Zodiac: The WoW of Graal
 

Has anyone noticed how much Zodiac seems to be turning into World of Warcraft more and more each day? I don't mean to bust their chops at all, but they seem to get most of their content from WoW. :(

Yen even said it himself that he ripped off WoW.

Not really. Yen told me he ripped off multiple games.

Also discussing other MMORPGs has been illegal for years now.

Blizzard wouldn't tolerate all of the corrupt staff running around on zodiac. I find it more to be like a soap opera, full of emotion and always goes in a circle.

aka emo children

What dictatorship?

Poorly.

They are different levels of dimension.

and quality

I was joking around if there was an release date of the Auction House and Zeus friggin answered with a: "It doesen't work correctly, sorry"
I LOL'ed for real

and...? Not funny :o

I think it is. I was joking about some auction house to make a mental slap to the staff and Zeus comes and tells me that they actually already made that.
I am talking about a WoW styled auction house not like the ones other servers have.
Err....ok never mind im being vague...
EDIT:
I thought I did! X.x :p

Ah, you could of said that ;)

It has been confirmed that calani (The manager), has been ripping off of WoW. I told her about a decent suggestion I thought of that many people liked and she replied with, "Then it wouldn't be like WoW." I also have no idea why she is on vacation, she never works.

EDIT: I noticed I sort of necro posted, I don't know the limit you guys have on how many days before you can go without posting.

LOL I love you!

I think WoW is the ****tiest game ever...and that reflects to Zodiac. :) So yeah, other than just ideas, Zodiac is like WoW. :D

Google: define: joke

This seems kind of bad until you realize that 2K2's mudlib was literally bought from another game.

Actually it was based off of Crossfire, and that is Open-Source.

I always found it hard to believe Graal would actually shell out money for something.

Every staff would be fired by now and 50% of Graal would be banned if Blizzard owned Cyberjouers

Anyone notice how any pixel art that looks decent on Zodiac is stolen? Let's take a looksie -

Oh for those who don't know - That's Marluxia from Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories

It used to be better.

Zodiac is one dead ugly server when it comes to pixel art. Their graphics artist should be ashamed.

And fired.

Why are you even bothering mentioning calani? Yen made the server's system.

The most recent updates are made by her or Ziro.

-Making level 45+ items "soulbound".
-At the beginning of the reset, the newbie dungeon was an Instance.

I don't think using the Torque engine for Graal3D was free...

I second that. and there are some 3D programs that are good that you can get for free.

What the hell is an instance?! All these geeky kids always say **** like that, wtf does it mean?

An instance is like a quest but harder and you do it with group and usually there is a nice prize at the end lol = )

thats how i like to think of it

Make Zodiac Gold and retool Kingdoms.

An instance is where only a party can enter and you don't see others in the same map.

Yea, mostly done by using copylevel() and fancy things like that.

Or just use the same levels and hide people not in your map.

NPC Code:

---

for (temp.p : players) {

  p.zoom = p.account in this.accountslist;

  p.ispaused = !p.zoom;

}

---

And thus we can replicate no-pk zones for only certain individuals.
