Val has some nice graphics and decent levels the potential is there for it to be a popular server.

The problem is that to RP in Val you basically have a glorified chatroom. I think most people play Graal want to play a game and not just chat. There doesn't seem to be any kind of balance between chat RP and actual gaming. Having some monsters and dungeons and stuff like that would be good. (In reasonable amounts.) However I'm completely against any form of a leveling system as it really makes it harder for newer players to dive right into the RP due to level disparity between players.

For such a hardcore RP server I have to say I was sorely dissappointed with the quality of the RP.

I saw people licking each other, quoting lines from LoTR, some people with bushes talking about having a threesome and one guy who kept going on about how he wishes he could poison some one with mercury and then went into great detail about how it would look. For a charater wanting to do that he sure was vocal about it. (The last part was technically RP.) There where other odd things but those where the main things I saw IC.

Then there was the mass messages that where beyond terrible. Talking about how Jack Black was a homosexual and linking a bunch of youtube clips and stuff.

I don't know maybe my time spend in Neverwinter Nights raised my standards to a level that's to high for Graal.
