You can say just some boots but the items on that server are ridiculous. It isn't like a normal server that dev/image give someone a +3 str +10 hps boots to get started. They have massive hps, shielding, resists and effects. It is really bad. The only balancing they do is adding in random +100-200 hps items to compensate for terrible design. That is a really bad way to run a server.
If they stick to classic/kunark I think they will be more successful but they also need to tone down how emotional they are and be less accessible to the community. Any rumors that they give items away to people hurt the server and it sounds like no one will contest that they have summoned some items and given out some favors.
I joined one of there servers a couple years ago and was leveling up. Then a group of players logged in, cried about having to start all over because they had played on the servers before and got dev/image to summon them max level chars with full planar loot, diamond rods for casters and full spell book. Then everyone else complained so they gave everyone that was already playing 1-2 max level chars. In this case it was even but it shows how emotional and naive the devs can be when players they know complain about stuff. They ruined a server they had worked on for months in a couple seconds with bad decision making.
