If people are bad at roleplaying, they will probably be ridiculed into being better at it, or just not bother and go play the quests/jobs/minigames.
I think you're deviating too far from the 2k1 idea. The mechanics of the server are not and were not broken. Bring back the old HP and old bodies, update the graphics if you like, but don't change the core mechanics. Let the players decide when and how to roleplay. Put in the bomy<->human system, but make it difficult to change back and forth (players must pay a substantial fee, bring some items, and so on). People haven't been calling for 2k1 to be changed, they've been calling for it to be revived. Some adjustments are needed, but the server doesn't have to be rebuilt. If you change it too much people just won't stay. You won't have a base community of regulars which used to frequent the old 2k1, and with no base community, there will be nothing to keep people playing. Players value playercounts, and you'll need a solid, steady one to keep people playing.

I think you misread something somewhere. I said I want to "encourage" roleplay. I think I've pointed out a dozen times now that I do not want to enforce roleplay. This is all just a bunch of misunderstandings and I refuse to sit here and argue with people who don't actually know what my server is going to be about. It's just wasting my time and getting people all worked up for no reason.
Also, as much as I value the old community, it is not my intention to please them in every way possible. I don't know why you would think this in the first place. The server will be fun (in my opinion) and should attract many people. Old community or not. I'm trying to make the server in a way that would attract new people, as well as interest the original players.
I'm not going to bow to each and every person's demands. If you don't like that, then you don't have to play. I don't want to see a bunch of people reply with "omgz u wont keep playerz if u dont listen 2 us!111". I think we will leave that up to everyone to decide after I release the server. I'm open to people's opinions (when I've asked for them), but I am not open to demands. I'm sorry if that disappoints you.
Stop worrying about something you aren't sure of anyway.
