Following the footsteps of Zone

I imagine that agreeing to run GK is a lot like climbing into a coffin.

[Seeya]

more or less.

If I ran it, I would make a new GK

[Seeya]

Make a new GK
and then propose it to Stefan to replace current GK

wah-lah

I'd rather see Crystia.

i don't take well to new servers
change hurts

If he remade GK it'd be a new server anyhow.

Back on topic, management can't even handle quarterly updates now. The last "update" we seen were bug fixes and crap that didn't even need to be changed (avatar timeout). That kind of stuff shouldn't even be considered an "update". If there's a bug it should be fixed immediately and not treated like "new" content.

This. I wouldn't mind the massive gaps between "updates" if we didn't make such a big deal about the little fixes.

Those little changes and updates?

That's stuff that's supposed to be done on a regular basis. They're expected. Fixing those and making minor tweaks is supposed to be a given, not some semi-annual cause for celebration.

The only "updates" I can think of, that can actually be justified as updates, are wand stats and the crypt.

And the crypt is STILL broken. You'd think after nearly 3 years now it'd be handled.

Quarterly updates were a good incentive to give the players someone to look forward to, based on the assumption there was always going to be an update every quarter. However, that fell through. And to add to the problem, quarterly updates should have been reserved for larger and exciting updates and additions, and more minor updates and fixes(in fact, ALL fixes) should be done on the spot.

Think of how bad it feels to have to wait around for fixes to the Graal client because of the same mentality. Why do this to the players, too?

However, whether these problems are because of management or the limitations brought on by Stefan's need to be involved, I don't know.

Is it just me, or does it seem that every thread similar to this is closed with something like that statement.

Graal just doesn't have the appeal it used to have. In the last five years, MMORPGs have become increasingly popular. GK and the other Graal servers are just outdated. It is hard to bring in new people. It is really hard to be optimistic, when criticism is simply shut down. There are MMORPGs out there that are doing a much better job than Graal is, and instead of using their ideas (not talking about stealing) we are simply forbidden to talk about them /rant
