It's been like 10 mins since the server was shut down.
It was taken off the list, then put back on hosted for staff only.
I wonder what's going on.

I beleive when a server is moved to classic its actually moved to a new server, under the same name.

Which is why classic admin accounts arent still "Admin-Playerworld#"...also would explain why trials can get on babylon.


And the day Zodiac goes classic is the day Stefan and Uniximad have officially lost all shreads of sanity they have left.

Theres no redeeming factors about Zodiac, and to boot it's a clone of Maloria.

Congrats Zodiac.

Congratulations on your triumph Yenner.

E: Just logged on. Zodiac is raping the playerlist. o-o It's destroying everything. It's up there with Unholy Nation. Good to have some new blood.

z.z, your new to seeing a new classic server eeh? lol

I laugh at the scripts i have planted in the overworld of Zodiac when I worked there, good thing I dont play Graal or i'd have some fun :)

Talk like that gets you banned :\

Although, I dont think he cares since he doesnt play anymore.

I never said their where not others? I just stated the fact that they where not the first.

Anyways Congrats Zodiac!

Really? Cause when I got on Zodiac when it first went classic there was only 75 players.

And all servers get a huge player spike when they go classic. I guarantee it'll be down to like 40 by next week.

Finally someone who has seen a server before go on classic :p

It's still a decent server from what I have seen.

Not saying it isn't - but people normally don't leave there current server for another.

Zodiac will prboally consist of Era Players, and Maloria Players (due to Era resetting). Then of course you'll have about 5 players from GK, and about 5-10 from Zodiac. And about 10 trials on.

I'd think it'd hit a nice stable 50 pcount for awhile

Which is cool. There will probably be some that will like it enough to stay, and trials may upgrade to play.
At any rate, the server looks promising, and I wish them a lot of luck at success. They deserve it. It shows they have worked hard on it.

Zodiac is proof that server DO go classic I guess. although it didnt look as easy as it was for bravo evolved, and enigma, or zone.

I would be very interested in a Staff member who was staff of Zodiac the entire way to write up a report on what it took to get through ALL The inspections. Bad things and not, i think it would be a good perperation guide for others who want to follow in their footsteps.

Ask zues :o?

Well actually zodiac went through alot. When we first started we were doing good till someone said it was all stolen so we removed it. Then basically everyone left and zodiac was dead.... Till my friend was like hey can I have zodiac so im like ok, gave him the admin account and never thought twice. When i went on one day we had some decent levels and alot of staff. Then one day he was fired for some reason so i took my account back. A guy name NeoXed came and made us a gmap. So we deleted all of our old levels.... We had no lats so their were no levels. One day a stolen level was uploaded and puppin came to say it was stolen. Then he decided to help us out. He made a full gmap (The one we used to become hosted). Then we started getting scripts going and such. I never planned zod to be like how it is. I was thinking of a server like era.... Wow i am off. Theres alot more to it but one time i felt like massing it and it took me like a hour to write. It was like 2 pages long (I should have saved it)

Best part of Zodiac: the rap radio station. Nothing like hearing Dr Dre singing about glocks and hookers.

For some reason I think this has to be violating some of Graal's rules.

This is why servers like Maloria actually have rules for their radio staff.

xD

There's an inspection for Hosted and an inspection for Classic.

You dont even have to be hosted to go classic, although I doubt any world would refuse hosted who was near qualifying for classic.

Some people argue the GST looking over your scripts for security is a separate inspection, okay, so a PWA inspection and a GST inspection...?

Doesn't sound so bad to me.

I want a GST inspection! :O!

So does everyone else, haha. >_< Join the bandwagon!

But unlike SoG, i'd probally pass ;).

And I dont think anyone wants globals to just come here and tell you you cant script - so I choose cheetos :)

Offtopic x.x

Congrats to Zodiac, though I'm not at all impressed. I'll stick to Maloria since it has the same gameplay, just better gfx. :/

Haha. No doubt.

It's not hosted on the Graal servers. Don't think it's against the rules.

Beggars can't be choosers.

I'm starting to think Zodiac wasn't ready for classic.
I'm a level 36 ninja, and there are no skills left. That means I'm going to wind up leveling
to 50 without getting anything new, it's stupid.

Other classes like summoner and paladin have ONE skill.

I'm a level 37 Mage and I still have some things to get but I chose not to get them because I was smart enough to realize that once I got high enough in level I wouldn't have much to do. Everything in moderation, I say.


Then again if you're above level 35 at all by now chances are you've been playing constantly since the server was released, so rest assured that the staff didn't expect you to level up so damn fast and then bitch about nothing to do because you nerded your way to the top.

They've still gotta work out their kinks and it obviously wasn't easy to make what they have now so get off their asses about not having anything to do/new when you're near the highest level available because you've spent the past 3-4 days constantly killing shit and enjoy what they have to offer for the time being.

That's no excuse.
When going classic, "what we're working on is.." shouldn't be taken in to concern while
being inspected.
Also, it did not take "nerding" to level up so fast, some of my friends say when they join
parties they go from 1 - 20 in like, 2 hours. That's no where near "nerding"

So yeah, my point is, is that they should of had much more done before going classic.

Well, first of all.. If we're holding a 200+ playercount, we have to be doing something right.
Honestly, Zodiac will never be complete. We're bringing out updates every day, which in my mind is why we have such a high playercount.

I agree, there was a problem with leveling that was overlooked. A certain staff member screwed up a lot of baddy archetypes, which resulted in baddies that were level 30, 40, and 50 having the stats of baddies levels 10 and 20. We fixed it as fast as possible, but the damage is already done. Nothing can be done to help it.

You tell em yen

It hasn't even been a full week. It's easy to hold people's interest for a while... but it's where your playercount stands after a month that shows the real validity. So no need to go bragging just yet. I mean, Zodiac is still fresh and new... for now.

Did you level down the people who got to such high levels through the bug/glitch/staff mistake?

It wasn't. They'll tell you I made this very clear.

No no, paladins have two! Infact - I haven't used them once!

People seems to easily forgett that ALL servers that just went classic will have the most playercount for 2 - 3 weeks, it ALWAYS drop after that.

But the question is; how much will it drop? I personally think Zodiac will keep 100 - 150 daily players.

I still think that if they waited and had people that played on hosted test new content
that was going to be released after they went classic (instead of making it a suprise)
that things would of gone 10x better.

Congratulations on the observation you want a cigar or something for pointing out on the g2k1 forums what everyone and their grandmother pointed out and realized on the very first day of playing the server?
