Intro + Progress Update

[Oni]

Well actually, by "consolidate" I mean revisiting the things that have not been a priority when building the systems, working on the Spar + Event systems, working on Quest related content & resources etc, this is mainly level insides, not to say it isn't important, I want them to contain much more detail in terms of NPC interaction than what people are used to, but things have needed to be done in a certain order and this is really one of the last things necessary to make the server presentable as "complete".

Alright, good to hear!

There never has been a feeling that certain things should be kept as they were "for the sake of being old", my message has always been that it's important everything fits towards the theme, some times old content will do this, other times not

.
I don't agree with you on this one for many reasons. Just ask anyone who isn't satisfied with the way classic is. Basically we're held back by some of you oldbies who refuse to change. A few examples; That disgusting excuse for a graphic Angel Clan, Supernicks, that retarted Love Shack, LEVEL 14, the Bank, and the list just goes on and on. Some of these places aren't HORRIBLE, yea we can LIVE with them, but we have the power to make them 10x better so why not? Because you oldbies won't have it. :|
You guys have to raise your standards if you want to compete with other modern mmorpgs let alone the other playerworlds.

Nothing is going to be implemented for the hell of it, there is a planned approach regarding to the main Questing content which is much more sophisticated than on the server previously, regarding an Economy there are alot of ideas which have been discussed though nothing concrete until a later point of time, meanwhile nothing wreckless shall be done that can possibly impede our ability to utilize an economy in future,

Your 100 percent right. Thats why I said "Every inch of the server needs to have thought put into it." I think you might have missed that.

I'm very happy to hear that you guys fixed the hd.

Something you have to consider is that in aiming to create an Adventure/Questing style server (which Graal lacks), one of the main goals is to create something which is both attractive and friendly towards entirely new players, this is much easier achieved with single player Quests.

I'm not going to say "No your right, and I'm wrong", because I don't really know. But in my opinion thats not what you should be doing. If people want a real quest adventure they can just play all the other 1000's of well made mmorpgs that have been released in the last few years. Not Graal, this game lacks professionalism. Only a select few, and crazy oldbies want to actually quest on classic.

If you implement farming/grinding as part of the economy people won't play. Nobody wants to grind for gralats.

lmao
Well obviously if theres nothing WORTH BUYING. I don't know if theres anything wrong with your head Maximus, but it looks like your simplistic canadian lifestyle really took a toll on your judgement.
Do you think people on WoW want to grind for hours just to level up? NO, but they'll do it in order to be better than the next man.
