My opinion:
items all look the same, looks tacky, millions of images out there to use
lvl 44 kit is worse stats than 38, dont understand why?
most armours all use same name ‘robe’ so you need pick up to see if its the right class
lvl40-50 bosses drop sun pots that are level 60 to use
hell cave drops pots that have weight 45 each
leveling curve is all wrong, once you get to hell cave you get 275k exp a mob, can do lvl50-51 like 3 times quicker than 49-50
level 55 kit as hp on rings, to much hp kit ingame to unbalance loads, take a level 46 in essence kit which can get more than 300hp from, fighting a level45 as a massive hp advantage.
balancing on server is totally wrong, needs alot of work to balance it out
level 55-60 skills dropping from mobs in a level40 cave, seems strange.
is this still planning on going live this weekend? As once you balance it back out it could do with being tested a bit more before launch, would rather wait around for it to not be a 1 week server.
Try have a little more tact when offering your opinion. Its not like he plans to make any money out of the server, hes doing it for nostalgic reasons and to give people something to play.
I agree with some points you raised but not all. For ex, the armours do not look tacky. He has spaced the levelling / new item reward points really well in my opinion. The + hp items come at the right time too, just as you can get into zt where things hurt a lot more. He has also not done what a lot of servers do and that is put loads of multi stat rings and items with 10 ac 10 amc etc meaning that u get the hp boost for the harder caves but to really get stuck in the higher content you benefit greatly from having a tao with you but can solo a little easier due to the extra hp if you really want to. The way he has done it promotes group play which can only be a good thing end game.
There are some balancing issues here and there but as others have said, if you listen to the recommendations of your testers and work on putting them into play then the server has good potential.
Take your time, don't be rushed by people and if you need to call on players to test specific things then do so!
Good luck mate.

I know that but even with a tao buff and in full ac kit, still cant hunt there at level50 and its supposed to be a 45 cave, if there was a alternative 45 cave i wouldnt mind but there isnt.
The archers are fine. Minu and Sined owned Zt when I levelled with them. Your issue isn't the mobs. It's the fact you haven't got tempest yet.
That said, sined got to 51 easily before I gave him tempest. (Level 45 uber firewall skill), kill bosses until u get the book then go back and watch how easily that cave gets owned. Or do what the other highest level wizzies/(ranked top 2) on server did and level in despair KR where the mobs are packed and give great exp in between bossing for books.
Don't expect to be able to nuke every single cave you walk into straight away.
If I was playing wiz I would have been e shocking archers and luring the other mobs away so I can aoe until tempest or drake storm dropped (multi coloured met strike which also drops off normal zt mobs along with tempest). Once u get either of those it's GG over for most caves.
Try to use a bit of a smarter approach to how you play before you tell gm he's got it all wrong mate.
