Unique map, (Don't need uberdetailed shit, when I'm running past it within 4 seconds I didn't notice all 100+ details. Actually I spotted walls, blocking items and another player)
Balanced voc's + cool looking spells (std = suck)
I don't care about exp rates, I care about loot rates..
It's fun when you're limited in money.
It's fun if you PK someone or get PKed you'd actually care.
Beside those I like instead of uberdetailed maps (...) or RL maps which are automagic borderized.. Lost me? Cool.
I like a map with an idea. Which is carefully planned, which make me feel the staff put effort in it.
EFFORT != or ~= or IS NOT only detailed mapping.
We've got those great guys giving us the possibility to create superb functions, events, scripts and quests. And most people don't use it.. at all.. next to the basic: switch = remove stone action..
Anyway

that my opinion..
+overpowered donator items = noob.
+why not a special house as thanks for a donator?
- Noooo, I are pro! "botter", I need tibia bot to heal and train and hunt, I need donator item to own. (6) Donator axe (atk: 30000 def: 123456)
Imagine this guy (level 125) to a newbie, level 35... Bang you're down! WHAHAH NOOB! U FAIL!!
Alright made my point, I guess..
Last but not least.. Training rooms.. KILL THEM!! BURN THEM!! You do effort for the people to make a nice server, make them do effort to. Doing effort = satisfying = fun and people will come back to your server. Really they do.
Hehe yours!
