Wait a sec... state of Kingdoms on 2K1?
 

Hmm...

Since Graal 2002 will have the same Kingdoms as 2k1... what will happen to the 2k1 versions?

Obviously the Kingdom leaders are going to be busy working their new territory on 2k2 to worry very much about 2k1 after launch.

Have any of the Kingdom leaders given this much thought?

When most of the Kingdoms have moved on to 2k2, just how many interesting things will there be to do on 2k1, hmm? Not much if you ask me! This needs to be brought to the table.

The obvious answer is that they will continue to coexist but I don't think that's the best solution.

Also while I'm on the soapbox here... I just want to say how much Graal 2002 is a horrible name. Also, I always thought Graal 2001 was a very uncreative name.

Stefan should go with Godspeed's idea and call it "Graal: Kingdoms" or something.

I like your idea of the name
=)

The Pirate ship is setting sail
And the caverns will cruble later down the road due to land plate movements due to the bomy moon

From what I have heard,
they will move to 2002, and be inactive, or destroyed, on 2001. Which will make it even more desolate.

Graal 2001 will be like it was 90% of the times: RPless and purely based on economy.

I kind of hope that they remain. I mean, I'm ure that one day we will all get slightly bored of RPing and have the urge to spend a day on 2K1

they'll rot away.

and this forum needs more Gandalf.

I really hope that Karakaze Troupe gets Cave on Graal 2002.

why not rename 2002 like "Graal: Fate of Kindoms" or since 2002 you play as a pirate "Graal: Destiny of Pirate"

in your signature you spelt five words wrong, good job!

When you insult people for their spelling you sound like a snob with low enough self-confidence to require such a reinforcement of your own doubt of your worth. Congratulations.

Zulithe, it's a good question. :) s far as the name is concerned, I liked 2002, but it doesn't really kill a whale with the difference, now, does it?

For kingdoms... hm... I don';t know, when 2002 comes out I probably won't play 2001 much anymore (I probably won't play 2002 much either, barring unforeseen circumstances,) so I don't really care.

Dante, your one of the people i respect most, do you think it would be a good idea to put Karakaze on Graal 2002?

It's just the names are so corporate sounding and plain.

2001... 2002... and yes, next year's 2003 probably!
We have...
Graal: Classic
Graal: NewWorld aka Graal: The New World
why can't 2001 and 2002 have better names?
Names can be important marketing tools, and they sound better than just numbers. :-/

Is the name complaint minor? Yes, pretty much, on the surface. But people go by name recognition on many things, not to mention, Graal 2001 and Graal 2002 sound too similar! It could be confusing and it's easy for people to mistype.

A name change could only be positive if you ask me :)

Since g2k1 is known as new main, g2K2 should be neo new main! ;D

A mountain troll comes and picks up all the kingdoms and brings them to the peaceful lands of Graal2002. End. :)

What about g2k3 and g2k4 and so on...?
What will the state of graal be in 20 years? Will half of it be graal 2k whatever? Graal has the potential of becoming quite the business, but Stefan needs to get things more...organized. I mean, graal compared to other online games you buy at a store is quite unpredictable. On those online games they have swear-word filters, and people that manage and make sure there is no hacking etc...but on graal there is none of that.

I bet your that mountain troll >=)

g2k1 will crumbel away and be like the crapy playerworlds

Hm... Karakaze, I have no opinion on. The kingdoms are very much integrated into the game and creating a new one may be nigh impossible. But you can always have a roleplaying guild. Is there anything wrong with that?

Corporate sounding? Yeah, I'll agree with that. Is that bad? eh. Maybe.

I think I will try and do a little engineering project of my own. See if I can shape the future, so to speak. I've never tried before.

The shinsengumi were the last swordsmen to try to live by the principles of the samurai, in a time when their own government tottered on the edge of collapse. Washizuka Keiichiro was a squad leader of the Shinsengumi, and he loved above all else loyalty. Quiet, at once undignified and proud, and ceaselessly loyal to his order, at the completion of his last mission, he was ordered to investigate hell's gate. The events drew attention even to them, so Keiichiro travelled toward it, unaware of the powerful men who went the same way...

I think there should be open caves and houses to roleplay with outside kingdom walls. That way roleplaying guilds CAN interact etc.

lol
 

Thats Farheria ppl for yah

YES! Kingdoms shouldn't get all of these fancy gate and defense system NPCs...they think RP'ing is giving yourself a fancy name and hiding behind your kingdom gate, teasing onlookers... RP'ing has changed from what I remember, playing dungeons and dragons, or doing text-based online RPGs. It used to be that you used your imagination to put yourself into an imaginary world, but now on graal, it is nothing of the sort.

After 2002 comes up, not many players will be left on 2001 to be in any kingdom. :(

I can almost fully guarantee you that I will not be letting Zormite members do that. :)

whenever people start anything with the pirates, its going down right then and there

Personally I love D&D it's fun as hell I love to go with a party of warriors and slay the monsters and gain levels and stats that's the stuff I like in online games, that's why I like Providence and Valikorlia so much :X

Everquest iscool

I rather like the bomy moon slowly causes the world to end scenerio we have been stretching out... hehe its gonna whack off all the kingdoms in g2k1 eventually

All I have to say is...What kingdoms?

When graal 2002 comes i will hate it.
Graal 2001 will be nothing
Dustari was blwon up once and will be like blown up again?
All graal 2001 will be is hats.
Thats it hats.
There will be nothing left.
IT will be borning.
All you do is sit in the market all day and wait for hats.
Or farm.
Dont we ALL love farming.
And maybe once and a while stefan might just release a new hat.
Wow that would be our excite ment for a year.
Graal 2001 sucks rihgt now.
No quests.
All you do is sit and buy hats, and make money.
theres nothing to do.
Nothing interactive.
Everything thats released becaomes old in err 5 hours
and no one ever thinks of it again.
Kingdoms are all ready like this.
People just join the kingdoms for the special NPCs and the tag to show off to all there friends,
Most of teh dang dsutari members dont even know how to RP..
even Kamuii at times.....

I bet you, someones gonna say "OH DAER THE BOMY MOON IS RADIOACTIVE" and it will blow up, making graal 2001 a baron waistland for all the newbies to run around and frolic in the boiling radioactive puddles.


Graal 2001 is crap.
It will always be crap for now on
Just you wait.
3 months after graal 2002 is released,
it will be crap.

*sighs* at least my tag was unharmed... Crusaders... a guild of old Tyealia players... even though I was never really in Tyealia.... I know the leader=D dang that name needs to be changed... I want no relation with the Christian variety... 'speccially since they're high up there on my reasons for not believing in god...

Still graal 2001 will become crap..not like it not already is..

I suggest that the current kingdoms be moved to Graal 2002, and new ones be created in their place on Graal 2001?

The kingdoms how they were before should not come back, or be created.

Maybe a group of rpers would slowly turn into a community or kingdom.
Instead of someone just deciding they will create a kingdom, and asking 20 people to join.

Yay a pub on 2002. A cave would be better, but a Pud will do i guess.
