If you are building a server from scratch in C sharp, pls consider the following :p
Making a config file to finetune ingame settings like for example:
-Mastery total ! with like 700/700 as a max setting
-xp and sp rates with seperate multipliers
-an option true or false to kick players beeing idle more than 2 hours (exept stall)
-option to enable or disable triangular conflict lvl protection (so you can only be attacked by max 5 or 10 lvls higher)
-custom alchemy succes rate! (would be nice to have rate increase events
)
-safe enchant rate : make a fixed valeu safe like +2 or +3 !! it would be so much more fun :p
-more inventoy tabs like : default 1 but can go up to 4
Other suggestions:
-use up to date OS with a descent antivirus and firewall , silkroad is always subject to hackers and cheaters (preferably .. just use linux to host the actual mysql database on)
-even in such a nice pserver .. you will get scammers and players without dignity
so a no bot , no multiclient , no other silly hacks allowed policy would be nice
-Make it a opensource project when your done
if this server gets some fame .. it will fill up very fast .. just like in lineage II wich has such a project for that game ..
- keep rates at 40 or max 45 .. ppl asking for more are just beeing damn lazy
if you want to satisfy the lazy ppl's needs put a second server with 5000xp ? :p
Final not: Thanks for working on this pserver
the real thing is so dead anyway and this is the game i love most
perfect for a 100% legit like myself .. keep it up guys !
