"Lobbies" the server
 

i want to pitch this idea to you guys. the basic premise, which is what i think a new PC server needs, is to be simplistic. the focus will be sparring and PKing for global guilds, and private lobbies (or group lobbies) for people to sit around and chill in.

i feel like what is left of classic graal is people sitting around talking to one another, and playing events. seeing as there is only UN left on the active tab, i think there needs to be a new classic server to improve on the areas that UN has notoriously never changed in the past: their sparring and PKing. we have had the new TC spar for quite some time, and it has never been changed or adapted to what has happened to sparring. TCPK has been the same one-level 3 heart room for as long as i can remember, and people don't typically give it much use. the only thing left for UN is events, and i think that's fine.

i picture lobbies as being a server where you log on, and are placed in an individual lobby. each lobby will just be a simple level with chairs or some ****. players can exit lobbies and then automatically travel to another by clicking a new one on a big list.

lobbies such as sparring or PKing would be at the top of the list. then, a list of each other player who is online would have a lobby. guilds could have personal lobbies. i think you see where i'm taking this.

and that is all the server would be. do you think it would work?

No.

You could have saved yourself a lot of typing by just saying "Kinda like UN but not too much like UN" as has been seen in countless "new server" threads.

Same

There was a server like this, no one played.

Also just log on UN.

A 'Skip all full-hearts, sword, and shields quests' (Don't a majority rely on a guide to do them anyway?) option and dynamic player and guild houses on UN could completely deprecate your lobbies idea.

The hole lobby concept reminds me a lot of phantasy star universe (xbox 1 / live only).

I like a lobby idea, but I'd suggest limiting it entirely to IRC mode with messaging limitations (every 30 seconds or so) so that players are encouraged to move to servers. It'd be a good place to display rankings / achievements as well as news.

That has to be the most boring server idea I've ever heard.

The playerbase for Graal isn't even at a point yet where we have enough players to 'idle' in lobbies.

UN would lose its playercount bro

I miss the times where players could have their own houses on the gmap... that should be made possible again... and encourage them to start developing with that way... I remember being all happy for having a house yeaaars ago... and whenever I build a new one I had it replaced by a LAT...

cool story^

Rather play habbo.
HAHA


But no really, there's more people in one room of Habbo than on Graal PC...
Must've done something right.

No, mustve done something DIFFERENT... you can't compare Habbo with Graal.
