Straid

Hello everyone. I recently played in another private classic server (which was also my first classic server) and I loved the version, but sadly the srv itself was a mess and called it quits. I had known about this server for some time but since its release was made quite some time ago I thought that I'd be hopless to start here; I thought it would be impossible to catch up. So long story short (too late) I loved classic so much that I'm planning to start playing here, and I would like some info regarding the server. 1) Is the server populated enough (any rough population estimate)? If so, is there botting activity? 2) Will it be easy to find a clan/cp/random parties? (I plan to play a gladiator). 3) Is it allowed to have a buffer box? (2 clients open in total basically). 4) How are the files of the server? My last, and very recent experience was dreadful considering that the server was a total bugfest. Thank you in advance
