Yep, this is exactly how the new intro is so far.

So far so good... We have some neat plans along the way for this too, which you haven't seen or heard of so far.

Talk to me more about this?

We can either ditch it or go with it, you told me it was part of the storyline and I'm trying to go exactly with how you say it, in a way I think will be creative for everyone. This is up to you. :x
It can either be becoming a Shaded Legend, or living a Shaded Legend, both are quite discretionary at this point. Your pick!

I just hope it's not a whole lot . the whole puzzle thing was never that big on SL . we did one or two small ones but it has been used so much that it's really just old .

If ZeroG is still with me on this, quests will be much more quest like, puzzles will be longer and better in content as well. ZeroG likes RPG and Roguelike type things, find food for this person, take shoes to that person, names are given, it will be alright. If he is not with us, I will take longer in programming it, but I believe I can pull it off as well. (You'll notice when I say all this I'm mainly including my self, should everyone leave, I
will work alone should I have to. While trying to reach out to others, and possibly get some help.

We could just have it take how many are in a room into account for more health, that could be built into ZeroG's quest system possibly. Or Thyme could make it... programmers don't get alone all that well from what I've noticed. Thyme doesn't want help from anyone else, ZeroG does not want help from anyone else... It is a great personal trait to have of course, but it can... well... stagger productivity...

This is why I've mentioned facebook to you, people like trying to be the best, collecting things, or achieving things. Things like having hats
does work. So we
will have hats, metaphorically speaking.

I believe our baddies will be fine, I can't say the classic hit, blink, and come back baddies will be there, but they will be fine.
As for recognition, people either like it, or have their own 'home base' that they will stick up for, putting other servers down on impulse. Maloria became Classic for about a week... most people are not willing to give up their main servers, they will however come on, say oh yeah this is cool, and go back to where they came. Unless of course they are magnificently impressed... However, when playing Maloria, one didn't know what to do... or maybe this was only myself. We have fixed that on our server... We will have to reach out to others who don't normally play PC too.

I think you already know the personalities of most of the people on this forum, they aren't anyone to be worried about.
I just sent this to someone on Graalians, but this goes for everyone else.

Most people on this forum, or from what I've seen so far PC version of Graal, will give impolite... well I can't say criticism since they don't give reasons...
I'm not sure what to call it, they are only insolent.
Anyone giving judgement without reasoning should be taken lightly.
I'm sure you can see taking people lightly causes hatred in them too.
So you could always lie and pretend to understand which I will refuse to
do.
I don't kiss up, and I am not afraid to debate with
someone if they are willing to use logic..
If someone is correct, and can prove they are correct,
I will admit defeat, apologize, and move on.
I suggest not doing this if you actually want to make friends,
no one really cares about honesty.
