I've noticed that (particularly in programming that ) one of the main flaws people go through is they try to make the server perfect in every way ( graphics, scripts, etc etc ). This usually causes massive delays in the construction of the server and usually ends up making a major overhaul of the server itself ( rescripting everything ). This is NOT productive. If lag is an issue, code to refactor later on ( or at least isolate what you think will lag, to better work ). You don't know what will lag until you finish the server. So about the 'quality over quantity'... I think people will rather a server that works ( Zodiac is a good example ) than one that is perfect.

Additionally... Compromise. Don't go making your own server because you think its awesome. Most of the time, there is another server that has similar objectives. They probably have more content than you, AND they already paid for the server. Some of the most anticipated servers have died because of no support in development.
