I was thinking about it the other day and I really miss the way that almost all servers used to specify the type of server they were in the server name. I do it in mine because I think it helps people decide whether my server is the one for them or not. These days it seems like more servers try to see who can get the most !s or ]s in their name to get higher on the list instead of trying to actually be descriptive.
Mine is named:
Storm Haven (Custom-Legit) [stormhavenserver.com]
And that is how it shows up on the server list. IMO, it would be nice and helpful to the player-base if more servers named their servers with a similar format as long as it didn't get too long to all show up on the list.
Here is the format:
Server Name (Server-Type) [
www.website.com]
Some of the possible server types are:
Legit - A server that tries to mimic live as closely as possible
Non-Legit - A server that allows players access almost all commands including #zone, #heal, #level, #si, etc etc
Semi-Legit - A server that only allows players access to some commands including #zone, and maybe #level or a few others
Custom-Legit - A fully legit server (no special commands) that has custom content that differs from EQLive
PVP - A Player vs Player server
Custom-PVP - A Player vs Player server with custom content
Classic - A server that tries to mimic classic eq as close as possible. This can also include some of the early expansions, but normally no later than Velious.
Custom-Classic - A classic server with just a few changes to give it a slightly updated feel or maybe just a few differences from the classic EQLive experience
Good thing I saw this, because I switched to a new website a couple of weeks ago and forgot to change my server name to reflect that! It is corrected now, lol.
servers with gm commands for everyone...
