1st of all, I appreciate initiative from dev team to try sort things out. • One REALLY important aspect that should be kept in mind - COMPLETE MAJORITY of community on this server IS THERE FOR RETAIL like stuff and overall game experience (excluding cosmetics obviously. That one works fine, as it is only cosmetics). • Reading the comments above, I can clearly see, that the point above is basically enforced by all of the people there, who care about the server. It seems like custom stuff will not only be taken with a sour taste from majority of existing players, but also can potentially harm online count regarding what is left on the server at the time. Take in consideration some recent servers experience where retail like play were disrupted with some custom touches, e.g. in Hatos x3 server: once custom stuff was included to try boost online, server went from low online to complete 0 in 1 to 2 weeks (NOT EVEN KIDDING.. 😞) Keep in mind, before "rework" server was running somewhere between 9-12+ months with low but steady online.. • But also regarding the try to revive Hatos, dev team did one brilliant thing, just before ruining it with customizations, and that was a CATCH-UP SERVER. •What does it mean? It was a new server that became a twin to the original, except having slightly higher x rate. And once catch-up server actually catches up the original (regarding items and preliminary overall progress), the merge happens so all new and old players who otherwise had left server before can have complete new experiences in new server and then can have ACTUAL CHANCE TO CONFRONT the old server players who's ruling the original server without any chance to get opposed by anybody anymore.. • Also regarding catch-up server it gains as much attention as any other NEW server that everybody is craving for, especially at this time of the year - people just want a new start! So having some BETA test server before the grand opening of catch-up server in accordance to some overall marketing and streamers could bring an unexpected amount of players to the Vanilla twin server and after the merge would completely reanimate the original Vanilla that we all fell in love with. I strongly suggest to consider suggested path instead of just playing "god" with customizations, as complete majority of players who left and the ones who continue playing in Vanilla, is there for retail like experiences after all. Choose wisely..
