Hell, make Jenny Darkrune Mananger. My brother would go wild.

Hell, make Trunx manager. I'll probably erase it but so what?

Polls aren't exactly a good idea, since even the intelligent players are bound to pick sides and war with the other if given a choice.

I'd think if Moonie was given another shot with the server and a chance to assemble a good, competent administration, it would get things back on it's feet.

Development was pretty slow back then, but it was more long lasting stuff.

As N-Pulse is now the only thing holding it back is oldbies who refuse to let the server move on from it's begining roots. Some people say that it is the server's defining thing, and it is true. All N-Pulse has going for it right now is history. Without history, N-Pulse probably would not have been put back up. But N-Pulse needs to move on from it's history if it ever wants to compete with the new things other servers are doing.

Anyways, just some thoughts.

Well put ETD and I tend to agree with you..

Ducati_Link · #92 01-26-2005, 05:13 AM

MG.. I would of never thought I would of heard you say that. :O

Anyway.. I guess I was one of those oldbies who wanted the old times. I still couldnt to this day see N-Pulse as a totaly new server. When it was changed from when Zido was in manager it lost all its feel.. and Zido being manager deffintaly made it change. But anyway.. I bearly play anymore so I guess it shouldnt bother me.

Somone told me an idea of brining back tri-dal and fixing that totaly up. I think that would be a great idea. Fix up the towns, fill in the blanks.. and kill the kingdom idea that Geo made. There would be alot to work with.. it's has its some what classic feel.. but new.

N-Pulse just has to get over the 1 attitude it has always has ' this is good enough'. Nothing on N-Pulse was really that great.. GFX are old, levels were crap, scripts are untalkable of, ganis are even worse.. But it 'just did'. Who ever gets N-Pulse needs to really think hard and work out alot of its problems and really know where it should now be heading.

Oh and one other thing.. isf staff are being corrupt.. fire them! Not have this ' oh but there a good scripter'. Sure they can probablly DO the job but they dont and they are corrupted. We had that so damn much on NP... which was really half the problem of why nothing ever got done.

darmenth · #93 01-26-2005, 06:50 AM

Well put Miss Ocelot.
I wasn't around for the Tri-Dal days, but I still think if you were to bring them back, they should have some serious updates and revamping done first. There are good staff out there, willing to work, just got to find them.

It doesn't have to be totally new though... it just has to evolve... and N-Pulse has had several things stopping it's evolution. Every playerworld evolves in one way or another. From year to year a playerworld should have lots of small changes, that over time make the whole playerworld different, new and interesting.

I just think that the best solution would be to bring back old levels which are re-detailed. N-Pulse could still use the classic tileset, but maybe use images in the levels to make things look better.

eh, anyways it is great to be able to post on these forums again.... I missed it
^_^
*yes, the last part was a little random... I just type what first comes to mind

I liked N-Pulse when it had classes at the start and Giovanni.

Wizards, Thiefs, Warriors, Paladins, Clerics, etc...

MG can be a source of advice for Moonie, no question about that. His track record on N-Pulse should shows he makes good decisions. Obviously I wasn't doubting his abilities.

I just wasn't sure where he'd be "advising" from, if it was at home with Moonie, he wouldn't have had to make a post. Certainly still possible he never intended to have RC, but it wouldn't be good if people were depending on him on the server itself, or if there was an account with rights left unattended. Having unused RCs isn't the N-Pulse style, and it shouldn't be anybody's.

We chose a manager less than a week after Zido was banned.

It takes time to get Stefan to set spark's rights locally, so spark can give them to the chosen manager and everything can be set up again.

Also, if we announced the manager prior to setting the his/her rights, staff on the server who still had rights could do a lot of damage to it, and we'd be back where we started.

Snakeandy7 · #99 01-26-2005, 12:43 PM

No, he wants a manager, he didn't say you specifically. He said they need you to ban and such.

Milkdude99 · #**100** 01-26-2005, 04:45 PM

I am not totally against anyone even ETD and we have had our bouts in the past, he does at times make statements that I do indeed agee with. Like Npulse , I feel yes it should never entirely lose it's roots but on the other hand it should progress forward to attract new players and create new history. It is the only way the server will survive. I have always in the past as I do now have Npulse best interest at heart and having someone as Staff that is hardly there is not in the best interest of Npulse and at this point in time I cannot devote the time that is needed so anything I may do will be from a backseat position of advice and ideas to throw out to the players and nothing more than that.

The difference of when Moonie and I managed Npulse is we are a Team in real life (Married) so it is natural for us to discuss and work together on things but as in real life no we did not always agree on things but we did work out a compromise with it. Something that is sad to say rare on Graal when there is more than one Manager. So we did have an advantage on this because of our realtionship of many years in real life.

With the help of those who truly want to see Npulse rise again to all it's glory and not interested in their own personal gain, Npulse will indeed rise again.

Just to point out a small detail it is " Teir Dal " , this was the name of the spin off of Npulse Geovanie made. It was the P2P server that never really made it and was combined with Npulse. This was a dark time for Npulse with much confusion and havoc over this, I won't bother going into the details.

Again HM you are making your opinions on things you don't know about, you should really ask before making such statements. I post because I am still a part of the Graal community and have a valid interest in what goes on with Graal. You really need to keep in mind , I will be 50 this year and have no desire to play the childish power games that many do on here. I would like to see the game and well as the community grow and prosper.

I have no idea where I said that anyone wanted me as Manager at....

Yes, sorry.. it's Teir Dal. He got it from the game EverQuest I. Anyway.. The reason it was the dark days was because Geo had banned all guilds and jailed anyone who put there global tags on. Which really didn't go down well with TCN and once TCN left and gave up on it N-Pulse, it did start hitting the dips. Wether people liked TCN or not it help N-Pulse comminutiy together more than people thought. Another thing about the 'black days' is that there was never any updates. Levels were crap, and never really added anymore from once it was uploaded. Script were only takled about and one came about once a year.. Find a good team of people willing to fix it up. That era of map could work so well for the new N-Pulse.

Also ETD.. yes little changes over time works well. But sadly little changes hasn't happen over time. And now it is dead and gone.. That option is no longer open. The very old classic has been done to much at the moment. People are bored of it again, and there isn't alot to do nor work with in re-vamping that. It would still be that same thing. Teir Dal is the way to go I really do beleive. New classic start.

One other thing.. For N-Pulse sake.. please try and keep the N-Pulse styling of N-Pulse. None of this complete if you squint your eyes turn around backwards 5 times and stand on your head you may be able to make out a house in all those tiles. Very smiple, very clean, very nice and well done.

As I said in one of my last posts, little changes over time is best, but hasn't happened since the Moons were managers. If Moonie becomes manager again, I think they could happen again, and N-Pulse can keep on going and evolving to make things more interesting.

Also, I had said:

Either way you look at it, you're talking about bringing back old levels, re-detailing them (and finishing them in your example) and then uploading

Why even start with the Armodian and Kalton overworld? What advantages does it give you over just making a new one? A new overworld would not be restrictive in shape and size, and probably still be about as easy to make. I doubt anyone is really attached to any level on that overworld, so I see no advantage to useing it.

I say just use the overworld that was up when the Moons left... the one that actually looked like a real world, with islands and everything. Then finish funland, maybe a new island for fun, and get the thing put up... it would be better than taking many months to finish off a huge overworld, because in that time you'll already lose a lot of players, and N-Pulse has already lost too many. :/ uploading that version of the server could only take a day or 2, then adding to it from there wouldn't be that hard.

Anyways, just my opinion
:P
Though the results of the poll seem to indicate that people want that version of the server up most... but I do agree that you can't really judge useing that poll, since not many people voted.

Moonie - Congrats

ETD - IF you did that era you would have to take away like the 500 blank water... Can you not remember how many of those water levels there were? The reason I say TD is because it is very open.. you can totaly change its shore lines, add and removes alot in there. More add that remove really. But you can add those old islands, old all the good places that got used. Classic Classic era... level 1 2 and 3 were about the only real levels being used. Also there is so much to work with TD.

Anyway, It was just my opinion. I thought it would work out.

Ducati_Link · #**115** 02-01-2005, 05:51 PM

Yes, but by the end there were a lot of islands starting to fill in the water. There were still a good amount, I agree, but that's just room to add new islands, to make things interesting. Adding new islands every so often as updates would be a good way to go I think.

TD had a lot of empty land levels... what's the difference between empty land, and empty water really? Also, TD, just about every level would have to be re-made to fit today's level quality standards... with the 'funland' version of classic N-Pulse, almost all of those levels would fit today's standards... only a few would need to be re-detailed.

It just seems like a lot less work to add the funland version of n-pulse and go from there. Though your ideas are good too, but it just seems like more work than it's worth to me.
=x
Anyways, I am sure Moonie will do a good job no matter what option she chooses

Ducati_Link · #**117** 02-02-2005, 04:53 PM

Funland? Okay no offence MG it was a great idea.. but it never really kicked off. In totaly there is only about... 15? (is that) funland levels and about 40 blank levels.

The difference between water and grass is that grass already has its base there.. To many Islands can start to look tacky in my opinion.. and it can get annoying. But I guess everyone is different on the way they like the overworld. I just don't like island maps very much.

And I agree.. What ever it is im sure Moonie will make it work. She seems pretty tuned in for whats needed.

oooh screenshots. old times
the time someone warped everyone on the server to the nemspar level, old TD main, and south of Goddess Town on TD.

It is an easy overworld to work with and would probably be better to be used since it has an already made map. The other overworlds are nice, but making a map for them is hard with the crazy way some of the levels were linked.
