Stopped playing Hex because the player base died, was a great server and i'd consider playing again if the player base returned.
You need to start playing now, everyone doesn't play because it looks dead, which is why it stays dead, it's not even really that "Dead" at the moment there are 7 people online.
I never planned on making my server Stealing, I am probably going with the normal, non pk, higher level sector's pk with pk alter optional. I was thinking about using gold as decorations on weapons and armor, though the other ores will be used as normal, iron steel and copper are just too limiting, Polearm was actually a skill on nexus I believe, and even so spear and staff are too similar to polearm to really have that as a skill by itself without removing one or both of the others, I'm already putting a lot of work into alchemy, and if you would like multiple plants for a potion I will need a lot more plant images, if you're good at making images, make some samples and I'll take a look at them.
