As TSA said, the PWA has not even had the time to discuss the fate of NPulse. I will say this though. I do NOT take removal of servers from Classic tab lightly. We're in a difficult situation as it is trying to get quality, reliable development staff without adding more hardships onto a server.

While I don't recall the details of Delteria's removal I do still firmly support the idea of putting it back on tab once they feel they are ready.

Classic was put on UC by mutual agreement between myself and Thor. There was so much drama surrounding Classic that we both felt that by putting it UC he wouldn't have to worry about player support staffing and could focus on development alone. If I didn't feel that Thor would have the stamina to complete the effort I wouldn't of gone that route in the first place. So far its proven to be a good decision.

I've given Npulse some tools they asked for to help jumpstart their newest efforts and reduce some of the tedium. Thats not to say they won't still have a mountain of work to do but its up to them now to see it through. If they feel that going UC will make their life easier then I would move them immediately but unlike Classic they may not have a small core of dedicated staff to help in this and may not want that invisibility.

There was mention that this whole situation doesn't seem fair to UC servers. Why not? These other servers made their qualifications years ago and just because the playercount of Graal overall has dropped considerably they should not be held entirely to blame if they haven't been able to keep up. When people decided to rent and develop these new servers, they knew what they were in for (or should have) and its their turn to battle their way to the top. We encourage those servers along that are making a true effort at making a decent server but not all are even trying. All they want to do is snag some images and scripts from other servers, slap them together to make some minimum qualifications so they get to play manager.

Bottom line, what happens to NPulse isn't up for a public vote. The PWA will encourage them to keep things on track but don't expect any instant results.
