RE: Vote for Points rewards
my thoughts on the headgears:
Ninja's Scroll [0 def, Increase MATK by 1%] -> what Joe said. Would still fetch 2-3m in today's market imho

Peco Peco Ears [1 def, AGI + 1, MDEF + 2] -> beautiful, useful: on par with angel/evil wing ears. Would easily get 7+ m

Black Glasses [1 def, INT + 1, MDEF + 2] -> smokin' hot, useful: on par with red glasses. Would easily get 8+ m

Naughty Fairy [1 def, Perfect Dodge + 3] -> too similar to elvens, but still useful and might spawn more 80+ pdodge sins out there... maybe 6-7m because it's so similar to elvens

Fish Mouth [0 def, 5% chance to get Fresh Fish on kill, Fresh Fish recovery rate + 25%] -> actually useful and might be a good addition for high vit chars who are already gulping down meats or ice creams. At least 2m because it's somewhat more useful than rudolph's nose...

Of course it all depends on the amount of voting points required to get those items and how quickly one can rack up voting points, but still such allowances could very well squander a lot of your efforts to get HeRO's economy to shape up like it is now...

would we really end up with more people who actually stay for the long run?
HR servers have huge pops because they make it easy for people to feel 1337. They make it easy for players to feel good because they reward them way too generously. But most of the time the enchantment wears off and people numb to rewards. But the admins know this, so they have their own goals set, they have a clear expectation about the lifetime of their server(s), the peak population, and bounce rate...

Maybe before employing one of their reward schemes it would be good for us to take a moment and think about what our goals are; how many peak players (usually WOE times) do we want?
how many off-peak regular 24-hr pop average do we want?
how long do you want HeRO to exist?
how good is our bounce rate? Will this scheme really improve it or will it worsen it because some people will think "great i can get some good items fast here too", play the game, and then bounce?

HeRO is a great server because it has succeeded very very well in balancing the carrot and the stick.
This thing looks like it's all carrot and very little (if any) stick.
Please take care not to squander your previous efforts...
