New Server (GAMES)

[Devil_Lord2]

This is only my opinion.
*=EDIT

Graal *PC is dead, the only players playing the classic servers are for the most part loyal people, and any new servers unless they are so amazing, don't have a chance. The owners are using the new servers to make money, could care less about the people who love the game, and are taking what they can get.

*iPod still has years to go before new users stop pouring in and the devs or owners kill it. :]

Players now who love doing DEV work want their server on classic, why?!
Classic status is only an in game advertisement to show players it is there.

Owners cannot make money to pay for the servers they are paying for and basically getting friends to play and keeping the game running.

Don't get me wrong, I love Graal, it has taught me a lot.. Art.. X and Y.. HTML... Programming... I love Graal for its Dev like system, and it's social networking.

However, until Graal dies, I doubt much will be done to fix all this, so basically we ignore it.

Let's get to the point of this post.
I think all the developers should put together a Graal server with games...
Card games, Multiplayer games, Tower Defences, Pool, Yahtzee... things people will like..
Perhaps half the server could be player LATed levels.. like they have access only to 5 levels and can edit how they like.. There are too many servers with big ideas getting almost no where..

If people like a game, they will play it.. it may take a few days to a week to script a simple game.. I don't know, I am only a basic NAT.

I'd be glad to help in the graphics department. Later on build a money system so that players can buy different pieces to use.. pool sticks.. w/e..

Events? Host tournaments.. who knows.. Yeah levels are great.. but do levels keep players coming on? Quests are cool too.. when you buy a single player game do you play it twice or more? If you are going to pay for a game.. why not make the best of it.

I can contribute most of a pet system for pets. I can also do a lot of 3D Modeling for it.. I don't really like pixel art but I can do it x.x;

Ganis I can do via text file and RC / testbed.

Levels I can do but won't really be needed too much.

Programming... still learning but I can do a good amount I guess.

The most I can see is they may need a system to collect age, and make certain words not shown to people under 16... I can't see how hacking would do very much on this server lol..

It would just be a server to do fun things.. maybe someone will want to start developing quests on the server.. why not let them?

Think of it as a melting pot for DEVs and old players? Who cares if it doesn't reach Classic status. Advertise it, something the owners will not. Even trials could play.. We would bring in new players that wouldn't have to pay whome would then bring on new people.

The only quest I can think of being needed... is a tutorial. ;]
For the new players who don't know the keyboard controls or how to talk.

And for the loyal players who won't leave their friends on their favorite servers, well they have a place to go when they are bored.

Cons?
I'm not sure what the owners would do seeing a bunch of free trials not wanting to pay for an undeveloped server that they actually like staying on.
Shutting down something that good only tells more about them though..




Now the ones who don't agree can debate about it, and I could care less. I am willing to try and help. Problem is... it all starts with programmers...
