I'll be honest, you ruined this server from day 1 by letting others keep the advantage of extra levels. Yes, this is not a serious problem in itself and in the end didn't make too big a difference, but it's the principle of the fact that you did nothing to stop or even try to correct things that went wrong, and tend to the majority of users who were angry. This caused many, many players who would be loyal, leave. This was a huge mistake.
Your first server was a success for as long as it lasted, then you two seemed to give up. This server was not a success. I can only hope you learn your mistakes and put together a decent server. So far in my eyes you're almost as bad as IceMan at making servers. Sure you can Code all these fancy amazing features (which is your strong point) but when it comes to balance and "fair", it just seems to not exist. Listen more to the majority of players. Stop being defensive about everything.
Just my 2 cents.
Yes your right about that , thats was our deadly mistake and i can take all the blame on me . Wont happen ever again .
Anyways this time i wont get involved anymore in server plans , luke will take all the decisions and i will be only be his slave coder.
and i'm still working on removing my defensive attitude :P
