However, do you think that the majority of graal will want to play it?
Maybe what gave 2k1 its 'charm' wouldn't be so attractive now? What made 2k1 so special... the fact that you were actually doing something that seemed productive? Will players still want to do that..? The hats? Many servers do the exact same thing with them that 2k1 did now. The bomies? Will new players want to try a completely new race? The simple economy? Will players want to work for hours and make gralats while instead they could work for hours on GK and get satisfaction through killing people with your strength? The community? Well, for one, the community is all but gone, it seems (very few of the original players seem to still be around). What will make people want to play 2k1?
Maybe 2k1 should just be laid to rest... Even if you remake it and change a lot of things to make it attractive to current players, would it still technically be 2k1 then? It's been four years, man. Four long years. Graal has changed a lot since then. Maybe graal has 'evolved', for lack of a better word, beyond what made 2k1 attractive.

I do believe a heavily revised 2k1 would be popular. The old players would remember some of the stuff from the past, and new players will have a whole new server to explore. I think the all new graphics alone will make people want to stick around a while and see how the server unfolds. There are very few servers with nice new graphics.
Of course I can't promise that 2k1 will be as "special" as it once was. That's impossible. But I do intend to keep everything that gave 2k1 it's appeal. Bomy pets, the fun jobs (okay they were fun at the time, they need revision), instruments and stuff to buy... etc.
I comprehend what I'm doing and understand that 2k1 by itself would not do well at this point in time. That is why I'm pushing to revise it enough so that people will feel it's a totally new server. The remaining "oldbies" of original 2k1 time will find the server to be refreshing yet familiar. That's all I want to achieve.
