Return of Reckoning

Just found this awesome project while in a bout of nostalgia about the olden golden days of MMOs and when PvP was fun. While excitement currently is getting to my head, I would like to ask you veterans here for some information.

I am sorry if this has been asked somewhere else but I couldn't find a similar thread anywhere.

Could someone sum up the differences between this server and WAR Live?
Personally I can live without Land of the Dead and other PvE things but as it is with private servers, there are some concerns.

How well does it work? Do we have all the abilities? Lag? Is it broken but enjoyable?
Balance issues? Active Realm Wars, Scenarios, that kind of thing.

I am hoping to call up my entire old guild and get to PvPing right away so, looking forward to positive responses.

Thanks for now!

How well does it work? - Pretty well.
Lag? - Unless you're australian or west coast NA you shouldn't experience significant lag. Though the server can lag sometimes or get ddosed, but it's usually gets fixed very fast.
Is it broken but enjoyable? - Some content is missing and will be gradually added (oil at keeps for example) later, but the game is still very enjoyable.
Do we have all the abilities? - Yes, we have all abilities from 1 lvl to 31 except for granted. like those tiny damage ab. that runepriest or zealot coud give you. The damage was non-existent anyway so it's not important. No rr abilities as well (like to bypass the postern door or to protect from wall, or repair a siege engine)
Balance issues? - Balance issues are the same as on live, but devs already started doing minor balance tweaks.
Active Realm Wars - keep and battle object taking, no forts or capitals because no t4 yet.
Scenarios - We have most of them and they pop up pretty frequently especially t1 and t3.

Not in this context.

If you guys want to get into heated debates about class builds and proposed changes with the positives and negatives, there's a place for that. Dragging personal attacks into a thread to sum up the state of the server, along with any other thread, will not be tolerated.

@OP, an example of the forum moderation you may encounter. Post constructively, or don't post.

Summed up? enough to have fun with the fundamentals (PvP+RvR). That said, many in the past have stated their pleasure of WAR when experienced without excessive abilities and excessively powerful weapons + armor such as the early Tiers. That is what I like to think we have achieved now.
The Devs are extremely well organized and are moving things along at their own pace without being influenced by desire of greed or pacification of players. Which is great IMO. In short these dev's here are real selfless heroes to us all.

The most noticable thing about this server is the community. Loads of people that love the game to death, and amazing devs that actually play the game themselves. Most of the trolls and elitists are even entertaining. Don't tell them I said that, though.
Sure, there are some quirks. Tactics not being set when you log in (and you WILL forget to set them just after you log in, and wonder why on earth you suck balls), items missing from your inventory, horrible lag sometimes.

But it's all worth it in the end. Because you wouldn't be here if you didn't care about the game. So just download, create a character, and join the WAAAGH!

I love T3 and hate T4 tbh.

I think the real thing ruined this game is their city capture system. They really can find a better way to do that.
