I tried your server the other night. I got to level 6 and then went back to trying to figure out how to compile the source code....
I would like to encourage you to keep up the good work
I know the server is new, so anything not perfect yet is something that is probably a work in progress.
1) The optional Jaggedpine quest was something I almost missed and appears to be the first part of the story progression.
2) Since you're using Norath to play as Middle Earth, it was unclear how to get to Elrond (in Felwithe). Do I run across Norath like I would on old Live? Do I port there? Is there a special zone line up through Jaggedpine?
3) I tried a Zerker and found that the armor drops in Jaggedpine were very light on Zerker gear and heavy on Wiz, War and SK drops (with other being roughly equal and less frequent). I'm sure the drop rate is set to random with all items being equally likely, so, instead, I would recommend you give players items to use in either crafting or questing. Since it looked like you were going to do some custom crafting, it might make since to let the Orcs drop 6 newbie crafting items (or 1...since it seemed like every kill was supposed to have a good chance of gaining newbie gear) and then teach your players how to craft gear.
Anyway, not sure if any of that was helpful, but for what it's worth, those were the things that I remember from last night. I love custom content servers, and I would love to come back in a month and see how you've polished your content
