Classic

jahngod · #1 03-23-2005, 06:34 AM

Classic was always my favourite server, from the first time I tried Graal, back when it was all free.

Now I come back, and I see the NPC Server is up, all my items are erased...
There is only one map (??!?!?), which is small.
All the quests are gone.
Everyone has 6 hearts.

What has happened?
This server may as well just be deleted now

MasterStorm is working on a new overworld which should be released soon. They had to use the NPC-server, it is more secure and they can run more advanced scripts with it. Just bare with them until it is completed. ^.^;

the npcs server was started 3+ years ago, and now its released still not done. Classic is pretty much dead. Storm should just release the levels pack right before the npcs server so that someone with the determination and staff power to fix it up and release it.

Hm, they had no choice but to release the NPC Server anyways.

Classic will own once it's fully done.

The switch was not easy, but most systems are done and Storm is already working on cut scenes and such things for story telling.

Heh. I'd be very surprised if it were actually released "soon". We've all heard that sort of thing before, and many a time.

How many players would have quit by then and given up on Classic?

Yes, the Classic NPC server may have been worked on for over 3 years... but this does not mean that I had 3 years of completed stuff to work from. I had to make the decision to rework it all from scratch, which was a hard decision to make, but in the long run, is the right one. Simply 'uploading the old levels pack' is one of the major reasons I took the decision. Many old scripts dont work with NPC Server, and the ever nearing full switch to GScript2 would have on complicated things further. Classic was already too buggy, I didn't want to make that worse.

Why is development taking so much longer when it could be done so much faster? That's my #1 question.

Possibley because they're putting ALOT of effort into it?

That makes no sense.

They? I am "they" of the GC Team, and I could give consideration that I have accomplished more than what has been done outside of the GC Team.

Preach it. The LAT team consists of GFX people. No levelers. Storm is the only one making levels.

LordPatrick · #14 03-24-2005, 09:50 PM

Indeed. I'll certainly try it again once it is done, though perhaps renaming it is in order, or something. Heh, call it New Classic! Well... heh. I'll wait. I'll keep on waiting for classic. I never gave up on it before, and I won't now, either. I think it will surpass its old self, and become greater. In time. Good luck with that, too...

Yeah, I don't think Classic is a fitting name as it doesn't accurately describe the server.
