Reset yes, ofcourse we'd need to almost replan the server. i wish i wasn't pulled away from the staff meeting.

I want to remake bomies to not bee so exclusive... I could ofcourse do this w/o current owners being lost. (so soto won't be pissed and then call me a focker)

but hats and stuff. that all needs to go. I know everyone worked hard for this. but worked hard fow what? My biggest problem i your guys put SO much effort into such an un-clear goal. It isn't healthy! And frankly, it isnt gameplay either. Its a trading card game basically. go out and buy pokemon cards if you want that, this is graal, not pokemon card game.

the reset cant just happen stupidly. like reset THEN fix stuff. you need to fix suff backstage, then reset/upload.

i personally hate bomies. The gen 4 is just a lil stupider than i acualy thought it would be =\ so i dont really care for gen4 that much. If i make a bomy thing. It would be fair and non-exclusive. Newbies to 2k1 get nothing unless they hack or staff give them stuff or they have a rich friend. We don't wanna have %1 of the people controling 90% of the wealth (This is acually the case in USA, and they wonder why our economy is bad =_= )

Unclear goal? I think collecting stuff was the goal.. to get it all wiped away in the blink of an eye would piss some people off when that is all they have been doing for 7 months or something.

Who are you to say what 2k1 is? So it's got a lot of trading and stuff involved in it, so do tons of games.

I say if you reset it there needs to be compensation to the people that have been sweating for months and months to get items that now all the sudden they will lose without any say in the matter, seeing as how SK is saying it's up to the staff and not the players to do what is best FOR THE PLAYERS.

Oh well, if it happens I doubt I'll come back on 2k1.. reset would have been nice a month or two ago, but now the economy has improved and most of the stuff you guys want to do can be worked around the current stuff, you just want to make it easier for yourselves.

I agree with Konidias!

yeah. the staff members were all taking their own 'respected' times in the washroom, though.

I like the reset idea but SK says that the server will not be all role-playing. Well, it seems to me as if the only improvements you guys will be making is to role-playing. You got the prices for things set up, yuo have the classes, the hats for classes etc. That's all role-playing business. I don't mind that at all, but how does the non-roleplay stuff improve?

I like the idea of Reseting the Server...
But how can you say the Economy Is 'Booming' now??
Half the time there is only like 3 people in the markets selling overpriced hats

I also like the idea about adding all the new Role Playing Additions... Maybe there could be a preset list of Classes for each kingdom? I mean, I'm sort of tired using a fireball as an Archmage of Dustari and being called a Lamer//n00b for doing so ... Maybe for the Mage add a few spells, add in the Mana script, find someone to make a few better heads... And for like other classes, Knight for example, Maybe have the old uh.. (What do you call the Trident they used on the horses??) But only this would be added when they have the tag on..

But All over all, I'd like to introduce another Idea I thought up that might Spice up RP on G2k1 a bit...

Visual Action Npc:
I Don't know about you but I know I'm sick of constantly having to say something like, ":: sits ::, :: Kneels ::". How about a visual GUI Interface that allows you to select certain Visual Animations of these Actions... Sort of like the trading item but you could also bind keys to each action to speed it up a bit =P. Here are some actions I'd like to have personally,
Kneel, Sit, Lay(=P), Maybe Fighting? like Kick and Punch.. (That can get useful =D), A sort of Chuckle?, a certian Pose before a fight or just to be used by the Kings guards..., and A Wave?

Well Those are my thoughts on the issue... I don't really know if the Idea would actually be accepted.. but I rember awhile ago, SK asked everyone of certain Things that we would like to see on 2k1, I told him this and he Approved of it =D but I never heard from him agian...

just reset the ****ing hats (all of them) and make them free. You can only carry so many and you can buy a new space for like 20 gralats.

Any objections to this? Why? What good are hats, really? You put them on your head, maybe, and you consider them "rare." Why? You want the pointless gralats that you use to buy more hats with. If you have the hats for free, you will most likely not want to sell/buy them.



STORAGE SYSTEM/PLACES.
Why do you cary tons of heavy items?

You should only be able to carry one sword, one shield, one weapon (fireball, bomb), and one job's worth of tools. Maybe five/ten of each mineral. One axe, one hammer/one water can, one shovel.

The other items are stored in your own personal storage thing.

I think it's possible.

And yes if there was a reset, I'd like to see everything
to be reset (Including hats, grelats, PHs, Bomies, EVERYTHING)
I mean It would be fun knowing that your not the only poorest person on and you could afford half the crap the next person could...

One more thing... Maybe replacing this new and 'Improved' Marketing system with the ol' ' 1g, rent a stand of your choice' system would bring a lot more people back to the Markets.. 0.o I mean I remember a lot of people selling items and hats in the Market BEFORE you added in this System...
I think you would be doing us all a favor by replacing it =P

Grrrrr

I DO NOT RP
that is why this server sucks now

i want some good quests like classic has

i want the et system to be like classic

i want mulit person quests that are not stupid like the ones we have now, the only reason the current quests are hard is because you have to get people, and there are half the people on graal that there used to be

and i would like new things to come out often
i think we need like 5 developers, so something fun and new comes out like every week, or every 2 weeks or so
and you can take off old thing, this is like a reward for oldbies, we all have fun npc and things that newer people cant get

thats all for now
bye

why waste your time on making RP stuff when this stuff will be on 2002. when 2002 is out no one will want to RP on 2001. if you want quests like classic why dont you go to classic since obviously 2001 doesn't have what you are looking for in a server.

Heck we shouldn't NEED a reset. but the server was screwed over from the begining, we should thank hats for that. hell, we shouldt thank bomies too. We (the staff) want a fresh start. that is all im saying. A frest start to right what WAS wrong. instead, you want us to try to make it better by not reseting and trying to draw money out of the economy, we have been doing that but its a messy process and it is unstable, kinda like putting colors in with the whites. (refereced to clothes in the wash)

No, I don't think the server should be reset. Many people worked months to get the items they have now. I don't want to have all of that time thrown away. G2k2 will be out soon enough, you can use that for RPing. The economy is also much better now that so much money has been deleted. Alot of hat prices have been cut in half.

Know why no one is ever playing in any events? Because no ETs are ever holding them. All the time I see people asking if someone will hold an event, but no one ever does. I was on Graal for awhile today (Four or five hours), and I only saw one event being held the entire time. We only got that one event because I gave the ET 100g to give out as prize money.
