Because what made Classic Graal cool for me was that players made their own stuff. There weren't super high standards for playerhouses. Basically, if you made something that resembled a level, it got up. Sure some of the stuff looked really bad, but it was always fun to explore these levels and laugh.

I'm just wondering if you do have some sort of general idea on how you're approaching player housing?

They had pretty high standards... but it depended on who you had reviewing your house and connections and such. However, Classic's itself standards weren't entirely high. I remember my house was rejected just because I used the wrong tile for black.

However, I agree to an extent. What made Classic really fun was always having the feeling you could stake your part in the world... but I don't agree with low standards just to give everyone a chance. There's no excuse for tile errors and such and some people's houses can look HORRIBLE. Letting people upload houses like that only condones a download slide in levelling standards, and it's not that hard to make a tile error-free house, as most of the stuff is predefined anyways.
