Changing manager honestly wouldn't make a difference because we have no scripters/devs on the server to hire so we'd still get the same amount of updates (which seems to be what players complain about the most).

Honestly the game got boring for me when really epic sets starting to become common among everyone.

Also we had no active ETs for a very long period of time since Tiu decided to do double duty between Dev and ETA. I was kinda annoyed when Zodiac stopped doing the monthly tournaments a while ago especially since we had a good playercount.

Well Ketso has been teasing us with a big update soon...so idk but I think it's just the end of an era to be honest. PC Graal in general is dying.

Honestly you can find scripters VERY easily. The game lacks any serious advertising. Your best bet for scripters would be college students looking to use their education on scripting to come work on Zodiac in their spare time until they land a job, they could work on Zodiac, see where they go with it and then go from there. That's what Symmasolan does and Ketso does it as well. It's practice. Reddit is one of the internet's biggest pools of people next to 4chan. People go on reddit every day, so if someone can whip up a snazzy banner/flyer advertising Zodiac, that'd be great.

You wanna know something else though? Ragnarok Online I believe is older than Graal and they have prosperous private servers that are better than the original game. They do well because they constantly advertise.

welp time to delete zod and add malaria :pluffy:

I sometimes wonder if part of why PC Graal is dying is because of the lack of per server updates.

ironically i think zod had too many updates for its own good

whos gonna sit there and farm when theyre worried about economy/their **** being **** tier? no security, who would want to continue playing?

:oo:

)))?

Shut it down.

hi ra

What's up?

nm, you still play?

I logged on Zodiac a few days ago and the server has potential, but it's so messy. The level design in general is putrid, there was a really poor choice of color for the tiles. It needs new level design and tile graphics. Other than that there are some neat effects, programming, ganis, etc. Not really my type of MMO but I do like grindy stuff. And yeah, the players are really annoying there (not expecting any different really though).

Also when I say that it needs new level designs, I mean it seriously. There was nothing I saw that is salvageable. Throw the entire OW in the trash, and interior levels, and start over.

new map would be cool but a lot of work

I don't know the intricacies of Zodiac very well, but would a new map really be a lot of work? It just needs to be big enough to contain entrances for the dungeons with enough space between nation flag or whatever

Yeah with modern dev tools like gonstruct and tile-editor I'm able to get large scale leveling jobs done quickly that previously would have taken much more time.
