So, I decided to go to every hosted server and spend 2~5 minutes on each and write some review about it, and mark it.
So, I log on to Graal and go to the hosted tab. On top of the list is 'Eden', with 8 players online. I connect.
Eden
I start in the Events House, for no other reason than that I already visited Eden once before. It has its own custom tileset, which is quite nice. Very impressive, that inside level.
Then I went outside. Some of the tiles were messed up, and I had to do a lot of stuff to view the properly, but I was too lazy for that. The tiles I could see though, were very good. I really like the building tiles - to bad the level contained some tile errors.

Very impressive GFX, but clearly not finished
and it's in German, so it is difficult to play for those who don't speak that language. What a waste...
Sparitoria
"Welcome to Sparitoria, gozelda! There is 1 person online!". I opened up my server list and found no less then 4 [exluding NPC server and me]. Something didn't seem right. I also was stuck in a seeminlgy tile-error free room with staff applications where I couldn't unstick from my last visist.
Rating: 3/5
Arkland Empires
I had the choice between two worlds, since one was under construction; Lunensis and Elan. I went on Lunensis, it wasn't so bad although 'a complete era rip-off'. Then I went to Elan, which was pretty well made but not very 'classic'.

Dark Diamond
Yay, I was stuck in one room with nothing to do.

Doomsday
Pretty decent server, but not much new stuff. Wasn't exciting enough to make me play any longer then 30 seconds.
Rating:6.7/10
Elemental Kingdoms
Last time I played, so I went to the graveyard. I guess this is supposed to be a RP server? Then why the hell does a player go to a graveyard of fired/quit staff? Odd. Anyway, the GFX sucked and so did the fighting system. The levels sucked too.

Elura
Mediocre, mediocre... Poor levels. No new GFX. Not exciting. Mediocre? Just bad.
Rating:4.5/10
Faded Edge
Wow. I like this server
The GFX were just a slight edit of the tileset yet looked smooth, and the levels were carefully made. One sad thing was that it wasn't on a whole map but seperate levels, so I once got stuck in a tree. On the other hand did it make place for some nice lil' spots.

Last: Zenkou
Pity the tileset didn't load properly, but this looks very promising. A nice GUI, though not completely smooth operating. Very nice, has potential.

Sue me for giving your server a bad mark. It's not like it matters.
