So recently I have seen various peoples feedback on servers / upcoming servers etc.

From new servers, do people still want that old Nostalgic feel of Bichon Wall, Mud Wall and all the caves; or are they looking for the Mir Gameplay with a completely new layout?

I like new attacks and maps n mobs

I like BW / MW for SZ's but i'd rather see completely revamped Maps / Item skin's really. Only reason i say keep BW / MW because they're clean / light maps which make good places to chill and converse with people.

So if you were to play a server. Would you prefer the Euro layout or a custom layout... or a Hybrid like TPR *with smaller maps!*
(as long as everything else was good (features, balance etc))

ahh so BW / MW for "Hub" Maps
But completely reskinned everything, all caves looking different, and different mobs for different areas (so Woomas could be renamed and become end game content,and not reside in the classic temple anymore) - for example?

Pretty much, i think thats why Valkyrie got so much respect everything was fresh, at this point im sick of even seeing the same old boring name of items / caves lol, even then people requested BW as the Home map for there. I think you have to keep some sort of nostalgia in Mir.

I really like the current @home map on Primordial, just think the outside of the town should be down sized, its ******* massive to run across xD

BW or small similar home
Custom item names
New content caves/mobs
Fun Quest Line
QoL spells (example warrior early grind)
End Game items in place before launch
Higher HP pools end game
More classes
PvE love
No lifers / Casuals brought together

Exp rate doesn’t really matter if it’s done right but medium seems good.

Nostalgic feeling only works for me if there a massive 200+ UC server like prime Apoc / Chrons / Marble etc, i just don't get that same feel of getting a rare item on a low user count server, just my opinion but that's the only time i think it work's for euro based server's, if the UC is massive.
