Status?
 

Where does this server sit now that Carlito has been fired and likely no replacement? To be frank, I am quite disappointed with how this was handled by all parties. Now it looks like a release is impossible.

its in unixmad's hands

thor should just apply for md's job and do it himself

I haven't heard from Unix or Alpho about the Graal Worlds client in a few months, but from what I understand, if they are to get it released then Classic does have a chance. I don't understand for the life of me why it's not already on the main serverlist on the PC client though, which leads me to have some doubts in if this will really happen or not. You'd think they would list Classic basically the same day they made the claim it could be on Worlds client, you know?

I'll do it guys, I'll do it.

I don't know how much Thor has said publicly, but I will say that he had the opportunity to have the server relisted last year but refused because of promises he was waiting on being delivered. He was too hard headed to budge so the server remains in limbo.

That's so weird. If it were me I would greatly prefer being listed on PC to any iphone nonsense, but I seriously don't know one person that owns an iphone or that plays mobile smartphone games.

I'm pretty sure that he actually wants people to play the content he's working on

Yeah, not indoctrinated robots, that's why I mentioned PC as the preferable choice.

Although robots are good too, I'm not saying they aren't valid. If I could craft a personality cult that only lives to play my game, I'd do it.

Who said puff had been fired???

better to be iphone (iclassic) and have players than be listed and have 0

The server was shut down. It was the original server. How does this happen?

It was my home server and waiting for it's official rerelease was the only reason that I've stuck around this long. A part of my childhood died today. :(

x_x

Didn't Alpho quit Graal? Yknow, which seemed weird given he was being all influential and whatnot with his attempts to innovate for the development tools and all that.

There were new development tools?


Also, since classic has been abandoned-- I volunteer to become Mr. Manager.

Zip4MrManager.

why would someone actively sabotage their own product


Now that Classic and UN are both actually dead, what "classic graal" style server does graal offer?

;)

what "classic graal" style server does graal offer where I am presently capable of being the fishgirl that I see myself as in my heart of hearts

everyone should be aware by now that unixmad's concern is a unique ios server that has the potential to bring in great sales, he doesn't care if the pc playerworld lacks a classic server or not. there is no point in having a classic style server if nobody is going to play it! :noob:

gta / un would never be chosen since their concept collides with iclassic.

Your logic is completely euphemistic. Example:

It's not unique, it's a clone of a server that already existed

This is not correct. I have no other way to put this for you other than bluntly. In order for a collision of one thing into another thing to occur, there must first be one thing in the location where the collision occurs. If one thing collides with another, it can be assumed that the thing colliding into the other thing came second.

Which one came first, and which one came second? I would like you to answer that simple question.

You're acting like iClassic existed before GTA. That's wrong. Trust me, I was there. iPhone didn't exist.

prob the classic spar event on zodiac

obviously everyone knows that it's a reskin and that gta came first. :noob:

by unique i meant each server has it's own theme, the combat feels slightly different (excluding era & zone)

what matters is that iclassic hit ios before gta could which is why stephan didn't want GtA listed unless there is a major change to the tileset and gameplay.

:(

Idk, maybe it's just me, but that sounds kinda dumb.

It's not even just a reskin, GTA was shaping up to be something entirely different that just happened to utilize the same levels for a town.

On one hand, I get Unix's issue, "it would be confusing to have two servers using the same content", but that wasn't actually an issue. They would present entirely different takes on the same product. It wouldn't confuse anyone and the two servers, if on the same platform, would be just as much competition for each other as any two classic servers would've been.

That's like saying Zone would confuse people because it used the same type of bodies as Graal Kingdoms. Or even more similar to GTA vs iClassic - I don't see Bomy Island and Kingdom's similarities causing one to get blacklisted.

my reply was towards this sentence about the ios servers. you're talking about the old days when stefan was here, it was different back then. and people hardly remember or care about zone, bomy island and gk.

Yeah exactly. I see people making the argument that we can't have multiple servers with the same theme, when the theme of Graal2001 (events + economy + hats) has been appropriated by almost every server. It's palpably bad logic to the point where it appears to be mental gymnastics.

events + economy + hats arent really themes

crono stole my words !pissed!

.

Let's just face the facts: PC Graal is dead.

Unixmad is taking no effort to revive the platform and obviously doesn't see the need (it exists to keep iGraal servers coming, but he is obviously unable to see or understand that).
The promised "new client" will probaply never be released, and websites and forums are outdated, with graalians.com there are now even two "official" forums.

@Thor: Thank you for your work, GTA would have been the much better Classic. Sad that it had to end this way.

But let's all be honest, I knew this would happen on long term for 1-2 years. No movement on Unixmads side, probaply Dusty blocking the project aswell, and neither of them wanted to endanger their Cashcow iClassic, although there was no danger at all. Maybe Thor can now "let it go" and work on something, that is more promising than a dead platform.

Sorry for the double post:

When all the the playerworlds are gone, when all graalians have left the pc.
People will notice, that a 5" Display is not big enough for development.

RIP Graal.

yet when summed in an equation somehow form the basis of one

you're arguing against a strawman there, as I quite particularly never said that was a list of individual themes.

maybe try reading my post next time? idk maybe english isn't your strong language

idk maybe ur just retarded

If being correct about something makes one retarded, my name is Wesley Willis.

:cool:

I'm actually talking about right now. The GTA that is being stiffed in the now is not just something that iClassic is a clone of, it's was a unique project with new content that just happened to share a basic map.

And Bomy Island development is happening right now, and Graal Kingdoms still exists.

*thumbs up*

zone pc would be the bomb, only need like 20 players and it's fun

I miss Classic :(

What happened to Thor?
