And what im saying is, with high rate it can go on forever and ever.. a low rate cannot... as it will eventually turn into a med/high rate.. it cannot suvive as purely "low rate"
let me give u an example
Lets see the level 45 set is called Knight set.. total gives u say 140 dc, and best set ingame
takes a month before a good amount of ppl have the full set, and want a new set
so u add a new set, Kings Set.. total gives u say 160 dc.. but cause levelins so hard, on a low rate, u leave it at level 45 lets say
then a month later or w/e... ppl have that set again, so u add a new set that gives 180 dc.. but u make it level 46 to get ppl levelin as its gonna be unbalanced if u have that much dc at lower level
this continues on till say lvl 50 where the set is giving like i dunno, 300 dc.. and its now all out of balance because ppls HP is too low for the stats that are now too high.
Thus u have to make levelin easier, so ppl can get to around level 70, thus makin it into a more of a med rate server, rather than a low rate... and the server continues on and lets say over a year has past, pretty much average level is now lvl 90 odd with 400 dc and its now no where near a low rate?
Euro however, was different..... items were a lot rarer, there were a lot more players, meaning u could be forever selling items cause ppl would always need them.
Not only that, you could privately sell your gold/items if u got towards the end game content, and basically start again, but with a nice pocket of cash.
I would work to get mir set, then sell it for $$, start again and repeat the process.. as there was nothing else to do...i even quit loads of times to play servers as it got very boring.
Private servers wont work like this, once ppl get the top teir kit, they will just kit or ask for a new kit to be added
