PWA guidelines on Classic Servers

[Crono]

Shouldn't there be some guidelines for classic servers? For example in 2002 I remember PWA told the freshly revived oldskool bravo that their levels were too plain to stay public.

Does PWA have such authority today?

For example: Delteria + Atlantis' extreme lack of playerbase. Does PWA have the power to do anything?

I also hear PWA have no power on the server Classic? Uh...

I personally believe some kind of guidelines should be placed forward by the PWA team so that some classic playerworlds don't stay the same and crappy. A fine example would be Delteria, they are working on New Delteria but is anything being done on the server itself? Same situation as Valikorlia where Clash was told to update Valikorlia itself.

Another example would be if an issue arises on Classic (the server) that requires global attention.

Discuss.

That's because back then graal had a player base of 2000+ and now has a playerbase of 400+ :o

I agree. There should be some PWA guidlines. And PWA's should check up on prospering PWs (SoG, SH, Esteria, Cynical) every now and then to see where they are at. :P And talk with the Managers.

I'm surprised this place didn't get more posts...it kind of is an important issue.

I will post for you Crono :P

Delteria is trying to create a new overworld, so they should definitly be put back into the developing process and taken off the classic list.

Atlantis will not be taken off the list because it's the only German server. If Galbadia or whatever came back, then hopefully Atlantis would be removed.

If some of you were smart you would convert your server to German to get an easy pass to classic :P

No need for the PWAs to do so, when development is already being worked on.

Why does everyone want servers off of the list? It makes no sense what so ever. Just because their in development doesnt mean they need to be removed from the Classic Tab. They have a private Development Server for a reason.

Most servers that arent doing so good, usually go into a big Development stage of hopes to have a decent daily playercount after their development is complete. Delteria has a decent playercount everynight and weekend.

Im not sure if im making much sense, but if Delteria has the current requirements to be on the Classic list, and are just improving themselves, what's the point to take them off? GraalOnline wants to attract players, not have them leave because a server was removed for no good reason, you know? It's like why are people complaining so much (Not directed to a sole player) that servers stay online? If servers that dont reach atleast a minimum of 40 players a day were to be removed from the classic tab, you could say goodbye to a few servers and alot of players.

Also, you cant forget about the players in different timezones than yourself, youd be suprised at how many players come on when your in bed sleeping. I guess i can understand if a server was on the classic tab, no staff came online for days at a time and the daily playercount is low (5-10 daily), yes it should be removed. My point is that all the current 'inactive' servers on the classic tab are making a clear attempt at improving for the future, meaning staff come on all the time and develop, they still manage to have ETs host events for the players that do come online (Consideration/care). penalizing inactive playerworlds by putting them on the private list (especially when an attempt to improve is being made) is pointless in my opinion. If it does come to a decision, i think it should be up to the Owner of the server if he/she wants their Playerworld temporarily private due to inactivity.

Yeah I can clearly see the amazing development Valikorlia has been going through since 2004. I mean it's so awesome and different I could piss my pants.

I can also see how much Delteria has changed over the years.

Let's not forget our old pal Atlantis, sitting there with no players at all.

I think too much attention is going towards classic playerworlds and requirements are a bit too much. I think more attention and time should be put towards graal online official projects and gold servers specifically. Gold Servers really lack players and servers (there are still only 2 after all this time).

I guess they learned english?

Converting to german... wait I heard this before...

Anyhow having a multi language system that include English, Spanish, French, Italian, German, Chinese... would be in the best interest of any server.

Atlantis had +130

There will be a new Overworld on Atlantis soon which will be like the OW in Zelda the WW

Classic is not a playerworld.

Why? It is hardly a GraalOnline-maintained these days, and it isn't the same as it was when it was GraalOnline-maintained.
