What about this idea?
I'm used to host servers for friends&family or player clubs (real roleplay clubs for example), where only people allowed can enter and play the server, invitation is the only way to play that servers.
The usual config for that server is:
I know that OTservers open/close and people are always worried about that (I'm the first one worried about my characters on that servers I enjoy playing)
I play a lot of old school server that open/close, but never go far level 40-50 because of that, that led me to the idea of host my own server.
The idea behind this server it's to give an opportunity to people who wants to play an old school 7.4 server but without the cons of a money based server that will be dead sooner or later.
My idea is to host and let the people play for free for at least 6 months or a year, but only allow to join trough invitation (from me or from another actual player) to keep not involved players out. If the server gets a good base of players, then let the people decide: open the server to public or maintain it invitation only.
My intention it's to keep the server without shop, only donation or patreon based to help me on the maintenance. I want people to enjoy the whole game and if you like the server and want to stay in donate what you want when you want to help us (or no donate at all, but be polite and respectful during your time playing).
The last option its to open that server to the public without need of an invitation, but i doubt it will work or not.

The usual config for that server is:
- The map is RL 7.4 (no Dark Cathedral, Pits of inferno, Port Hope, etc...) and sometimes I block Ank map if requested when the server is going to be played with little amount of playerbase (under 150 people)
- 7.4 gameplay: no hotkeys, uh trap, no pz on boats/carpets, overspawn, no runes on shop, no mage wands, no rope if something blocks hole, parcel block, etc... old style pvp.
- No stages, all 1x as intended by Cipsoft. It's not the goal for this poll but I'm open to change that for a different exp formula (I usually use Tibianic formula to make it hr) if requested by the players on the invitation servers, monsters give the same exp but you need less experience to advance levels (for example you only need 238 exp to level 8)
- No tasks.
- I usually make some minor modifications: add quivers for paladins, change some mana required for some knight spells, change the regeneration for ring of healing to make it useful...
