There's really only a few people who even contribute/work on a server anymore, basically PR2 Devs, and RoTF Devs, and then NR (except nilly doesn't contribute, anymore)
(and then a few people who work on localhost servers privately, like me and a few other people I am sure)
You as the players don't see this as a problem, but you guys need to start pitching out stuff you want to see in the god damn server you are gonna be playing, they can't be like "hey i think someone might like this, so im gonna add it", you need to give them ideas, so discuss please, I don't care what they are, they can be insane, they can be extremely easy, they can be a bug/exploit you've found (RoTF is using an optimized FSoD source, and PR2 is using an optimized SD source), it can be an item (providing the sprite would be nice) or an enemy, or it could be something strange, maybe not even related to RoTMG.
Another reason this is a problem, is that the private server section is getting slower and slower every day, less and less tutorials, more and more servers getting closed down, hell, even less help requests, and that means this sub-section will just end up being completely removed from the RoTMG section.
Some ideas I've thought about for my server running FSoD Source:
Those are just some random stuff I've done, then stuff I hope to do/someone else can do. I'll come back here when I am bored/need stuff to do. and look at my undone wip ideas and try to succeed them, or look at the comments (if you guys actually contribute your ideas) and try to make some of yours.
This section is so dead I wouldn't even be surprised if this didn't get any replies w/ ideas.

Some ideas I've thought about for my server running FSoD Source:
[] = Done
[] - Tags In Database, allowing me to edit a specific ranks/players tag without having to edit the source/restart server
[] - Multiple Custom Commands, 17 added so far
[] - New Currency; Points, by playing for a while, you will get "rewarded" 1 point, and with X points, you can buy account features, such as a glow, or a tag, or a name change, and other account features, all of it is handled in the database and is bought using a command, so you can do it whenever, no need to wait for a staff to edit your account (Items and such will not be buy-able with points, since people can just go afk on multiple accounts and buy stuff with points and trade over to main)
[] - Anti-Spam/Advertising Bots/Players, in the PlayerTextHandler File, simple code was added blocking specific texts if they contained texts involving other public server names or their websites
[] - A way for regular players to spawn, I've recently added some new ActivateEffects, which are for player spawning, basically there are items like "Crystal Egg" and "Oryx Egg" and more events like that, and when consumed, the item disappears and the entity (depending what "egg" you've bought) spawns. Of course there are security measures that I have added and still am, such as there only being one map that they are consumable in, a square arena of some sort or so, and they entity will spawn 5 tiles away from the player, so they don't insta-die, all players in the arena know the risk they are taking, they know any other player in there could have an egg of any sort being able to spawn something anywhere.
[] - Consumable/Trade-able Fame+Gold, another ActivateEffects item, when consumed, you are given the fame/gold depending on what the amount is, lets say you have the 100 Fame item, and you consume it, you are given 100 Fame, self-explanatory, lol, or you can trade it for items or whatever.
Now for the wip/ideas;
Bank System; A way to store your Gold, Basically lets make this perma-death thing a little bit more realistic, the gold you have in the top right corner is reset to 0 when you die, but to keep some/all, you store it into your bank (sort of like GTAV I guess?), and you are probably like "Ok Ill just always put ALL of my gold in the bank.. lol #exploiter #imahacker" but nahhh there will be certain occasions in special dungeons/realm/events where you will need/want to spend some gold.
Activities; Similar to RuneScape I guess, basically you can fish, and with stuff you catch, you can cook it, and you can make food which act like health potions, you consume them to regain hp, and more.
Arcade Mode; http://www.mpgh.net/forum/showthread.php?t=813139, another server that you can switch to via Servers List and it's basically what is described by @059 in that link, I personally like that idea, puts a huge twist in the gameplay, and could be fun for lots of people in my opinion.
Clickable Links; When you say a link in chat, it is clickable, and will open the link in your default browser.
Control Command; allows you to control the given players account, letting you view their screen and adjust their characters stats and inventory and etc.
Daily Lottery; threw up quick command other day as an example http://pastebin.com/2E4qHG4x (lottery goes back to false every 24h), but hopefully this can be turned into something better with a gui that pops up with a button to spin/roll once you enter the nexus like the package advertisements.
Gravelooting (When a user dies, their equipment (and maybe inventory) will drop in a bag(s) or something where they died.)
Reputation System (Many ways to do this kind of system)

Those are just some random stuff I've done, then stuff I hope to do/someone else can do. I'll come back here when I am bored/need stuff to do. and look at my undone wip ideas and try to succeed them, or look at the comments (if you guys actually contribute your ideas) and try to make some of yours.
This section is so dead I wouldn't even be surprised if this didn't get any replies w/ ideas.
