While I certainly appreciate your spirit in defending your chosen servers, might I point out that we are still one Graal? It's like the rivalry between the Army, Navy, Marines and Air Force...they all hate each other, but they're all on the same team...but I digress.
In regards to the people who upgraded before the deadline getting more rights - see also campaign finance reform. I'd just as soon see staff and power based on talent and dedication rather than the depth of one's pocketbook. In regards to the statement that one lags more than the other - I've found that all new worlds, G2K2 included, lag like crazy - until you finish downloading the graphics. Naturally, the Classic denizens only download a couple new graphics per session, and so have practically no lag, whereas the G2K1 denizens take an awfully long time to download everything on Classic, and vice versa. There is also caching, which takes about ten seconds in which I can hardly move, even offline - then all the sounds are in memory and it smooths out.
In regards to levels, as Classic's LAT I believe I am uniquely qualified to pass judgement. G2K1 has beautiful levels, and some wonderful NPCs. Naturally, they've had newer features longer, and their own graphics team (or rather, unique access to THE graphics team), so it is to be expected. Classic's levels, in all fairness, still look like they were all written out on seperate sheets of paper and stapled together...we're still missing that L shaped land mass at the Destiny Desert, Zorro's House probably STILL doesn't line up correctly, etc...however, Classic has the start of what may be a promising quest. G2K1 has a bunch of oldschool Classic quests - get bored, walk into a dungeon, die several times (restarting frequently so you don't get knocked all the way to the start), and come out with a more powerful weapon/shield/more hearts, but there's no common thread to it, no greater reason for your actions.
If G2K1 got a dedicated LAT Chief - BirdBird's great, but he's too stretched out between 3 worlds - who started threading it together, you'd have the best of both worlds - great graphics, NPCServer smoothness, and a plot. Then I'd really have to worry, as Classic would be G2K1 Junior...I still have to make all my own graphics over here. ^_^
Classic - wins for plot
G2K1 - wins for prettiness
