I try to keep custom files down to a minimum and nothing that would effect playing on other servers. The only custom files I have right now are the spell files. I think custom files alone is a huge reason why this idea would be very hard to implement properly. Most custom servers have at least a custom spell file, and I know that many of them are not compatible. And if there are other custom files, it would cause even more issues.

The idea Secrets has is an interesting one. But, many custom servers tend to use the same zones, so it would be hard to give one that doesn't overlap with custom content on another server. Plus, I doubt people would be willing to give up their best zone. Which means that it would just be a bunch of mediocre stuff, which I don't think makes it worth the hassle and possible issues.

I have shared many quest files that were made for my server that I thought might be useful to other admins. If I was to share any of my custom zones, I think one that probably wouldn't overlap with other servers is my Corathusa zone. The zone is pretty simple, but it has a unique system in it for leveling and gaining points to spend on armor instead of just getting normal item drops from the NPCs.
