A theory
 

Perhaps the reason it appears that stefan and unixmad "get nothing done" is because they are forced to deal with all the problems of the many bad playerworlds.

every day i see a new thread or something of that sort about how some bad staff got ftp and deleted everything on "playerworldia" or "graalica"

stefan and unixmad have to deal with millions of emails, pms, and stuff like that about this, and eventually they have to deal with it

solution: either get rid of all bad playerworld and set higher standards, or simply state that neither stefan or unixmad will provide service to playerworlds, and not letting bad staff get ahold of ftp and deleting the playerworld is the owners' responsibility

A combination of both of those would be nice.

that doesnt happen that often that that causes them to not do work.

I see it all the time. Not just someone got ftp and deleted everything, but "npc server went down" or something else. I'm sure it happens almost every day on one PW or another

Re: A theory
 

i think it's ridiculous to have playerworlds anyway. i liked the concept of G----Server. stefan could always give them the power to host their servers, but charge them for it. that's when graal prospered most...

NPC Servers have auto reboot now.

Re: A theory
 

That is one thing I look forward to in the future of Graal. The deletion of playerworlds under the standard. That would mean more players travel to other servers, making higher server populations, which make many server opportunities! I suppose they don't want to face all the controversy from people who either worked on the shutdown PW or played it.

That is why we keep them informed on the PW forum about which servers have a chance to be taken down, and they need so and so in an order of time to stay up. If not boom! Server gone. :)

Re: Re: A theory
 

i agree.
It'd be okay if there were a couple, 2 or 3 PWs online and they were quality, like 2k1 or something, but instead we get like 10 playerworlds that are worse than classic (excluding my dear lovely providence)

i remember when i was PW reviewer, I accepted two great playerworlds, Providence and Murasamune. Stefan didn't want to upload either, saying providence didn't have enough stuff (which was rubbish) and something similar for Murasamune (which featured amazing NPCs and graphics)

this brings up another point: stefan has NO TASTE

G2K1 has a Graal counterstrike game and that terrible hunting park, which PROVES that he has no taste.

Oy vey, there's no solution :(

Actually, just make me head PW reviewer and PW admin with power to remove and add playerworlds. I fix EVERYTHING.

Hell yeah!

TrueHeaT for Head PW! (Well.. Toran, though. :()

Re: Re: Re: A theory
 

Eh, if you're saying Classic is rubbish, you need to look again. As for Providence, it WAS a great great pw, but since madmartigan and mido are gone, it seems to have gone down the drain. They lost all their players because there's nothing to do now. If they're going to close places to release a new system, they need to either
a. release it within a day
b. make some stuff to hold themover.

wow, is toran still doing it? jesus, he was doing it when i did it a LONG time ago

Re: Re: Re: Re: A theory
 

I'm saying it's different from back then. A long time ago, classic was what Graal looked like. Things have changed, classic is ugly and dated. The layout is bad, is doesn't flow well.

Neonight:

I'm pretty sure he is. ^_^ I wouldn't mind being PWR, simply because I could not be corrupt... Hahah... Because... I don't play Graal... yeah. I could download the client and check stuff, though.

It does have somewhat of a bad layout, but a lot of that would probably change if Com becomes manager when Tyhm goes bye bye.
