Beginner Catch-up
1. Add a beginner buff 100% extra exp rate for people 75 and below to encourage new players to try out the server or old players to return. Believe it or not unless you have a couple of billion gold to buy an Odyn weapon / kingdom set and have all the exp buffs from the gg shop levelling is quite slow without all those things.
2. Adding a starter kit may be another good idea to give noobs a boost.
3. Add all the non-rare, level 3 limited books to the book shop because prices of books for basic books like firewall is ridiculous in the market and unrealistic for low players I have had to buy new players books countless times.
4. The sellable items that drop in each cave like relics, runes etc that are meant to be sold for gold are really outdated now as the economy has changed. Yesterday I spent 30min farming them as a test on my 79 wiz and I managed to collect a few hundred runes which only totalled about 700k gold which is nothing on this server. I would recommend as a rule of thumb to increase the amount is cave specific stackable item by around 50x (subject to testing)

Concerns from other players
Stat / Refine Extractors
I have noticed quite a few concerns about the Stat and refine extractors currently in-game which allow OP weapons to exist due to the fact people aren't concerned about losing them or having to sell them once they get a new weapon. Before these extractors were in-game every time a new weapon would get released players would need to start again and refine it from scratch which meant the weapons never really managed to get too many stats on them before they were being sold and moving onto new weapons.
In most games a new player can catch up eventually due to a constant influx of new items and new meta's but you have kind of shot yourself in the foot when you added the extractors as its just an ever-increasing power gap now.
Unfortunately, I think the only way to fix this would be to remove the extractors and then add new weapons into the game that give better stats than any odyn weapon currently in game to get people an incentive to get the new weapon. But then all the big donators that buy gg to sell to players for endless gold would probably cause an uproar so if you have any other ways to deal with this issue it would be nice to know.

PK Points
There isn't really any penalty right now for pking as the pk points are so easily removed which means players can just kill and kill and kill without having to pay a price like avoiding towns for a few hours. Having PK points removes a lot of harassment from the game like constantly camping you in caves as you know a player will only keep killing you so many times before they realise they dont want to stay red any longer than x amount of hours. Personally i dont really care too much if there is pk points or not but i know there have been multiple comments about it on discord.

The Way Forward
The way forward all depends on how we deal with the current player concerns.
Option 1: Remove the extractors from the game and find a way to either remove the current weapons or make new weapons better than the current super refined weapons and then continue with new content as normal.
Option 2: Just keep releasing new content with new caves n weapons and items and maybe even skills and just keep slowly running the server into the ground until your new server is ready.
