Classic Progress Report.

The fact that the Ventrue guildhouse thrived is because Ventrue had the time, the resources and the skills to produce what you see today. The levels are uploaded because they have been NPC Server compliant for a very long time. The levels are uploaded because they add content to the server. The levels are uploaded because they look half decent.

Don't think that the Catcombs shouldn't be uploaded because the overworld is so small, think of the Catacombs as an "underworld." They are underground, afterall. Exploring them gives the bored population something to do for a while. They are ever changing, so expect something new every so often.

As for the house under Angel Clan - it's just a door - a door that you can't see, leading to a "dark" (if you will) version of Angel Clan. For all you know, it could have been there for years and you still wouldn't have found it. You ask why Tyhm didn't upload it? Ask yourself how often Tyhm uploaded anything remotely useful/interesting in the last few months/years of his managerial career. There's your answer. If you're so bothered about Classic being changed, then why not complain about something a little more substantial, like the mountains in the north? It makes sense to complain about a multi-level mountain range than a petty 4x4 hidden door.

Referring to what Bell said, Ventrue has been a part of Graal Classic for a long time. I can safely say that without us, Classic would now be nothing.

With regards to poor quality levels and poorly reviewed levels being uploaded, I think that quantity is more important than quality at the moment. You basically said so yourself. By the way, what's the deal with your house? How can you justify your house being online? "Under construction," yet you say that an under construction server should be placed on the Hosted tab? Does something similar not apply to your playerhouse?

Stefan knows what he is talking about. You are foolish to question him, afterall, look at all of the work and progress he has contributed towards Graal, and then look at the work you've done.

You know why your quest levels remained untouched, either that or Storm saw them and thought they sucked or didn't fit in with Classic's theme, and politely left them to be forgotten about.

Of the population that plays Classic, there are only a handful of upstarts who actively complain about how Classic is run. The rest of the population are seemingly content. This leads me to believe that Storm is doing a good job.

I understand that Storm and Selflon are not the most active of staff members, however they do have important university educations to complete. Seeking a replacement for themselves would involve taking someone who doesn't originate from Classic. Consequently, they would make "non-Classic" changes and piss everyone off. You can't, and won't, win.
