Animal Crossing shares some of the same ideas as Graal2001 without actually being connected. This could be elaborated on very well.

Can Graal2001 come back out yet?

it was actually a lot more fun then.

Animal Crossing honestly would be the best franchise to model a server after. I noticed while playing AC that there were many of the same elements and items contained in that game that were also found in Graal2001 (hats, shovels, apple farming, fishing, trading between players, online competition, scheduled events and NPCs, player houses, the list goes on really).

It seems like a recent update to Graal made a few things on Graal2001 stop working, but the majority of the server still works. I do need people to help test the events (can't do that with one player) and see what works and what doesn't, and then people to script whatever might be needed. The train still works and most of everything I have tried that can be done with one player.

I think there are some people who believe that the whole server needs to be re-scripted. But it is my opinion that nothing will feel the same if that were to happen, so I believe it should not happen. I think that Graal should rather update its support for Gscript1 to work right.

[x] online competition (spar leaderboards, etc)
[/] scheduled events (currently just a GST every season)
[x] player houses and tons of furniture
[x] npcs and rp areas
[x] 1000+ playercount

Yeah, it doesn't have the sort of pacing or charisma though.
Plus, I think that a platform with no buttons as the control method is a total letdown for me as a hardcore gamer that would probably put thousands of hours into the game if it were on a better suited platform. Instead iClassic, with its thousand playercount that every one of us have dreamed of seeing on a Graal server, does not appeal to me at all..
