You guys said you would be taking play experiance for this server well this is mine.
Crafting: I found the simple crafting of 2238 10-11 the most fun and access able and you did say you woukd make it accessable
Leveling: I found 2238 again a good balance but i did find the quick leveling on Goon Haven great and easy but i dont think your server is going to be some easy PvP server and for the love of god in heaven dont make leveling like TLA MK2 its too long.
World: if it can be smaller it would be good for 100 players the world is too big maybe just north FO2 world (Reno, Modoc, Klamath, Redding, Den, Aroyyo, Gecko and Vault City) with VC being like the NCR of this server
PvP: well i guess VC (trading town) and Arroyo (noob town) can be a safe towns. Reno should be non-TC PVP town and the rest TC towns
perks and stats: 2238 2010-11 still the best i have seen no crit BGs please they ruin fun
Slaves: I like FO;Australias slave system where you can slave any NPC and have a max party of 10 slaves 9 to move on WM and for balance when slave leader died all the slaves drop dead as well.
So these are my idea's for FO2 to make it mostly more accessable to noobs.
