I voted "no" because if the server is going to reset, chances are it'll be just as shitty as before, unless you change pretty much every thing about 2k1.
-The npcs.
the npcs on 2k1 are just to lure newbies to it's high-teck look. I sadly fell for that. Also the staff seem to be so special that they can have thier own toys and special privlages and advantages over other players. Why the hell is there a hat that only staff can get, and 1 lucky player? Not to mention most of our staff don't even deserver thier positions, etc, but I'll get to that in a sec.
most of the npcs on the server either don't work correctly, are makeshift work, or cost to many hours of your free time and a keyboard (gralats). The jobs take far to long to do and they don't pay off well enough (my bassis of curency on graal is that there is always someone with an ungodly amount of money and I somehow never have more than 1k for more than a week). Other cases are that most of the npcs cost far to much that anyone could ever aford if they never seen the server before the new version of the default tileset.
-The values of the npcs and other things.
Hats are just pretty skins. None should be staff-only, none should cost more than ... 0g, and none should be limited edition.
colections are fun, but shouldn't be there if it is imposible for 75% of the players to compleat the colection. Bomys and houses are far too expecive. I think them being limited is a big mistake. Houses are nice, but there are far to few of them, and they are far to expencive for just 1 level to have your own work of creativity for graal. I like the villas because they aren't customizeable (when they are made well) so its not like rent server space, and there isn't rent to keep you working for a place to aviod the jerks who play for kills, as well as a nice place to call home. They still cost far to much. My basis for the curency is someone always haveing 100 times as much as myself, and the keyboards I've worn out in crafting and mineing, lol. things should be much easier to get, and actualy rewarding for more than 5 seconds after purchase.
-The staff
I don't care what anyone says: 2k1 staff are the wort staff. I think the worst staff member of the bunch is Brad. Anyways, it seems the staff get special privlages, npcs, etc that normal players can't have. Staff shouldn't be any different from normal players and should work for the server for the good of the server, not personal gain. I think all existing staff on the server should be deleated, and there should be a fair recruteing of new staff, and not too many. Also the staff's abilitys should be limited. Auctioneers and ets don't need jack squat, with the exception of hosting auctions and events. police only need thier warpto and jailing abilities. not a pretty police hat, thats for sure. FAQ don't need ANYTHING. levels administators (gats, nats, lats, whatever you call them) should be fired if the players aren't impressed with thier work, and they only need warpto, and they don't need access to every gate in graal, the admin should be in the guild to use the gate, etc, not a built in privlage. There shouldn't be anyone capable of removeing ownership of a house, let alone anyone's items without that person's concent when it is proven the npc, etc works correctly. if glitches are reported in this npc, etc, then whoever ownes the server can make it so this thing can't be used untill fixed, and then the owners get it back.
oh, and I've seen a staff mine with a zaltic rifle before. WTF???
-the jobs
maby I mentioned this in npcs, but the jobs realy need to be more intresting. mineing, crafting, and bread makeing are wearing out your d key, and eventualy cost real money for a new keyboard, or your not pressing the key fast enough to get the job done asap. the only jobs I aprove of are milking cows and farming... mineing and crafting are cool ideas, but can't be made intresting, or fun to do. the mineing and crafting should be deleated. pearl diveing needs to go, too.
I think I've ranted long enough for now... and I've lost my train of thought, lol. oh yes... if you could make the server fun in the aspects I more or less sugested, if not more than them, then a server reset would be nice, because you'd be makeing a new server by the same name. |
