Who's to say what a real Graal experience is when servers are occupying different specific niches?

When it comes to pking/spar/chat these are things offered by virtually every established Graal server that has ever existed. These are part of each server but they are not what makes a server what it is....
Under that logic you might aswell say a real Graal server is a server that allows you to customise your appearance and upload graphics.

I can only really vouch for what I believe is a "Classic" Graal experience, and again I understand that people do have varying ideas on this that depend on what their own experiences were based upon, which is nothing unexpected.
Applying this principle however, it was the questing which set the server apart.
Even throughout the more simplistic times before Tyhm revolutionised Classic it was still predominantly a questing game.

Has anyone ever considered why Graal is called Graal?
Graal is a French derivative of the word Grail, as in Holy Grail.
The main purpose behind the game was to find the 4 Graals and open the Golden Gate..... kindof like Zelda.
You cannot deny the Zelda aspect has attracted many people to this game.
