When it was first released, I logged on through my regular Graal client and it was a surprise. Not the server itself, because I don't think there was any effort placed into it at all, but with how the players were. People were exploring in little groups, arrows were shooting everywhere, and everyone had a positive outlook towards what they were on. It was cute, amusing, and refreshing. Only in that regard did it feel like Graal Classic.

The server itself should not have been released in the state it is in. This could have potentially been a great advertisement for Graal on the PC, but the only thing it contains is PKing and a very empty deviation of Classic's overworld. I was interacting with some of the players, hell, I even made a friend called SEPTIC who found the game exciting. However, after a while people started wondering what there was to do outside of "PVP" and people started logging off. SEPTIC said he was going to refer all of his friends to the application, but with nothing to do on it, they're not going to stay for very long.

Overall I feel it could have been done much better, and I think it needs some desperate attention (and THOUGHT put into it) before potentially great opportunities are lost, and you start getting the negative reviews in.

Side note: Aside from the lack of content, in the content that is uploaded there are heavy religious undertones all over the place. Sure, these things existed in Classic (places like Jesus Freaks, the Graal City church) but when you've got such a small amount of content, you start noticing NPC's telling you that you're evil and God is good just that bit more. If you can feel comfortable removing the Angel Clan, I'm sure these things can go.
