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.

Yeah, of course people can design their playerhouses, but they have to fit style and theme, yet I am willing to help people without lat skills to get it done.
From time to time, I will open new citys. If it happens, you can sign up for one.

The Houses in the Main- Town will be given to long time followers of the project, people to suggest good ideas or names for the playerworld and few wildcards.

WIP- Update, a bit experimental, but maybe you'll like it.

Looks like the direction graal classic should have gone, ;P

Ew @ black, looks pretty good apart from that.

Will you be generating a overworld layout using the level generator tool? I'd imagine you could whip up a pretty good "olde time feeling" base then place your towns and other neccesities on top of it.

[Umat]

making the server level by level is pretty oldschool as far as i know

[Nelm]

Looks nice, bro. Really digging keeping the old style feel architecture and changing up the colors to not make it feel like it's the same stuff over and over.

And don't listen to Crono, black is ossum. He's just a poopyhead.

So awesome Lux.

Please be more detailed, I can't improve the level on the word "ew"
Constructive criticism is always wanted, renember.
