Vanilla is definitely the best. Everyone is capping out at like barely over 100 magic resist means casters still have a chance.

Base stats mean a whole lot more so ogres are extra strong in vanilla era because no one is capping out anything. I think this is a - but its worth noting.

Kunark second best
Velious third best

Will not evaluate post Velious expansions.

One of worst things about kunark is that it makes the human monk second class citizen. It used to be cool that a monk had to be a basic human and had basically no gear at all. Kunark comes out and the get geared to the teeth and have regen and extra mitigation and freaking night vision. Pretty plz. Worst part of kunark. Poor humans.

Only bad thing about vanilla is the game is so much smaller that everyone can totally BIS max out without a zillion years of poop socking. I think this is a positive but I would hate to see too many people just quit for nothing else to do on their characters besides roll alts and max them out too.

A vanilla server should have legacy items in place always or removed completely so that it isn't dumb. Lustrous russet is up for debate. Rubicite obviously stays in. Manastone is up for debate.

I don't think theres any perfect set up thats why you gotta enjoy each era while it lasts.
