I honestly think it is a trivial thing to worry about an individual look in an online game. I can understand that you made those graphics for you, but come on..when you upload a graphic, you should be able to live with the fact that maybe someone else likes your work too and wants to use it..I'd be flattered if it were to use a graphic I made. And if you're worried about idiots massing bad things, dont.. If it pleases them to act their IQ as opposed to their ages; then it's their cup o' tea.

I have got one sword, one shield and three (though they suck) heads online that nobody uses, and one head that only CheeToS uses to my knowledge, but it was edited by someone :)
I think it would be stupid to have private heads. Why would Graal want your heads online if only you use them?

2k1 used to have some, but they only work on servers with a npcs

I have a personal head on newmain, but if someone actually wanted to use head 788 with a zal monocle, far be it from me to object!

Zal HUD. ;D
Monocles are glasses.
HUDs are... heads up displays.

It's a one-sided heads up display haha, i.e. a monocle ;)

The fact that these are paid accounts leads me to believe that each person should be able to have at least 1 private head. The other heads don't matter, most of the people who made the older heads are long gone.

Please don't use the bandwidth argument either, because if there is a bandwidth problem then those old crappy heads should be deleted first. Also I don't see how many people being allowed to use the same head would lower the bandwidth. Not to mention the fact that every time new graphics are uploaded people start using them, so the fact that there are no private graphics takes up more bandwidth because people feel that they have to be able to use EVERY head. A head that isn't being used often = less badwidth. Bandwidth costs more than space.

If a person took the time to make any kind of graphics, they should be able to use at least one of them in any way they see fit.

If you don't want other people to enjoy it, dont' send the file to a PUBLIC server. End of discussion.

Your right, I was going off of my banner because I host it on my server. I just realized that I only use more bandwidth when more people view threads with my banners. :D

Same here, I made head1275.png and hockeystick-shield.png and noone uses them. Heck even I don't use my shield, but maybe it'll get some use when my games arena gets uploaded.

You know what I did when I first started playing graal? I found a head nobody used at the time, which was sweet because it was head 534.gif, and just stuck with it. If someone asked what number it was I wouldn't tell them, because a lot of people are just way too lazy to go through all of the heads to look for it. :)
