Revival is what all the cool kids do. My personal view on the why is this.

1. Instant gratification: You just upload and you have a server. No needless energy wasted on things like level making or using your imagination to decide on a nice storyline. Granted, its going to be buggy and none of the scripts will work right but you have a server!

2. Instant notoriety and respect: Its a known name by the older crowd and with all the hype it must be a good server right? Everyone will know and love me for bringing it back!

3. Pipe dream #1: Since it was a Classic tabbed server once, it will instantly become one again. Meaning you won't have to pay for as long to develop something before you get the proverbial free ride.

4. Pipe dream #2: It had a solid player base that most surely will return if its back online. Hence, you don't have to worry about attracting new players.

In conclusion, the old servers were great because of the community that grew during their time. Graal is about community more than what content the server holds or what name it had. You cannot bring back its community and even if you did it wouldn't be the same. They've all grown older and have different lifestyles and tastes now. Meaning, enjoy the nostalgia of the server that once was and use those brains of yours to make something new and fresh instead of trying to recycle something that wore out long ago.
