Totaly up to you, you have to try and keep a balance of whats boring and whats not boring through the creation of a server, you could even do bits of each at a time and just work at doing all three at once.
Just decide which would allow you to keep the best attention span lol.

I like to do it in order that i can keep track on, for example, i start by laying out the homezone, making sure it has everything players will need.
Then i do low level levelling caves, to high.
Then once everything that is needed is added, i add things such as quests and new features.
Then i do low level levelling caves, to high.

Firstly set out the homezone, with all the basic npcs.
The begin on the other maps, caves.
Then add the mobs.
Then add the drop files.
During doing all this i create the items.
As items can spawn cave/monster ideas, and vice versa.
I also add any quest ideas during all this, by placing an npc in the spot i think, then adding a basic idea of quest to be worked on later.

the way i normally do it is
Mobs , then map then drops (because drops dnt have to be in the files to be able to hunt in a area) mobs should normally go first so that whilst maps are beeing made mobs can be checked then once the maps on open it up and check with the mobs on the map.
its more personal prefrence, i mean loads of ppl do drops then mobs with there spawns togeva then finnaloy add the map or do drops add map then add mobs, ither way a map can have "old" mobs in it to test the map then add the new mobs, but in general the mobs r the easyest as u can copy and paste a collum for a mob and rename it then change the look and adjust once the drops are done and complete.
or theres add them all in 1 go then call it a "update".
like i say its all personal prefrence tho

u referin 2 OS?... u tryin to be sarcastic by by sayin "update" or soemthing?
personally when i started OS... i set out aplan in a notepad... then added as follows
-sorted a homezone and all npcs
-sorted all mapinfo and mapmove for all caves
-all items,
-then added mobs, and used them items to test the strengths,
-then did drop files
nowa days i just build ontop of whats alrdy there .. when i add a cave i do it in this order
-mapinfo
-mapmove (door coords)
-monster
-spawns
-any new items i wanna add
-drop files
i also did it bons way with the notepad, just sorta setting it out as
make HomeZone
Add Npc's as Needed
Items for level 1-25 (if its a slow exp server if not then u will need more levels there like 40-50 etc its all up to u)
Cave
Mobs
Change Some Mob Stats
ETC u can see how its going
but wen i "sorted" it i simply put a "*" at the end then if a bug was reported i wud put a "/" so u know that this has had a bug (make it easyer the next time u come round to it)
hope that kinda makes sence, yet agen its all to do with the way peopke like to do things really
