What are you looking for in a server?

[NostalgiaEQ]

I've been working on a server lately, I'm not very far along but I wanted to hear your thoughts on what a server should be. Why are you here? (may be a bit personal but I think it is important). I'm here because I guess I have been haunted by (good) memories of everquest and could never really find another game that could fully satisfy the MMO need that EQ created in me. Are you here because you couldn't/didn't want to keep up with the pace of live? Do you not like how live is pay to win? Did you not agree with how live was run? Do you want a return to old school EQ before the new textures and hub zones and models? Do you think they watered down the difficulty of live too much? Do you want to 'cheat' (not a bad thing) and pick your own difficulty and program bots? Do you love or hate mudflation/twinking? Do you love/hate boxing? What are your thoughts on custom content?

Why are you here and what are you looking for in a server? If a new server came out today what would you go in and look for to decide if you wanted to play there? What would your perfect server be?

These are just questions to get you thinking; feel free to talk about whatever you want.
