a community project idea

[Rave_J]

Hey guy's i been thinking and how can u make a server or even to think how to plan one without asking this question. I know everybody is tired of gun servers an just idleing doing quest or magic with dungeons ect like zodiac. So this is the question im asking what do you want to see to get graal back up. I want to do a project that will show what graal is and attract that 800 plus player account from iphone to pc verson. so new players what kind of server u want to see. now with this said an want to pick a idea together as a community an work on it together as a community project. instead of having 1 manager why not have 5 incharge an vote for everything. i know in 99/2000 of graal years my brother made a server with being inspire of old bravo he ask the community to help they sent him lots of things like odin a player on old bravo sent him a town ect. With this project i want community help with it not as just as staff but a community project so tell me what u think i want to plan it all out before i start

I don't think I understand what you're trying to do.

ok ill explan what does graal players want to c in a new server. second i want to make it a community project where 5 main players are incharge and if anybody want to help can submit work ect. so really no manager its like a team effort server

I think Testbed is the answer.

What about styles? I mean, everyone out there is different, and has different methods on how to make graphics, create levels, etc..

All this would end up in a big and messed up pile of contributions which would make players remain only in levels they like to be, since the other ones would be completely different, for exemple.
Standards would be hard to set IMO.

Really?
I'd say a well made Quest based server is something Graal is currently lacking.

Check this thread out, you can see the difference between the different styles each level artist uses.

It's a nice idea but I couldn't see it working out.

Well due to the popularity and only good things to say people want to see this..

Dusty's laid out a significant amount of the planning, it's just waiting for someone else to pick it up and run with it.

If the community was ever going to get together and do something it should probably be that.

I think you should do a regular server and then make it a "feature" that you accept contributions from fans.

Would that be allowed since there is already an classic development server?

I would personally prefer it if Thor (ffcmike) approved such a project since it is based on the server he is currently redeveloping.

ya theres classic but i dont even have to run it bell can or someone im willing to give my free time in helping to bring a server forward i think if we did classic style we would need more content that makes us different from classic just as me i can lat been doing it for awhile i did ganis an gotten decent at gfx but i have a history that im not proud of since i had a kid i mature alot an dont have the money to buy it thats why if we did a community project it could be graal company server like graal2001 once was if global was incharge we can talk to stefan about supporting a free one with classic accounts allow i have many ideas how we can be different then classic if u guus want to hear about them

if u were a good lat u can change ur styles to ur level anyway that fits the server theme me i can do reallu detail like zodiac or do classic style or zenkou when i work on a server i change the style that fits the server yes i always mess with styles of levels to see what fits the best ect npluse style is fun to do so is classic but very ez

Like every other gun server is based off era, and most 'classic' style servers don't look much different from UN? o.o...
