I consider myself both a player and an owner.

I was a player on Emu's for close to 5 years before I ever tried owning and Developing my own Server.

My first attempt was pretty much a complete Custom job and I was clueless about what people wanted. I just made the server something that I thought was fun and would play myself. I closed it after a couple of months with less than 5 population.

I went back to playing for a couple years and then got recruited to dev on Leetsauce in Feb of 2015.

It's a different kind of server. It gets some criticism for it's "Wide Open" style that allows people to get to max level fast. But, the vast HUGE amount of content available after max level keeps people interested and coming back. This is the Key to a good population IMO. Plenty of Content and some Unique features.

We have averaged 25-35 players pretty steady since October 2015 or so. Not the Huge numbers that some of the Legends Servers boast, but still in the top half of Preferred Servers.
