I don't really like prepping weapons that much either, as it makes it far too easy to kill monsters and most of them are no longer a challenge for players, sort of wrong in a meant-to-be-RPG. There should always be monsters that players cant take on on their own.
Also, the economy has crashed and plat is hardly worth anything now.
I hate to admit it, but, a server restart would be the best thing 
I know plenty of people who would come back if there was a restart...
Perhaps we could sort of copy the server and then reset it, so on one server youre whatever level you are with all your leet items etc, and on the other youve just started. I think this is what they are planning to do eventually.

1. Just one or two of each item, while it would limit the -number- of PKers, there would still be PKers out there with all the items, and it would be 500 times harder to get a single one of those items for yourself (the amount those *****s think the things are worth right now is just stupid. "OMDFGFG THERS ONLY TOO OFF TEHM! SO TEHY R WORHF 100 DIAMUNDZ" "No, dude...a <insert average item that the average player can access> is better than that item..." "BUT TEHR R ONLY TOO OFF TEHN! GIEV DIAMUNZ PLZ!" see what i mean?). The main problem with amounts is not how many there are, but how many each person has, IMHO.
Think about it this way: What is more balanced, one player with like every event/alch item there is running around bashing everyone's faces through, or quite a lot of players with say one or two alch/event items each?
My suggestion, although a little shakey, is a lot fairer than the current system: Make some spoony script or something that makes it impossible for a player to have more than say one event item, one event weapon, and two alchemy items. Make it so that they can't get round it by storing the items in their houses then going back for more and stuff.
I'm not asking that this should be implemented, because it most likely wont, i just personally think it's a rather fair idea..
2.Yeah, i hear what you're saying about the monsters that shouldn't be able to be "pwned" in 5 seconds by one powerplayer. I think there should be some like really big scary monsters, bigger than lords (Maybe a giant horse, or a giant Stefan
, that are -impossible- to beat alone. But here's the thing....their difficulty decreases with the number of partied people onscreen. So, say you were in a party of two, and both people were on screen, then the monster would be marginally easier. If you were in a party of 5 (and they were all onscreen; if a single member of the party is offscreen, the difficulty boosts right up to impossible again) then the monster would become much much easier, providing you all chipped in. This'd probably be like....super duper hard to implement, so ignore i said it
3. A clone server isnt that bad in theory...i was babbling on about it a day or two ago in fact. However, it's my opinion that, even though there would be a fresh new server to go and Roleplay on, there would be hardly anyone on it to roleplay with. The hardcore roleplayers such as myself (i like to think this, at any rate o_O) would go there, yeah, but most people who just like to roleplay now and again would never leave...simply because they're too lazy to start fresh just for the opportunity of a damned good, clean, idiot and PKer free server...BLARG! Also, what might happen is some powerplayers may think "Hey, new server...if i pretend that i want to roleplay, i can go over there, win all the events by kissing the ass of the EMs, and then become a powerlpayer there with ALL the items! bwauhauhaaaa!"
Sorry for the long-winded nonsense. I'd be surprised if anyone reads this all the way through xD

they should consider something as no damage when someone is casting a spell or something like that you know.
