So I figured as time goes on people's ideal server rates change and I wanted to see how the community has changed over time and what they consider to be the best rates for a LoM 3 Server. Figured this would provide context to anyone who is currently creating a server and may give them ideas on what the community as a whole generally would like to see going into 2020 and beyond.
Feel free to post any additional information on what you would like to see in the future along with the rates you prefer in general.
So me personally I'd like to see a Mir 3 server preferabally using Zircon files as they are built pretty well with Mid-Low rates as I feel everyone in general is bored with the 1-50 for the old skills grind and PVP/PK doesn't really get fun until then. So for me ideally I think the server I'd be most looking forward to playing would be one where 1-44 is mid rate that transitions into low rates later on.
As for what features I would like to see on the Zircon files in general.
1. Return of Pet taming for wizards but none that are fully ranged or OP more of a minor damage buffer between the wizard and the enemies.
2. Return of Pet Rental .
3. Lottery System.
4. Fair Cash/hunt gold shops nowt op in them.
5. Comfort reworking to be actually useful before 20 and not broken at 20+
6. Old Mir2 caves like ghoul, Slave, Mystery dungeon.
7. Better rewards for grouping
9. Parts changed to schematics and use a combination of the none used ores and booty to craft the items them self with a chance of failure and 4-5 schematics.
10. New features like what Ancient server is currently creating for there server. Not just another clone of Zircon files with a minor tweak here and there.
11. Old Style Hermit System.
12. Classes rebalanced properly Currently on the Zircon files there are a number of spells that I find quite unbalancing to the classes e.g Defiance matching Max to min values, Magic shield providing a 40% damage reduction, Taoist Celestial light not having a resonable cooldown after it procs, Bloom damage scaling on the assassins scaling poorly. These are just a few of the problem I see with the classes in general on the Zircon files.
Will say in 2019 the only server I've seen trying to create something new and orignal with these files is @Lionsm!ght @Fub4r they have both put a lot of time and effort into building what should be the best low rate mir3 server the community will see for hopefully a long time. They have also reworked caves to acomidate different elements which for some reason doesn't seem to get done on almost all the servers that have been released in 2019.
