I think this server deserves a review. Since i play on it for about 1 day, i found a lot of nice things that i liked. Server runs very smooth no lag/delay, it has some customs npc, but they do almost nothing to the retailness of the game, so about 80% of the game is in retail mode, and the most important parts, regarding buff times/crafts are intact, so this in my opinion is a good thing for a low rate.

The website is beautiful, very well designed, and offers a lot of information, and if you're going to play on server, you'll have to use it, at least on start, when they introduced some " path of honor " thing, that gives you different packs with gear/pots , that will help you a lot to get started and climb through levels with no help from other players, just log off game, go to website, choose reward, then check you're private inventory in game.You have items from those packs you recive from website, so gear/shots/buffs are not a problem, for some hours at least.

What I didn't like, was the adena drop rate, imo was really low, I reached level 50 with 1st proff, beacause i didn't had 1.5kk to change my prof., but the drop rate of adena, is balanced with good rates of quests that give adena, so... there are options, I just didn't want to bother with them, so I grinded like an idiot, but... as I said, adena rate on quests is great, and it would be smarter to do some quest, then to grind. At higher level, adena drop dosen't improve much also, but again, it's all ok, with quest.

Server has some nice feauture, that i didn't explored yet, something similar i guess to the dragon-network servers, were you could craft mana pots, and stuff, but it's a lot more complex, and i didn't bothered with it yet, but I think it's a good addon.

About population, is low... i think there aren't more then 15-20 players atm, with some maximum on line of 36 or so, but i belive there were some boxes there, still the server seems serios, it's .de domain, and they do have a very pro website, with pro feauters, so it might not turn to dust soon, and they have another server that is running from some time(don't know how long).

Overall, I can't find anything to complain about it, maybe about 3rd prof. requirements, that needs AA and can't get it for 1 week, QQ, but other then that... it's a very good server, as i've seen so far.
