Vaniki was niche before and basically garbage now. This server was always going to live or die based on the rewards. Always. And they probably couldn't have done much worse on that aspect. Rest of the clarifications are incredibly meh. There isn't a single redeeming aspect except for the 2x loot.
Actually, there was one aspect that I truly was happy about: The resist scaling. I was fearful of playing a Wizard on this server, but now I might be hopeful. With no level-based resist bonus, that means wizards should be able to land spells much easier than on a normal server. I will no longer feel useless in PoSky!
