1. I know Th3On3 from the L2J forums and no offense meant, but that kid is so lost sometimes. lol
2. Wow, main site redirect page, ugly and huge.
3. First thing ANY player should see when they get to the actual "site" (ie. forums for you guys) is connection info. Don't make them hunt around for it.
4. Donations are a bit lulz.
"Nobless (with skills) = $30 USD
Change Sex = $10 USD
Change Race = $10 USD
Name Change = $10 USD
250 Recommends (Blue Name) = $25 USD"
Really? $30 for noble?
Sex, Race, Name change $10 each? That's like what, a few seconds of changing a field or two in the characters table? 250 recs for $25? C'mon guys. lol.
Think about it this way... you can offer these services for retarded prices and have very very very few people ever use them. OR! You can offer the services for like $5 each and have MORE people inclined to use them later on. I'd rather take 5 people spending $5 each than none of them spending $10 each.
5. Wow, the gatekeeper is terribly laid out/designed.
6. Looks like something in the starter area kicks me. Never gotten that on any other server and I'm running the latest CT2 client. Awesome. Edit: lol, I bet I know what it is. You guys have GG enforcement turned on probably. Trust me, that'll keep your numbers down for sure. Yeah, disabling GG enforcement means nabs can run bots and use hlapex, BUT, with the restrictions now in place in the L2J code and with a few further exploit prevention mechanisms you can write in (I half ass my way around java and still came up with enchant exploit prevention code, haha), it should be of no issue.
7. The lack of attention to detail overall so far shows that this server has a long way to go before it'll be ready for funz.
