Part of private server (to me) is really to fix things that didn't go as optimal as they could have been on the officials.

What exactly are you referring to when you talk about official content that isn't "as optimal as they could have been"?

Private servers generally don't make huge changes to existing content changes/additions made on officials, at least from my experiences of having played both official and private servers for extended periods of time. You have eA trying to emulate what gets released and in rarer cases you get the occasional server who picks up where eA leaves off and emulates content before eA gets around to it. Yes, private servers will add a lot of custom content, but this rarely pertains to changing the mechanics of official content but rather the addition of content which builds upon RO's base gameplay mechanics. In most cases, there is nothing that needs "fixing" unless eA fails to emulate it due to limitations in their scripting language.

The only other possible reason to make changes to official content is if the servers community doesn't allow for it. Getting back to Tripp's question, heRO's community is very different compared to official servers. I don't want to get into a discussion about what people prefer in a community, as on most officials the community has much more focus on end game content, whereas heRO does not. In heRO's case, people seem much more content in sitting around in pront or spending all day mining/fishing, as opposed to having a focus on farming high end MvP's and/or PvP and WoE.

That's not to say that heRO doesn't have members of it's community that prefer the end game aspects of RO, but these people certainly come across as being in the minority.
