This server is very unique and special to me. I think it can be well understood better if you try play it. Also there are many things which i like to tell about this server and it completely not make difference to me what this server has or the other server has/ got something different then this server. It's completely wrong to judge this way better try play it and try to adapt something. I would like to say 3 things which i like the most of this server -:
1) ALL GM STAFF. They work day and night to make this server better place. The very good thing is they always there for you whether it's in game or in forums and they always support you and they give you chance to speak and listen/read to your questions, comments,suggestion etc.
2) The PEOPLE WHO PLAYING THIS SERVER. It's not that easy to make any relation in outer world too same happens here in this server like first it was little difficult to understand them. But now they are more then a friend to me.
3) This server not only give chance to play regular player but also thinks about new comer and make them to play more comfortable. Like there are various event organised/gears equipment change/ Change in map / PVP etc not only for regular person it's for all new comer too. This will certainly give them chance to play wherever they want to.
Sorry, but number 1) and 3), as good things as they are, are not what make this server stand out, as so many other servers have active GMs and newbie friendly features.
As for 2), well, I kinda found that animus' playerbase was pretty much like any player base. As in, friendly folks here and assholes there.
