Respectfully, that is what most of us love about this server, it is nostalgia, for the best times in PW. This is not a high rate, or highly modded server, it is, for the joy of reliving a great part of gaming history, the pure old school version, where everything we did had a purpose, and we had to work for each step in the progress of not only our own characters development, but, also cultivation of friendships, alliances, learning crafts to enhance our gaming experience, as well as creating income in game to sell, trade, auction, our wares, mats we farm, for those who do not want to farm, etc.
The server is far from dead, pvp does not require anything more than being lvl 30+, gear should not be easy, it shold require work, these things make for better quality skilled players, challenge is good , it keeps us interested, teaches us to play well, in teams, as well as solo. When I see a well geared, well played character , it makes me happy, to see that hard work and actual skill is a thing here, not a bunch of power levelled faceroll keyboard players who also become bored and jump server to server due to there being nothing to do...that is unfortunate in my opinion.
