p to you if you want to take my advice.

Those don't really stand out.

The first one is way too general, the second is, in my opinion, a bad change. The third is something I believe should not be forced, if you pay for the server, you should be able to script however you want.

That GS2 should be default (4th) is just common sense; nothing unique. The fifth is obvious of course, and the graphics thing is already there, just needs to be enforced, which literally anyone can do.

I recommend telling more about unique things that you can do that others cannot.

There were some things myself and Skyld were discussing in order to better the current (and I'm sorry to say, poor) state that some playerworlds have seem to fallen into, whether or not they are unique or not, they are important points, and whether or not you agree with them or not is beside the issue.

These are policies I personally feel need to be changed, or reviewed. Will I get my own way? Probably not. Will the best for everyone come out of it? I certainly hope so.

I see you posting around these forums enough to see you have a pretty pessimistic view on everything. May I ask why you feel the need to ignore every other point I made, casually cast off some very important points, seemingly to feed your own sense of self-righteousness when you have made NO valid points yourself?

You make this point:

You are paying for the privilege to have a Graal server under your control. Nothing more. If you expect to see your server on the hosted or classic list, you will be expected to produce something of quality. If I were a player, logging on to the first time to something that was buggy, made my computer run slow with the game and looked horrible, I wouldn't renew my subscription. That's a loss for Graal. The more that happens the less players there will be.

Take your pessimism somewhere else Chris. It is not needed when it comes to discussing the policies of Graal.

Hardly beside the issue, as hopefully some players will have a partial say in who becomes a PWA. However, I did not mean to say that I necessarily disagreed with everything you posted; merely that you some of your points are common sense.

I apologize; I did not mean to come across in a bad way. Your application looks very nice, I was simply pointing out some things that I thought needed perhaps to be revised.

Yes, I agree for Classic and Hosted playerworlds, but for UC servers it should not be forced, though there should be people to help when needed.

Plus, most people after first logging in don't type some random string of letters into the white box; they double click on some server, most likely one near the top of the list.

So, like I said I think it would be okay to force some kind of rules regarding efficient scripts on public worlds (meaning on the server list), but UC servers should have their choice; I would hate for globals to come on and start deleting or fixing up my old useless scripts.

I'm sorry you see me as a pessimist, there is nothing I can do to dissuade this illusion to you.

You truly don't know me well enough to know whether or not I am a pessimist, however, like I said, I did not mean for it to come across that you had a bad application; it was actually very nice. I just pointed out some things I would change.

Sorry again for the confusion
