of course you would. Blek

Sorry to interrupt . . but back to the original post . .

I like most of the OPs ideas for UN. Back when I sort of cared about the direction of the server, I thought using the job systems to gather materials, and using those materials to create the items/hats we can buy would be a good idea. Your idea of tying it into actual gameplay and the achievement system seems like it would be more fun though.

It was kind of depressing for me to realize that UN wasn't made to make sense . .at all. Maybe after a few more management changes we can get this all sorted out.

back to whatever

UN is a classic server mostly for the reasons Hiro has been pointing out

Maybe you forgot about the several guilds that had wars and utilized Castlewars, competitive pking/sparring, and a wide community in UN's earlier years. =p. UN was only showered with crap NPC's in recent years.


UN has had 6 different managers in the past 2 1/2 years, 4 being this year alone. Don't just suggest a few more management changes, just suggest what the current management can do now. Though that is entirely dependent on the staff team working with each other, which sadly has never been an easy case, and still isn't one now.


I don't see why there is an argument on why/why not UN is a Classic Server...Clearly it is, even if it is showered with a bunch of useless npc's.

Oh, you mean what every server had but better? UN only became a respectable ground for sparring after every other server died.

wasn't meant to be taken seriously. I was just pointing out the fact that we've changed managers 3? times in the past year and not a lot has changed. I could see how what I said could be taken as a slight against current management, but it wasn't meant that way.

I'm pretty much indifferent to our current administration, as I don't really know what is being worked on aside from your CW and GK's tower defense.

When I was working as "VIP" staff on UN I was going to make myself a house. Except my house was going to be a complex "Adventure-style" quest.

I had already planned out all the mechanics and started writing out the backstory of the mansion as well as the overall plot, and started making concepts for various NPC's in the house. The goal was going to be to go around and collect items and solve the mystery of Dusty's Manor, which revolved a lot around avoiding shadows and getting the lights back on(hence the dark areas on the map). It was going to have its own inventory system and everything, but oh well.

No bedrooms?

There were going to be separate floors.

Yeah, but not many servers (from whenever i played to so on) had an average playercount of 250+. I'm not saying UN is a perfect server, but it had it's peak aside from what was originally said.

I want to say that if Crono doesn't work out as Manager, Streety should probably be made Manager again. That guy was Manager for over a year, and we have had problems getting people to even last a month or two.

I'm not too sure because he seemed to be just another "I want this project and this project to be on the server" instead of willing to fix it's core issues.

If you're a Manager of Zodiac and Era, it's alright to work on projects because their servers have legitimate playability. On UN it's just playing events until something new gets released, wait until it gets old after a week or two, go back to playing events.

Why not try something new and different?

Streety?
Manager?
Again?

You're ****ing high!!

Well, those obnoxious NPCs seem to be entertaining most of the players hence your Wynde example. If UN was terrible, it wouldn't have one of the highest playercounts since it was first released and counting.
Sorry, but flushing down almost 5-6years of work for most players isn't really going to do it. Infact, UN will just totally be wiped off the serverlist because I don't think anyone will want to start from scrap; they'll either quit Graal itself or move on to a different server.
