Tort has pretty much hit the nail on the head here.


Questing is NOT what any server lacks. In fact, questing normally distracts from the atractiveness of the server, especially when the questing is for items you need to enjoy the server in most forms.

No one wants to spend 6 hours doing quests. Why do you think classic had trouble bringing in new players over a year ago? The questing was far too complex.

If someone wanted to quest and play something by themselves, they would go play a single player game. Graal is a MMO, meaning the experience is supposed to be revolving around players interacting with eachother.

Questing is normally just hinders peoples ability to do this, as they are forced to spend time earning items before they can become a prominate member of the community.

Graal is not World of Warcraft, Lineage 2, Ragnarok Online, ect. It can not and will not be those games. No matter how good of a questing, leveling, or whatever system you have, people will still wish to default to simplicity. That's what graal is about.
