Why would anyone start a new character on a server with RZ rules where everyone is 60

In Jungian psychology, the shadow or "shadow aspect" may refer to (1) the entirety of the unconscious, i.e., everything of which a person is not fully conscious, or (2) an unconscious aspect of the personality which the conscious ego does not recognize in itself. Because one tends to reject or remain ignorant of the least desirable aspects of one's personality, the shadow is largely negative. There are, however, positive aspects which may also remain hidden in one's shadow (especially in people with low self-esteem).[1] Contrary to a Freudian conceptualization of shadow, therefore, the Jungian shadow often refers to all that lies outside the light of consciousness, and may be positive or negative. "Everyone carries a shadow," Jung wrote, "and the less it is embodied in the individual's conscious life, the blacker and denser it is."[2] It may be (in part) one's link to more primitive animal instincts,[3] which are superseded during early childhood by the conscious mind.

According to Jung, the shadow, in being instinctive and irrational, is prone to projection: turning a personal inferiority into a perceived moral deficiency in someone else. Jung writes that if these projections are unrecognized "The projection-making factor (the Shadow archetype) then has a free hand and can realize its object--if it has one--or bring about some other situation characteristic of its power." [4] These projections insulate and cripple individuals by forming an ever thicker fog of illusion between the ego and the real world.

From one perspective, 'the shadow...is roughly equivalent to the whole of the Freudian unconscious';[5] and Jung himself considered that 'the result of the Freudian method of elucidation is a minute elaboration of man's shadow-side unexampled in any previous age'.[6]

Jung also believed that "in spite of its function as a reservoir for human darkness—or perhaps because of this—the shadow is the seat of creativity.";[7] so that for some, it may be, 'the dark side of his being, his sinister shadow...represents the true spirit of life as against the arid scholar'.[8]

I started fresh with a monk. Kunark weapons can be really cheap which makes soloing easy. If you can't get a few hundred pp by your teens than I dunno what to tell you.

It amazes me that people wonder why the player base won't go up when it's self explanatory from the rule set alone.

If you make a new character, you're gonna be soloing from level 1-60. Who wants to solo a warrior or cleric to 60? You can't even PvP till 60 either since anyone you find is going to be a melee in a fungi tunic that just automatically wins. Overpowered, low level items like this were mitigated on SZ because you could just call in a level 60 to instantly kill the level 10 fungi tunic SK.

On SZ, there was plenty of grouping and PvP pre-60. You just go to a zone that your team controls and look for people. Occasionally (or usually), a level 60 would come and attack your full group of level 40's, but you could actually pose somewhat of a threat to them since the PvP code was changed so level gap didn't factor in to resists like it used to. Being able to kill level 1's also gives you a reason to visit lesser used zones, which causes high level PvP to happen in places instead of just Karnors.

None of that happens here, it's just a barren wasteland of no groups and no real PvP until you hit max level.

TLDR: wipe the server, change to SZ teams & rules (with good and neut combined if possible), re-release server with Velious open.

sad but true, mostly because you can't two box. I thought the one box idea was great untill you consider trying to enjoy the game without having someone play catcher for your melee.

No.

I never thought disallowing two boxing on red made any sense. Unfortunately, like many other things, this a kind of a "take it or leave it" project, you're in their world now on p99 and if you don't like it you can play somewhere else or something.
