I love the look of the server, the graphics and such, but the overall premise I'm not so fond of.

To me it sounds like you're trying to create your own Game on Graal, rather than creating your own piece of Graal. I read through it once, and I'm willing to believe I missed the overall point, but I think the main aspects of your server, unless they are strictly enforced, will eventually fall apart and the whole server will disolve into people killing people with guns, just like Era.

That's kind of the whole concept behind the whole "Oh it's another Era." It's not that people are making the same server, it's just that no one remembers that you're developing on Graal. We have an EXTREMELY small player base, which is limited even more by by who your target playerbase is, that doesn't have the focus to follow family guidelines or collecting from stores or stuff like that.

Same concept as to why Role Playing on this game doesn't work anymore. People won't follow guidelines if there's an easier way around them, and if you enforce guidelines, people move away.

It's easy to say that your server looks pretty and sounds interesting, it's a whole other story when it comes to what's reasonably expected out of it.

I wish you guys the best of luck, and honestly I do hope it works out, but I'm just not optimistic that a server like this could be overly successful over a decent period of time, and my opinion is unfortunately helped by history.
