Server requirements sticky?

-Wish to show what they have to get staff members
It should be completed enough so that potential staff members can recognize the type
of server it will be so that developers with an interest in this type will apply.
-Want to open a temporary world for players while they finish the main world
It is understood that you are still in development so things such as unannounced player resets will be likely. There will be periodic reviews of the server by the PWA to ensure you are continuing development. If not then you will be put back into UC status.
-You will need to follow the same rules and guidelines as if you were Classic tabbed regarding staffing and handling player issues. http://forums.graalonline.com/forums...ad.php?t=84379

-Have at least a basic foundation for a community and/or economy.
-Have a substantial amount of original ideas, content, and concepts that bring new and interesting things to GraalOnline.
These things do not be completed but should be represented in some way to show they will be coming. A simple sign or door saying "future home of (insert concept idea here)" is sufficient.

Classic Tab:
This tab is for playerworlds that:
-Have enough interesting content for players to play your playerworld for a long time.
-Have a substantial amount of original ideas, content, and concepts that bring new and interesting things to GraalOnline.
-Have the server GS2 compliant and as secure as possible.
-A full, knowlegable staff that can guide players as well as help them with issues they may have.
-A ‘finished’ state so everything you wish to open with is working correctly



How to apply: If you wish to apply for this tab owners must apply through http://support.graalonline.com Playerworlds - Classic/Hosted Tab Inspection with a subject line of (Playerworld name) (type of inspection) ie. Era Classic inspection. Please also give us a brief description of the following things to be sure we are aware of them

# What interesting things does your server bring to Graal that are unlike any other server?
# How does your server differentiate itself from all of the other classic & hosted servers?
# The hosted server list is for servers to attract developers, is your server at a stable enough point in the development process to attract new developers to your server?
# Are your staff capable of presenting a professional front in front of players?
# Are you the original owner of the server or has it owned by people in the past? If yes, who?

Please allow at least 1 to 14 days for inspection and responses from all parties that need to inspect.

Send an email to [email protected] or forum pm/email one of the PWA.

Thank you.
Edit: This is exactly what I was looking for, thanks.
