You don't understand, I don't want an modernized classic.

I also want to put the otherworlders on the desert island quest, and I want to replace Supernick's with a slightly upgraded NLs. Latter is less likely to happen.

So I like to use history, just make it more functional.

Agreed.

I don't even know what today's style looks like because I've never played any other server besides Classic, except for like a months run on Shaded Legend before it went to hell graphically.

Today's style = your style.

I honestly just want things to blend together. A horse barn made out of brick, for instance, wouldn't make sense at all.

How is that related to remaking old houses?

[jake13jake]

I'm bringing back the houses that I can use quest-wise. Pretty much anything I'm changing is going to be for quest purposes, and anything I'm keeping is going to be for quest purposes. The only cases I can't argue for are the Onnet Bar and the shape of the overworld, which will be similar, but Destiny won't exist (yet anyway), Babord will be much different kindof split up into two places, Sylphia will be a bit smaller, but Sylphia was pretty empty to begin with. I'll probably see if I can bring back Nimda for the forest island, but the dungeon will be different. The water fall on Mount Sylphia is gone, and Nafet's river is going to be an actual river rather than a channel. That's going to make an interesting quest. Yea though, a lot of stuff has to be redone.

Man why not just reupload the old levels (of course make sure there is no old conflicting scripts) and let is be CLASSIC. Nothing needs to be improved because the whole purpose of CLASSIC is to be CLASSIC and you're not understanding that. I thought the whole reason of changing classic again was to bring it back to how it used to be. It's just taking the steps of what happened before, a complete loop

Normally I would disagree with you about changing PW's to update to the times, but I agree when it comes to Classic.
Classic is just that....Classic
The first PW, the one that started Graal.
I think it should remain Classic, showing people how it all started, how far Graal has come.
I miss the Classic days before the Hera stuff, where I would sit on top of Deetos house (I think it was), and pk anyone who dared come on top.
No other PW has ever come close to that...no other PW ever will.
I would like it back.
No, you can't bring back the Community from back then, but you can bring back what started the Graal Revolution, and build on it again

For me, I wan't to update Classic interms of its content - better features etc to draw in new players, but the style of the content should be going more Classicy. I already removed the notion of Hera's as I felt these we're not 'Classic', switched the start location back to Brothers House etc...

Trying to aim for the best trade off between the two - bringing back Classic's charm, whilst still appealing to new players.

But the real classic were appealing , at least to me. I loved everything about it
