You think so? Maybe I could modify them out, hmm...

Yeah looks good, I'd imagine you could get rid of the fence that borders the most of the straight roof edge on the gold building too, and place a few flowers there instead.

Have you thought of a server name yet?

I wan't to ask something. Would you people mind me if I get the standard ice and lava tiles recolored?
I think that the lava and icehouse/tree tiles hurt the eye, the colors are quite extreme. It's no wonder that these areas are rarely populated on graal playerworlds, but i'd like them lively. Why no populated volcano town?

Winter landscapes is too bright, volcano landscapes is too dark.

In my opinion, the volcano tiles is made to be indoors, like in an actual volcano. :P

winter tiles conflict with players text

volcano i don't think has ever been implemented correctly for anyone to want to spend time in a place that uses such tiles

the black dragon spar was alright though, it used some volcano tiles. it was also all inside, though

I'm glad to see that you are still working on this, and I hope that you are able to finish it someday. I look forward to playing it.

We still need to fill your playerhouse

If you need any scripting help i'd be more then obliged to stop by and pop out a few scripts.

Don't you have your own server failing?

So here's a question I just thought of,

I saw that there are ways to 'win' playerhouses. Is this the only way that they will be able to be obtained? And if so, will said playerhouses be made by server staff?

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.
