Lol you do realize the casual "newbies’ you speak of will be all over your server once they copy all your builds. Trying keep your build secret forever like it hasn’t already been flushed out forever in kToS. Stat and Skill resets are coming. Whether you like it or not.
That aside, on the topic of a real hardcore and casual server:
Hardcore servers should have server-wide PK. This should be the only real difference. Player Killing and item drop on death is a good start. Focusing on stat/skill resets doesn’t really change anything, people will happily try all options on casual then reroll their ‘perfect’ build on hardcore.
