I don't think a side scrolling server would work too well.
The player interaction would be awful for starts.
I see nothing wrong with parts of the server being side scrolling like a quest or two but not the full thing.
Graal is a multiplayer game and, I think, making a side scrolling server would remove the multiplayer aspect of the game, which I think is the most important thing needed on Graal to have any fun on it.
