You asked what we would think for a fun play experience. What one person thinks is fun, could be someone else's idea of torture. Honestly, running a semi-custom vanilla server is so run into the ground nowadays. I know I don't speak for everyone, but I know of several people who are chomping at the bit for something new and improved and way way custom.
Judging by the people I have spoken during my 5-6 years playing EQemu, they mostly wanted a solo type server, without the need to box. That would mean needing to balance the classes accordingly, not just the mobs. Solo-type custom quest progression would be beautiful, IMO(but thats just one mans opinion). Have you ever played THF? If that server was solo oriented and not so box oriented(or P2W), then it would have a much larger player-base. Sure 80 people online avg., but 90% of that is boxers.
In the end, you need to build what YOU(and your son) want to build, not what we want. If we get burnt out, oh well. If you lose your dev spark, then the server goes no-where.
