute little over peoples feelings in a server. However weapons width and size does. Strange I know. As for the M2 - I could do it but can you honestly see me doing coding and server management at the same time lol. Totally agree with you with regards to the sturdy pvp feeling though. Anyone that disagrees has never PvP'd properly heh.
As for spells - if you remember the early alphas they didn't have things as rudamentary as icestorm till at least three weeks after server launch - didn't seem to affect anything. I'm open to new spells but they'll be tested first. All stats have counterstats . Not that I can talk of course - I'm pretty sure I gave warriors fireball.
Unfortunately the old skoolers probzo have moved on. Therefore to recruit the playercount nessacery your going to have to live with the younger... pk fodder.
@Shard
I could make around 50 - but I could counter them with 70 more. What I think is the most important thing to do in the first stage is find what gave the community the feel it had.
As I've said already to Senture - FrOzEn doesn't need to have the latest and greatest with a full graphics and feature set. They didn't make it popular the first time around. So filling capacity shouldn't be a worry.
@Shard
Leo does feel the same - but Id rather design a server people want to play than something I want to play. (Even tho FA was designed for that very reason in the dust of Missys Whippy and Charmed).

I played UF quite a lot actually. I got to...umm...level 43/44. WarShield, SuperAxe, man, lots of memories of that server. I think it was better than AF but I guess that's all down to opinion. Afaik it was AF with lots of things added ;o
About the position...I'm a tad slow and I just got confused Anyway, opinion on why AF is doing better...umm...I think it's because of a few things:
- The release of the files and quite a few of the current members having the files and having good memories of them.
- Possibly WeOwn starting out using those files, but I don't want to take credit for that lol
- ash1234's versions of FrOzEnServer due to those servers being quite recent and a lot of the current members having played them, again, memories of those servers.
The weapon size thing is quite interesting. I guess it just makes the holder seem...powerful hehe. I never did seem quite as powerful with a weapon skinned as a BloodStealer. Too fragile looking ;o
And yes, the PvP feeling of 1.4 is so different to that of the Ledu client. I remember warriors had MagicShield on UF and...I'm not sure what else they had ;o Maybe firebang at a higher level.
I just feel that the current community is very...graphics based. Private servers have been around a long time now, and, well, I feel that even I am quite bored of the same old item, weapon and armour skins. Things like this, and the latest mobs I think would draw people to a server. But, it's been a while since I've made a server and I'm probably very wrong in that statement.
WhIpLaSh, first private server I played properly...that was a good server. And yeah, I agree with you about that. Wanting the server to accommodate the potential player's wants and needs rather than the creators.
Will the creation of this server be an individual undertaking?
