- Experience must be slowly earned.
- Monsters must be ruthless.
- Equipment must be hard to find.
- Quests are mysterious
- Increased bow price to 500 gp.

- Low loot drop.
- No NPCs that purchases "high value" items.
- Houses that adapt their rent depending on city-popularity and become increasingly expensive if almost all houses are taken.
- There's no party experience (exp-share), which force teams to be more creative, while making it harder to "boost" friends.
- Slower spawn (CipSoft's accurate spawn time + spawn modification based on player numbers).
- No "OT hunting places" there many monsters exist in a small place with fast respawn.
- No Ankrahmun nor Port Hope to make it increasingly hard to find good "power-game" dungeons.
- CipSoft's based exhaustion, making monsters able to combo you in a way they can't in OT's.
- Monsters being able to hurt you even if you're stair-jumping them.

- Vampire Shield Quest.
- Crusader Helmet Quest.
- Noble Armor Quest.

- Make it harder for knights and paladins to speed-game the early levels.
- Make mages not able to "power-level" the first levels in their life.
- Slowing down the general pace of early levels.
- Make equipment flowing more naturally as "good equipment" is scarce.
- Cause good equipment to be a true mid-game items rather than early-game through rushing.
- Cause end-game content to remain absence for much longer.
