Of course not! It is only getting started!
On the 18th when I'm free from college.

The old quests, which are not at all quest like, will be revamped
and still used as subquests. I don't want to remove what we can
still use. From what I remember and have seen, even as an FAQ
I NEVER knew what the storyline of Shaded Legends was... It
either didn't show through the quests, or it was only me.

Regardless, the puzzles weren't that puzzle like, the fight content
... well I did not see much of any fight content... I'd like to give
it a more static story line with what you've told me about the old
into and making it more creative and more integrated.

Why trash everything when it is there to be used?
Sounds like a complete waste of time to me. ^.^;

The previous versions of these servers remained on the list for quite a few years after Shaded Legend dropped off it.

I guess it depends what list, they have all dropped off hosted and classic.
Therefore in my mind disappearing from Graal visibly. I'm told Shaded
was taken off due to it being asked to be...

I'm just saying they should TRY to keep what remains of the server before they just go gutting it . cujo seem's to be under this idea as well .

The whole Arka story line remains the same from what I was told it was supposed to be like. It being recreated from the start however...

Your father was killed by someone, you blame Arka,
Arka pushes you off a cliff, Arka puts a village on fire.
However, the village on fire will now be on the gmap.
(This means it will actually resemble the gmap village this time)

The server is and has been being repaired, we will not
be starting over, only the official main questline will be.
The Arka quests, if I can find them, may be still used
but probably revamped to hold more content and be
more fun to everyone.

Also, I try to have staff members work on something before leaving, therefore when they do leave, something was at least received out of it. :]

Exactly, however we don't want to take a big step, only a small step back.

My thoughts are now on Unholy Nation.

Discuss.

I'm told, the idea was at first single player game.
Becoming the Shaded Legend was the main objective.

The server is now multiplayer, and can hold many a Shaded Legend.
Therefor I suggested that it be called Shaded Legends...

There can be many a Shaded Legend on Shaded Legends.

That wasn't what the main reason was however, I feel it sounds better off the tongue...

Hey do you want to play Shaded Legends
vs
Hey do you want to play Shaded Legend?

It could be just me, Shaded Legends makes more since when talking about it to another person, and I'd love for others to talk about it to another person. ;]

Therefore slightly helping in advertisement...
Of course no one talks about names all that often,
so for the average player, why should it matter?





Anyways, on the 18th I will most likely be able to redo Super Rewards and start back up on making Shaded Legends a better place. We are also looking
for more players to join us in helping us improve the server.

Plans so far.. will be known after the Intro is finished and the trailer is out. :]
We still have some ideas that we aren't too sure about, but for the most part
we believe will be incorporated to the game.

I want the main focus to be on Quests however many other things to do.
Ideally two teams of staff will be needed, since quests are the main focus
and it is never good to release everything at once, we need one team on
content always being released, content like clothing, weapons, subquests, etc. Main content will be released every few months.

I'd like to have more creativity towards the actual quest-line so it creates more anticipation towards the storyline but still pertains to their other wants
like collecting things, or being the best at something.

Don't worry, like everyone else's server,
we believe we know what we are doing.

I won't go further into some details,
many of you will only have to wait.

Some threads aren't letting me know when
there is something new, sorry.
