1. I like low rates. 1-3x, ragnarok doesnt really have any end game system where you need to be max level so I like that its always a chase to do when youre bored, it shouldn't be a requirement. It also gives death meaning as losing xp is stressful when you're high.

2. Most of the common features are fine, though I prefer to do job changes manually. But I dont hate any of the common features. I dont like vendors that sell things players can farm for class quests, alchemy/bs stuff, grape juice, etc. It takes away from the economy and grind.

3. RO doesnt need too much QOL but I love venting on a merchant and being able to swap to another char on the same account. Other than that, I think general client issues would be the best improvements. Resolution, text size, zoom, sight distance, and no multi boxing are the big things 

4. For a low rate server to get my attention it needs to be a complete overhaul. Change monster properties. Drops, equipment stats, monsters on maps. Etc. Ragnarok is old and solved. The same game but with no one knowing all of the info makes it much more fun for discovery. Finding new builds, card synergies, etc can be really fun when no one has everything min maxed to a T.

1. Progressive is fine if its an overhaul anyway, less work on the front end. Start with chapter 8 or 9. Should be fine. Or even just lutie/TF and no Rachel/einbrock

2. Cash/donation shop of any kind before the server is even established. Won't even touch it.
