I would like to chuck my2p worth in ref DragonNet while i played there...
The Static IP seems to change a hell of a lot (defination :- Static means staying the same), then there is the bugs in Game which i'm not sure if they have sorted but def a problem last time I was there - Hitting Bug - Effects TAO and Warrior - server Thinks your Cheating, stops you hitting for a breif moment. End reulst of this is almost Half your Slice-N-Dice for exmaple dont work. Dead Mob Bug - On the screen it shows it as dead but in reality it is still alive and hits you very hard - have to Right Click to Kill the mob.
Be too vocal on the Forum and you will get you forum AND Game account Banned. Speak Ill if the Gm's and you will get Banned (even if only Messing About). Have items that are too good - you get accused of Cheating - even though it took you months to find them. NPC's Are hidden to the new maps - for exmaple - one is hidded in the ST maze, the other is Hidden in the ZT maze and last one is hidden in the Magic Ship 5F (even though it goes 1-2-3-2-3 on the Info of each floor). Exp is a random collection of numbers - for exmaple a RAT give you 1001 - so not a true 10x - just a random collection of made up numbers.
Changes are made to server but sort of forgets to upload any updates - good exmaple he changed Map in Sabuk but never issued update so you wondered why you gcould not get in gates (cos in reality there was no gates there but a wall).
The list goes on - before RedTear posts on this thread that i was annoyed because he banned me - i already left long before you got around to banning me - in fact this was the only reason i made a EI Server to show you how to work one properly - that listening to the players on bugs - actually sorting out the bugs yourself instead of expetcing the person reporting the bug to also come up with the Answer and so forth..
My view by the way is most servers (good ones) are roughly the same bar Exp, the mobs stats (as each server tweaks them different) and the names of the maps and items in game - other than that roughly most are the same to be honest and could not say which is better than any other. Best way is to have a look at server adds and find one that suits your style of play - such as High Exp etc..
