Open BETA of "Jer's Server" begins 12/14/14

Looks like your server has potential. But let ma ask you, what makes your sever unique? FYI: legit with custom content isn't unique or even new. Plenty out there do this exact same thing.

Is there a box limit, or bots/mercs, possibly scaled down raid mobs? Custom progression? I feel that far too many "legit classic server" DEVS dont realize how played out the concept is. Something as simple as tuning content at 12 man raids with a two box limit is so much more attractive. That way you get folks appealed to join the server with the added benifit of experiencing your artistic influence of custom content.

To clarify: adding a handful of quests isn't going to change the overall experience of EQ enough for most to start fresh on "random server xyz"

Have you tried offering to assist the operator?

Sounds like you would have a grip on how to do this, thus could possibly be helpful in a more active constructive manner. Maybe they're taking applications from their member-base?

I'm currently working with someone to potentially develop our own server, but not sure if we'll have the funding/knowledge. This seemed like a "blank-slate" I was offering up some friendly advice so it didn't get lost in the sea of servers that fade into oblivion.
