My advice is try something new. I know it's easier said then, done, but really, your item demo is a boomerang (PICKS UP ITEMS WHOO) that's been in every god damn Zelda game anyone can remember as if it's something to get excited over. You can't even tell that it's a horse anymore, but the blood's still fresh on the club. Your future item/spell list is again following the default template. Use it as a starting point if anything, but don't just use it as is.
Yes, you're making a game on what was once Zelda Online.
Yes, you're using a limited engine.
Yes, you're better off developing and working on an entirely different engine. But if you insist on using Graal...
There's got to be something, some new element you can come up with. Not the same generic WIND/FIRE/WATER spells and BOOMERANGS AND BOOTS WITH WINGS. Or if you insist on using these items, remake them. Have them used for entirely different purposes than the typical Zelda game or Graal Classic style server.
Whatever you decide, you're going to have to come up with some more original ideas to get any further than a few random passerbys.

You make good points but you also brought them up through very unoriginal suggestion.
What I refer to is this below.

What can he honest to god try? Now we know copy pasting the ideas from another game is just a terrible idea but really, If you want to help this guy with a suggestion.. Give an idea! Shoot I'll give one right now, Obviously a joke but hell even jokes have some small idea poppers. There is honestly no new ideas with kind of thing unless you want to mimic something in some way shape or form.
Make a futuristic server where everyone is running in mass chaos away from malfunctioning out of control mech walkers which were made by humanity as a weapon for a dictator but something went wrong and now they'll enslave the human race and it is your duty to save them or otherwise the humans will be tortured, and killed by their evil new robot overlords for their blood to fuel their leader's battery. (Yeah there's a lot wrong with this but hey its something. and I know most generic story ever, Like a 4th graders english report)
But I suggest you try what Monty said and Recreate them in your own image.
I personally believe this server has very high potential but he needs some creative staff, Mostly with storywriting and laying out what there is to do.
