I've been having trouble finding the right balance between god mode and eyes bleeding mode. Here's what I have found so far:
Krushers (semi-god mode) - Good server to get your feet wet with, #zone, #setskillall and #summonitem is enabled by default so you can play around with those uber combinations you always wanted to in a very short amount of time. But alas, this got old quickly since there is really no hook (the novelty of grinding AAs on Fennin Ro wears off suprisingly fast). Soloing Lower Guk from 20-40 was cool, I admit--although AM still didn't drop SMR for me, my bad luck streak continues even after all these years.
Irreverant (solo tuned) - This is too much into the eyes bleeding side of the balance for me. Having no starter kit for the monk I rolled was really the dealbreaker for me, since the novelty of wielding a 4/30 club wears off faster than grinding on Fennin Ro (they do provide a gate charm, which I appreciated). If I had the time and desire to make it through till I could grab some decent gear from Dalnir this server would probably provide great longevity. I think a caster might fare better here since they solo well even when naked.
Jest 3 (easter egg central) - They have got it pretty close, since they start you out with decent gear. The xp mod isn't over done, there is a buffbot NPC that is easy to deal with and the randomly placed drops seem to keep you guessing (read: interested). The people I've talked to so far have been very kind. The server was rather empty though, I'd like to see more people. I am also unsure about how solo-unfriendly classes will fare since I am not certain what kind of tuning has been done.
These are just my personal opinions, and if you happen operate one of these servers, please don't take any of my observations personally.
Cheers!
