Well after reading the mini reviews here, I decided to go and check Gileada out for myself. I was pleasantly surprised when I logged on as I was greeted by one of the staff members, Zero. He took it upon himself to take me around the server and explore all the secrets of the land, which was quite fun.
Just by the staff being friendly, I felt the feeling I'd like to come back here, as for me it's very important of the attitudes the staff have.
Since most things were covered in this thread by other people I'll just make this as brief as possible. There's quite an amount of things I like about this server. I especially liked the little travelling map with the cartoonish tileset, it's something different and original in my book. It was also nice how you could change the image you roamed the land with. Not sure if anyone else noticed, but I thought it was quite neat when you did the emotion Control+S that your head turns into a yellow smilie.
Finally, yet importantly I liked the way you had to find the boat upgrades to be able to venture further into the depths of the server. It reminds me much of the old Valikorlia system of travelling, but in my opinion Gileada has executed the plan effectively.
Now, don't get me wrong the GUI and inventory graphics are alright, but with the GUI in the top right hand corner needs to be changed. The font is unreadable and the speckled effect isn't really working, sorry. For the inventory, I think it would be nice if you could move it around and be able to manipulate transparency. With the tileset it just needs a few touch ups, such as getting the background of the weed to match the actual grass on the island etc. Also not sure if it's supposed to be like this, but when you have selected a weapon and left click on the screen, it seems to execute the weapon. Maybe it would be better so it only executes the weapon when you click on that weapon in the bottom right hand corner of boxes?
Anyways, it's looking great. Keep up the good work and use the constructive criticism in this thread to your advantage. Best of luck in the future. :grin:
