Krynn..?

[Aknts]

Ok so here’s the deal. Since I re-upgraded my account a couple of people have mention Krynn and wanting it back. I like the idea but it got me thinking. How much different is playerworld development now? I know the levels are the same but the scripting is so far advanced since when the original Krynn was around.

For the server, levels would be the easy part. But is it difficult to get a dedicated great scripter? I still have the GUI gfx and such from the old Krynn. Has scripting changed so much that they wouldn't work on the servers now?

I know before there weren’t many talented pixel artists on Graal. I mean there was some but way few then any other skill. Is it hard to get someone to work for you and make descent gfx?

Thanks for your time if you read and/or answer this.

Not too sure about scripting, but there are quite a lot of GFXers now who do a good job. Its easy to get them to work for you also if you've got good idea which i'm sure you will Hope you bring it back

Content quality is being pushed higher each day. (not majorly, but it's still being slowly risen to a higher quality)

A bare classic server with nice levels is not going to really attract much attention since we already have classic style servers that have a stranglehold on the playerbase (UN).

It's very difficult to get a dedicated scripter. Even when you find one, you have to work by their terms since they are all you've got. They can take week long breaks and what can you do? Not much. You could fire them and try to find someone else but it will be more work for you.

I have yet to see any really decent graphics on any of the current public playerworlds. There are some good gfxers out there but most of them are vain or aren't as good as they think they are. You'll have people who can only work in one style, can only make certain things, are highly inactive, etc.

It's very hard finding talented people who are willing to work at least a few hours a day and stay in contact with you. Very very hard.

Well said...I'd agree mostly about the scripters...A lot of the scripters have left graal or like myself--Refuse to learn gs2 XD-- I knew some GS1 but I couldn't script my way out of a wet paper bag with gs2...And Koni speaks real life stories...

Thats what I thought. Alot of people said it was easy to get scripters and such. Levels haven't really been the focus of a server since Graal2001. People like descent levels with great content. I am still waiting for that server with great levels and great content (VS:C).

VS:C [was//is?] finished. We just ran out of gold time and refuse to re-pay for it!
What's Kyrnn?

Scripters are hard to find and most of the Gats on graal are still pretty half-ass.

[zokemon]

It's easy to get scripters that don't know to much of what they are doing
If you aren't script savey, you should send script examples (from people applying) to someone credible (like a GST for example).

How do you class yourself as a scripter if you only knew "some" GS1, and never attempted GS2?

Methinks good staff are hard to come by in general.

Yeah you're right, the only server to come out recently, Zodiac, is SO over the top with quality! [/sarcasm] (for the few that dont get it)

Content quality isn't being pushed higher a day. As a matter of fact Zodiac looks worse than servers I used to play back in 2001.

Hehe, but if you have decent gameplay, ok levels, and ugly ass graphics you'll make it for sure.

Agreed. The graphics area of Graal is retarded in my opinion. You have all these people posting great graphics but I have yet to see a server with good graphics on that classic list.

[Aknts]

So would this still be considered good in todays Graal standards?
