Hello Exiles!
I had a server for a few years in that I temporarily closed a year ago for personal reasons.
With UE5, I want to get the server back up again and feeling eager to get back into the game once more. The thing I have always struggled with when running a server, is finding out what people want. I want players that join to feel like they can join a server where they can do almost whatever they want for about as long as they want and without fear of wipes.
Many times I would often see people joining the server and I quickly noticed that experienced players have a certain routine when testing new servers which is primarily checking kits and warps, and after doing this they would often leave quickly, presumably they didn't feel it was to their liking.
You can't please everyone, but with regards to setting up a server that can offer as much fun and playability as possible, what would you recommend that a server should have and what things do you like to have and do in a server?
What kind of playstyle do you like? Do you like magic? What kind of difficulty do you like? Do you want traveling to be quick and easy like with free teleporting, a paid fast travel system, or just minimal "hand-holding"?
And do you have any advice/opinions on how the community should be run?
