Don't be a clod. Stefan made it clear that it was completed and they were just saving it for a worthy event to release it.

They don't just want to throw it out there - they should have when they said they would, but they didn't. The way it's going now it may be released either during some of my work or before. Either or, it doesn't matter - it'll come when it comes, and forcing the hand won't get you anywheres.

So Graal only updates when something amazing is going on? Wow, this is great!

Sometimes. Usually not even when big things go on. At least for GK ...

Well, when they release new versions and stuff like that.

You have to understand that there is so few development staff that I can count them on the buttons of my mouse. I'm working, but it's slow going.

Well they better release it quick before GK dies. I will never understand the thinking of these two frenchman .

It's not specific to GK. Besides, I'm more worried about my content than theirs

Then why don't they release it to other servers and release it to GK when they have a events set for it?

I know, I know, I realize that few people are working on GK.

Perhaps they need to open scripting positions or whatever needs to be done, though I'm guessing scripting is the majority.

The application forum doesn't really work well since people don't really realize to apply, plus there is no standard for applications.

Insignificant?
It's like adding a whole new dimension to Graal.

Imagine being able to zoom out and see MORE. Since it's all shrinking, you're seeing further into the north, east, west, and south, all at the same time. Truly a fascinating experience in the Graalian world.

Imagine a real-time map making use of the zoom feature. With some mouse-over capabilities, and maybe some other neat tricks you scripters can come up with, you'd have something started... not sure exactly what though. An administrator could have a nice control panel of the overworld. Look at an overworld map, zoom in to areas, towns, or just specific players. Maybe a click-and-warp feature.

Futuristic servers like Era and Zone could possibly have camera-technology for players to use...

Wouldn't this all be possible?

Working on GK requires a lot of experiences... working on GK. I'm personally not going to hire someone and wait for them to learn, especially when most people that play this game are moody and will go "oh u sed meen things 2 me. leevn now bai".

Flying technology is way to advanced for the 2D servers. It would be useless for every current classic playerworld, because they're not nearly large enough to even make flying useful; take ten minutes and you've walked all of UN, it would make the experience even more upsetting when you fly through it and see it all in five.

We'll see. I'm glad people are still excited over it though.

On the other Hand: there would be a cool way to create bigger playerworlds without using odd stuff like trams or ships - you could just fly to another continent

A three dimensional gmap would also be interesting, but probaply hard to realize.

GK isn't exactly large... especially considering the only thing that takes so long to walk across the map is the poor speed system and hilly terrain. Oh, and you're pretty stuck on the idea flying technology being used only for flying. There are a lot of possibilities for it.
I think, level wise, UN is larger than GK. I haven't counted though.

A balloon would shorten the time needed to get from far points of each island. The quests would be easy, especially the escort ones
