I think that it would be a cool idea if you could have (at least) two characters you could play. Just about every other MMORPG I've played let's you have at least 3, and I think it would be a nice addition to Graal. But make it so that the two characters aren't able to share things with each other, I think that would add more depth to the game. Although other MMORPGs allow you to share the same bank account, there's good things and bad things about that. I mean you could help your other character out by making money on the other one and transferring it over. But at the same time this would make the game less interesting and have a lack of depth (i.e. they are just given items all the time instead of working for them like the other character did), so that's why I think overall it's best to make it so they don't interact with each other. I also like that idea about the new jobs, make it more interactive via mini games. You can make it so when you are mining you have to use the mouse along with the keyboard to make sure that you hit the rock in the right place (i.e.: holding the axe steady horizontally by pressing keys and clicking to pick at the rock, might not be able to script it, but it's an idea ;D). Once you hit it, the piece of rock chisels away, but if you hit the actual ore, you lose a chance of getting a "perfect" ore (one where you don't have to clean it and make it pretty, etc.) or you get a smaller one, something like that. Once again these are just some ideas I have, I'll try to come up with more. Me and Kyden have been talking about ideas and if possible I'd really like to help, because I really miss 2k1, it was my most favourite server of them all. *tear*

EDIT: I know that the two character idea is practically impossible on Graal, I was just saying that if it was at all possible it would be a fun addition. It would allow you to experience other jobs that you didn't pick on the other character, but that's probably a lot of complex scripting and such. But that was just a minor idea, the main point of this post is about the job interaction and such. I'll post more when I think of ideas. ^^

Just browsing through this thread, sounds neat, and would be really awesome if this gets finished. Curious to what Lance thinks of this, though.

I really loved being a bomy Koni. And with the server being classic you're gonna draw in all types of new crowds. New players always want to experiment with new races. I'm sure a ton of them will reset once they realize how hard being a bomy is, but you still will have your hardcore bomy players. The bomy pet system was fine as it was. I loved my kawie <3. I really don't think alot of bomy clothing should be available. We were treated like crap and I didn't mind. Pearl diving was fun as hell, and we swam fast ;]. Maybe just MAYBE add some type of hat system to bomys. I know this has been suggested in the past, but the only bomys which would be afflicted by this are the gangster bomys who have hats on. Eh, I don't know. We need some type of collectable item. I really am bad with this kind of crap but I know there were great ideas posted by other people somewhere else. Damn..I'm trying to think. All I care about is my kawie bomy and my island PH. Those were the only things I ever cared about keeping mine. Then Tseng stole my house (DAMN YOU WHEN YOU WERE TSENG #$#@#$@#$). Kawie wasn't put out as a pet for a while, but I spent a hell of a lot of money to make sure she was mine. Hats weren't my thing. Oh, I collected apples too. I loved apple farming..NEVER CHANGE IT.

If you do have a two-race system, make sure you provide ample instruction in how to alternate between the two.



EDIT: Fixed a terrible typo, but not before it was quoted.

yes dont make people have a "set" race

Wasn't alternation a factor to the death of 2001?
Taking the fun out of being one or the other. While one may have been more disadvantaged than the other, the point in races is to be one or another, not to be all at once?

no i dont mean you can be both races i mean like let someone play a bomy but if they hate it let them change races but deleat all there current items so they cant make loads of money pearl diving then switch to human and buy loads of hats etc.

there are staff online to reset players

or there was that /reset command i think that gk had

well if the staff are anything like mals (i tryed to get them to fix a account problem for me) its been like 3 months and its still not fixed so i cant play...

Well, oh so coincidentally, Graal 2001's staff doesn't not equal Mal's staff.

/restart. :)

When I switched from human to bomy, it only took a few minutes to get reset.

i was talking about mal but im just saying a automatic thing so you dont need staff would be nice.

Couldn't you just get another player to hold your items and graalat while you switched around?
