It should have been ended about six posts ago.

Yeah, the overworld is amazing. By far the most appealing overworld on Graal, currently. Hopefully, more in-depth systems will come, but as far as the grunt work of the levels and the small but handy custom GFX go, nothing currently out tops Delteria Dev. Nothing comes close. With the exception of Kingdoms.

The only thing that has really kept me away from playing Delteria in honesty is the staff team. Although the project looks nice if it ever gets on its feet the argument which ensued in this thread doesn't exactly restore my faith.

Yeah, right.

I vote VS: Conflict =D

Well, first of all, I said currently out. :P

Obviously VS: Conflict was a great map, but in Wan like fashion, it died. Unless it was revived again, surely to die again.

You realize Kingdoms is a badly rescripted version of an old MUD right? Kingdoms is the worst piece of garbage ever. What a scam.

Delteria on the other hand is awesome. Thanks to its awesome Dev Admin!

You?

Npulse actually has a very very nice OW is the making that rival VS:Conflict. and Im not a big fan of pulse at all but Im not afraid to admit it.

And the poor scripting it has is still a lot better than Delteria's. It has dedicated players. Delteria doesn't. Don't get me wrong, I love Delteria, but trying to compare the two, content wise, is absolutely ridiculous.

GK only has to upper hand when it comes to graphics.

Tort babigurl, I love you.

Hahaha Ken? What's up you mother ****er. Why are you still around here?


Old Delt vs. Kingdoms, sure. New Delt? The only thing New Delt doesn't have is that stupid fighting system, the ugly new bodies, broken spells and combat systems, buggy dungeons, and that retarded script that makes you walk 10x slower when going up a hill of sand.

Mostly just lurk and jump into threads that peak my interest now and then, rarely play the game besides logging on for 5 minutes and then off quickly.

nah but for real tortoise sucks at sparring

GK had a mudlib before there was GS2, you wouldn't have had nearly enough ability to do the same.

Zenkou and the new 2K1 beat both Kingdoms and Delteria by a stretch.

Uh I probably wouldn't have needed to. The expanded core systems (as in **** beyond classic sparring and PKing) are retardedly simple.

It's semantic at this point, but I am pretty unimpressed by Kingdoms.


As for Zenkou I don't know much about the server but until it's released you have just as little right to brag as we do. Then again, the whole reason this thread is here is because we're ready to be released. Someone enable gs2 on Delt Live please!

Finished:

• Account Storing
• Econemy
• System [Control of the player]
• Movement
• Overworld [I think...]

To-do: [in order]

1. Inventory [Item control basically...]
2. New Quests
3. Weapons [Shouldn't be too hard with the item control]
4. Visual Effects
5. Events

Ah I wish I had some VIP. I would come and check it out. What exactly is account storing?

I don't know what Econemy is but this server sounds fun!

Events coool

That may have stinted you're drive to play Delteria in the past, but I can personally vouch for the fact, as someone who had a lot of problems with Delterian staff in the past, that Delteria has completely cleaned up it's act as far as staff is concerned, and have nothing but dedicated workers. All of the people working on the Dev server are the type of staff that you want running a server. There is none of that abusive crap going on, and it won't be tolerated anymore.

N-Pulse does have a nice overworld, my problem with it however is that most players restrain themselves to the two or three main world levels that contain the spar arena and the events house. I also have a problem with the fact that their "new overworld" is simply an extension of the current one while preserving it's original design.

I tend to disagree. Yes, GK has a lot of advanced, 3-D look-a-like graphics, but I think that the graphics team on Delteria has done a fabulous job with the tileset as well as the NPCs around the world. Everyone knows Sandz and Cloven make fabulous graphics. Add in the expertise of Misconception and various other staff members and I believe Delteria has an extremely competitive graphics department.

You're not qualified to make that statement because you have no idea what New Delteria is about. I'm not qualified to make the reverse statement either because I have no idea what Zenkou is all about.


Overall I'm thrilled with the progress on Delteria and I think many people are going to be shocked once everything is released.

I'm talking about Delteria not New Delteria. :p

Well seeing as I have seen all of Delteria Dev I am qualified to make that statement. Its nothing more than a nice port town and an overworld. When I was there development was completely halted and no one but a graphics designer was there. There is absolutely no content to the server. You think I would make impressions out of thin air?

....Thats how it was for me the 2nd go around.

Grey was speaking of how the staff team has acted in this thread so far as a relation of how they acted while running the server. So kinda hard to say their is a change. Plus that kinda BS should be expected on graal since some how people become quite conceited.

You have severely contradicted yourself. You say that you are qualified to make a statement about the quality of the server, but admit the last time you saw it was when development was completely halted. Thus, you obviously haven't seen a good portion of it because a thick part of the server development happened after your experience.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but his initial statement regarding the staff was likely based upon previous experience. He said that the argument in this thread (which by the way really started with you, not Delterian Staff), has not restored his faith. I'm vouching for the fact that the developing staff on the server is much better than the previous staff team that many people are familiar with.

If you quickly skim through the posts, you'll notice that all posts that may be considered part of this "argument" were all in response/defense to an unnecessary critic.

All my comments which were based off my previous experiences could have been ignored. But you said it yourself, this argument in this thread does not restore his faith. Who started it really does not matter because the staff team contributed.

What kind of staff wouldn't argue for their server?

Well Del is a playerworld and they get no money from Stef/Unix so they can take as long as they want and nothing would/could be done unless Stef/Unix step in and then it would be even worse. As for the progress stopping its probably lazy staff like 90% of all other PWs.

Maybe one that wants to be more professional?And at the same point if they defend their servers, if you actually read the argument their would be better ways to do it.

Most servers do have a few lazy staff members. Not like its a big secret lol.

If you guys go back and actually look at how many staff members are commenting on this thread you'd realize the number is 1 or 2 and neither of them are huge development members.

The rest are paying graal customers who just want to see the new overworld. In fact I made this thread not to see a bunch of people bicker, but to see work get done. I heard that Stefan has recieved the support ticket, so let's hope Delteria is updated this week.

One of this is the Administrator lol.

If the date on your post was in 06 instead of 07 you'd be right!

K switched Delteria to GS2

erm, Tort is the Dev Admin, Alex is an Admin, and I'm a Developer. Just an FYI.

Anyway, all is well and Delteria is ready for release. Jump for joy!

*jumps for joy*

thanks!

Wow...You guys are ****ing crazy sometimes, ya know that? I know I've been guilty of getting into arguments with some of you in the passed as well, but seriously come on....

Anyway, it's good to hear that you guys finally finished up, can't wait to see how everything turned out. I should have some time off of work sometime next week, I'll be stopping by then. :)

Oh wow, I love your signature. I'm surprised I never saw him say that.

New Delt release = This Friday
