Avoid Project Ebonhold roguelike server

Project Ebonhold was actually fun at first. I played for a couple weeks and enjoyed it. They have this roguelike mechanic where you draft one of three random "echoes" every level up, which make your character more powerful, to the point that you can solo content.

I say this server was fun, because the devs just abruptly made a bunch of changes last week that the player base do not like. They made the game far more grindy, and deleted a core game mechanic to get perfect echo drafts to make your character powerful. They replaced it with a new mechanic that will take new players literally months to get the same level of power veteran players achieved in days.

The worst part is they let all the veterans keep their overpowered echo builds, creating an almost insurmountable gap between established players and new players. This is of course because a group of influential veterans are friends with the devs and refused to give up their power.

After being swamped with negative feedback by the community, the devs mostly refused to listen and their answer was just to start handing out dozens and dozens of silences in game and on discord. I messaged a GM to discuss the issues, and he basically told me "Don't message me again or you're banned". 75% of players in a poll voted to revert the change to echoes, and they just ignored everyone.

Cool concept, but very toxic dev team. Would not recommend this server.
