I've been playing on the server for most of the week and have been having a pretty good time so far. I do however think the early game (teir 1-3 so far, I've only recently got to teir 4) can feel a little lacking in direction. What I mean by that is you've got your tasks sure, but as for getting gear in order to be able to complete them, the best method I found was just to sell everything and try to find stuff in East Commons. If that's the way you want it to work, that's perfectly fine, but from what I can tell the stuff available there is just a random assortment of items that look like they were sold to the 'merchants'. I don't know if they ever restock or if it's entirely dependent on people selling stuff to them. If they don't get any new items it could be kinda tough for someone new to find stuff they can even use.
I'm just of the opinion that early on is when you have to get people interested in what you're offering on your server. If someone comes along and manages to level to 50-60 then wonders why they don't have any or very little gear, they might start to lose interest. Also being stuck with no aaxp until teir 4, maybe kick it back to 2 or 3? When you can hit 60 before even finishing teir 1, not being able to 'advance' your character anymore until later makes a lot of the killing feel less rewarding or even pointless to some people. Yeah you can get AA tokens from tasks, but I don't know its just kinda a bummer to get all this exp from killing doing absolutely nothing.
I'm not trying to sound like I'm telling you what to do with your server, just voicing an opinion as a player. I like a lot of the concepts here, and will continue to play here.
I did encounter a bug(?) with the teir 4 tasks where not all my kills would count toward my task. Sometimes i'd go 2 or 3 kills without seeing an update, and other times I'd be able to get some back to back without issue.
