Something some of you don't seem to realize - NOT EVERYONE can make it into a kingdom. So to rebuild 2k1, you should NOT make it all about being in a kingdom. Though you shouldn't neglect kingdoms either.

I think the main problem with 2k1 is that it was all based around working. Everything good was so expensive, and the jobs gave so little. You'd have to WORK for HOURS to even have a decent amount of money.
It was fun collecting hats, so they should still be sold, but there shouldn't be so few amounts of each type of hat. Maybe only 1 really rare hat that there is only a few of, but it shouldn't be where a common hat price is 100+ (it takes a few hours to make that much) and hat restocks should've been more common.
And there is no such thing as too many hats. Hats add more customization to how your character can look, and this is a GOOD thing.
So, 2k1 should have every single hat in existance, because this is a good thing and adds more. Also, there is no such thing as 'too many jobs' unless the jobs are BAD/useless (Fishing is useless, but fun..)
Jobs need to be equal. This makes a server more fun. IT IS NOT FUN to have to make choices like 'Do I want to go make MORE money doing something I hate, or make next to nothing for the same amount of time doing something that is more fun?'
All jobs should make the same or around so that people can do what they want, not have to worry about which one makes the most.

I think I might be ranting and going off topic, so I'll end this here.

[edit- And add Pirates back. I played 2k1 until it was removed. kthx]

My idea:
No jobs, instead you get your money from bushes and enemies should drop more than 1 gralat, maybe like 20. Shops should have unlimited amounts of hats, and hats should be cheap, that way, you can get everything in a few days and spend the rest of your time RPing with people, making friends, Events should give special prize NPCs (like GSF had belts) except instead of having someone spar someone else to get the item, there could be an nlimited amount, so theoretically, anyone could get it, and anyone could compete.

youve g ot it the wrong way around dude you need limited hats so you wearing a certain hat while rping respresents something instead of "Wow he is wearing this hat...its not special because everyone has it" :/
