I for one would support a server like this if it were true to old world, experience grinding, junk items, slow drop rates...
Sure it sounds like a grind, but working for what you had is what mattered then... ofcourse even the best oldworld gear never made someone god like, so it was actually balanced.
I would be happy to make a small donation each month to this server, if someone can get something good going.
Get enough people willing to make a small monthly donation of 10-20$ and you can support it quite well imo.
Sure you end up paying to play, but imo having a team that will actually make the changes and run a good game is what counts.
Oh, on a sidenote, I would only actually pay or support this server if it were pvp enabled
