Please realize that the only people that did any work was Vima and Jerret. I created one or two levels and thats it. Don't ever give credit to Soala or anyone else for this project.

And the reason the project took so long, was because lazy worthless members couldn't participate.

As morally pissed off with coreys as I am still I agree with him. Not about the whole Imperialistic thing (or maybe I do I dunno I didn't read it), the levels are just meh. A 3x3 grid of "bland but okay". The cliffs are nice to a point, the town itself is terrible and the buildings are unattractive. The three bottom levels are essentially just water, aa-00 is essentially just trees and poorly tiled grass, the top levels are water + filler tiles, in that whoever designed the level just needed something to put at the top and had no ideas so they made it deep water, even though its on top of a cliff pouring into a tiny stream, which doesn't make much sense unless it's a water filled volcano... but I digress.

I don't assume the levels were up for criticism, but the package as a whole. The point I'm trying to make (I think), from a levelers point of view, is that they aren't quality enough to just replace the default level.

I say this just because you're asking whoever deals with the default files on server rentals to replace 1 level with 9 essentially sub-par levels. There's not really that much incentive, I would think.

Also I hope whoever leveled for 2 months didn't come out with these. This is like 2 days work.

Just sayin'.

Grey,
You should really read what you type before posting, you didn't even make sense.

Vima made these levels pretty quickly (wayy less than 2 months), also as he is busy with his own server.

It was more like waiting on everyone else to do their part.

Don't think anything was really made to be super quality but enough quality to be a base or structure to develop and learn from.

Thanks for reiterating my privileges that I was granted from registering.

As a tutorial or an example pamphlet or something, yeah sure they work to a point, but in terms of having those 9 levels be the default on every single new rental server? Not without serious improvement.
The default is just one level I thought which is an outside level that has OSL tiled across it?

You're assuming that every server is going to keep that gmap, which I highly doubt.
I believe they are a good way to express ways of design and for someone to build on. I mean heck, you're working with it hands-on so you can see yourself how levels are linked, and how certain tiles work with certain tiles. Examples that you have to work with physically (internet Physical wise) is a better way to teach someone than visually via pamphlet or instructions.

You had just said you didn't do anything and then commented on worthless GDT that didn't help.

...in any case...I'm hoping this is not a "done for good" project. Because it still needs some work, several people, including myself, could make this something worthwhile.
