RE: Three year anniversary!
I'm with BVC on just about everything he's stated. The size... well, I'm not exactly well versed in how large a server should be. 1,000 seems small to me, 2,000 seems decent. I remember back in 1.5 or whatever the transition was called, Blackrock was within sight of Bamboo City and we had about a max of 12 or so people on at a time, and other times it was empty; I think whatever size 1.5 was should be good, whatever size it was.
Also, I think that nomad towns should be brought back as well, although that's not necessarilly the largest thing that should be done. This should be a bare-bones, basic, ready-to-adapt server that changes based on whatever new (or old) members return.
asdf, as it stands, the only people I'm seeing interested in this new server are me, you, Gecko, seth, bvc, giratina, maybe borntorule, squig, and Crazy, and perhaps a few people on Steam that I've been talking to. That's not exactly a whole lot. People will come if we advertise correctly and make a good environment for them, but that's not exactly going to bring a couple faction's worth of people in a short time. I'd say keep it simple, keep it safe. If people want a larger area, we can always expand the map as-needed - that's what we did in 2.0 and it worked out well enough.
