Here's my opinion on the classic servers:

Unholy Nation - As much as I hate UN for being such a noob server with nothing to do, it's keeping Graal alive, and is kind of a warm welcome to the new players. Definitely a keeper.

Zodiac - I've heard it's pretty insecure, though I don't know personally. I doubt these rumors as I know Yen is a pretty good scripter. What it lacks is originality, and anything to keep the player hooked. Leveling goes way too fast, and people just run around slashing at noobs. It's overall design leaves something to desire. Oh and lets not forget the staff that have obviously been very immature and treating people like crap. Probably shouldn't be kept for too long. It's a one night stand, shall we say.

Era - Well there's not much to be said about Era. It's a keeper obviously, for the same reasons that Unholy Nation is. I personally don't like it, I've never found those kinds of servers of any real interest, but Graal would take a blow by removing it.

N-Pulse - I like this server from time to time, it has some nice little things to do, like some of the NPCs and Events. It should definitely stay, despite it's fairly average player count. It too, like UN and Era, has kind of become a staple for Graal, it's just not quite as popular.

Valikoria - Val is more of a kind of fetish server, I suppose you could say. It's for those who really like their role playing. It's perfect for it, although I personally can't find any real interest in it. It's a keeper, as much as I don't like saying it.

Classic - Again, another server thats kind of a Graal tradition. Although it has a piss-poor design (especially the levels and graphics) you can't really remove it. It has an extremely loyal playerbase and there really is no reason to remove it.

Maloria - Even though I'm the Head Developer of Maloria, I'll admit that the current version (v2) is a mess. The amount of bugs and lag because of it's poor scripting mostly due to the limits of gs1. Currently it's mostly dead. It has a good premise and can be a lot of fun, especially some events and nation wars, things like that. Working on v3 I can assure you it will blow you away, it should be ready by Christmas time, and will continue to be worked on and improved further after that. Maloria should definately be kept for what it has in store. A good deal of original stuff, and expanding and improving on the things that made Maloria great in the first place.

Delteria - What I've played of Delteria in the past has been pretty boring. It's just another classic server, that has nothing of that little something that makes UN, N-Pulse, and Classic successful. I suppose we should keep it just to see how it's supposed update will bring us.

Atlantis - In it's current state, it's honestly a piece of garbage. Sure, it's the only german server thats ever gotten anywhere. Thats no reason to keep it. It really needs to go.

Ill say this right now, Atlantis has had some of the most amazing and talented developers ive ever been able to say ive shared workspace with. Just because most people cant play the server or understand whats going on, dosent mean you need to waste it.

Its not there just because its the only german server, its there because its good

I agree, Atlantis has such a nice look, and looks like a fun server if i cud understand it.
my ratings:
Unholy Nation:
Not much to do but its still a home server for most and thats why it gets high playercount and a server for new people.
Era:
Economy is messed up, i really hate that thers nothing to do but kill people. And that there is like people with over 100k already and its harder for newer people to even get good guns anymore.
zodiac:
Looks like its fun, though i can compare it to maloria. Do not like its tileset, levels are ok.
maloria:
Its a fun server to play on and fight and stuff. I dont personally play it alot but im going on first impression
valkoria:
Rp isnt my thing. But i guess its good for the rpers
classic:
a bundle of **** is all i see. Nothign to do but pk, and events.
delteria:
i never played it but it probably isnt fun at all seeing its playercount

Does it matter how good it is if its a ghost town? It needs to be moved out and replaced.

So? It sucks, has no playerbase. What kind of PWA team wouldn't want to have it removed?

Yes it's sad but you are right. I don't know what really happens, but the playercount dropped down to zero in a couple of weeks. In spring we had a playermeeting with a lot of Atlantis players, some weeks later Atlantis was dead.
For me it's a typically thing: if the staff are not active working on a server it will go down. Same thing happens to other servers right now.
