providence should be taken down, it was great at one time but the spark is gone, I have no clue where tyne is, I talk to him on aim every so often, not about providence though, did malak quit graal?

promising playerworlds need to work faster I think, I don't really anticipate much from renegade but my opinion may have changed when I have played it

koni, just wondering but how is oasis development going? if you can get oasis out maybe you can give people an actual GOOD place to go to? not a hellhole like un

Unholynation lacks at quests and such but what it has is an active community. Sparring is quite popular there also.

It's obvious that if you take something away, you must put something there to replace it. So my suggestion, as been stated before by others, is to have these people merge together to make new pws with more staff and dedication.

You can only spread a spoonfull of peanut butter across so many crackers, before its been spread too thin.
You can't exactly force people to merge... It's a power issue.

The belief is this. You make a playerworld. Thats it. That name is now never allowed to be used again. If the manager quits. The server comes down. It stops everything. Thus a server really shouldn't have a team of people working on it. Possibly 3 max? And they should be high admins, and atleast atlernate the server with the original 3 before it's removed.

Frankly playerworlds will just sit there, it's all about opinions. Players love their home servers, yet they often complain about it.

I'll say this, if playerworlds didn't fix what wasn't broken they'd be better off. Eg. N-Pulse. People wanted old N-Pulse back. Yet it hasn't returned. Yes modified places, it's not OLD npulse, but then again it's not anyone's choice, as you can see the player base is hurt because that promise was never fullfilled, yet they strive for something never, but in all, it's not what is needed. Graal needs to go back a few steps as for servers. Rules need to be implimented (they will if unixmad agree's to them).

That is one example. Not to dog npulse...I like the server it's just as a playerbase it's depleting somewhat. As have some servers too...yet why? all this revamping crap and not ever being done and people quitting in the middle and, it's just a hassle...

UN has proven that the players of it's server like it far more than what classic has become and well over taken the #1 world on the classic side for some time. Yet classic with it's updates isn't classic anymore and thats the whole point

When you make something "LEAVE IT ALONE" if it sucks at first, then let it suck, TAKE IT DOWN...if you have a strong base..."LEAVE IT ALONE" why? cuz the moment you add totally new things you lose your old players...right there...And if you don't think they matter...HA you have something else coming because they are your servers roots and influence...New players come, they see someone and if they hear someone is good or someone is really friendly etc etc...They'll wanna hang around more...because it's a good enviroment...change things and you have a bunch of new people not really knowing whats good and when old players dog the server, their mindset may be altered.

All in all I say that some servers should be removed, and replaced...but without a proper PW system in place and people skipping to stefan occasionally, there isn't any form of system to get them removed or put up...and one has to be implimented so things can be taken care of. I will further try to contact them...and see what will happen. So I'll post it if I am allowed to...

Don't touch UN. UN is where 1/5th of the graal population goes. It is the place to PK and spar. It's better than Classic in those respects. Don't touch it. If you want to criticize it, fine. If you want to criticize the people there, fine. But it does it's job. It brings the player population in.

And if you want to complain about "gfs and bfs" you should look no further than Classic. I've played it and not only are a great deal of people there profoundly stupid and gullible, but they also look for 'g/fs" and "b/fs". I played classic for about a year before UN came out, and I would take UN over classic any day. Classic is an okay server, but the lag sucks.

Nemesis, you know as well as I do, that the playerbase for Npulse went away when Geo merged Teir Dal with Npulse, then made the horrid intro, then took all the guilds away and started jailing people who wore their guild tags. We have busted our rumps to try to fix it, while adding new things also to try and keep people interested. Nothing can stay the same, people get bored. We are also going to bring back some of the old quests as soon as I figure out which ones.
I am not a perfect Manager, and I have made alot of mistakes. I am just tired of everyone blaming us as the "supposed" downfall of npulse, when we are still recovering from what Geo did.
Npulse isnt anywhere near dead, or we wouldnt be 4 or 5 on the list alot of times. Dont give me this crap about how npulse used to be number 2 with over 100 players. Alot has changed since then, the main thing being p2p, where people dropped out like flies, and a crapload of servers added.
UN gets alot of players, yes...I have played the server quite a bit, and I see why. Dont get me wrong I think UN has some pretty cool NPC's and is a nice, yet laggy, place to pk, but if you watch the way people talk to each other, and watch the masses, maybe you will get a clue as to why it is so popular. It is a proven fact that the less rules you inforce, the more players will like your PW.
PW people should spend more time on a server before saying anything about it.
Whether you like the server or not, most of us have worked really hard on them.

You people complain too much, but I understand that the playerworlds have been not reviewed by the PWA, and just got Stefan to review them. I'll whip Stefan into shape on that, he usually listens to me for some reason o.O?
And Stefan came on Bravo yesterday. Told us to fix a few things and get the map together and all the towns connected. Other then that he said he loved it and things were organized.
So really, unless you work there and kknow whats happening and whats going to happen. You can't really judge the server.

I don't play NPulse now because it's boring. If you can add
something that can entertain for more than an hour, i might
play there. Log Flume wasn't good enough entertainment to keep me playing there. Maybe if the log flume could carry me from the top to the bottom of the overworld, I might like it.

Then for Graal's sake, put a classic serve cap of 10 servers or something. New servers come online, older ones go. The servers that stay online currently have to compete, and compete hard to stay on the serverlist and not get knocked off by new developing servers.

Don't worry about the point when we get 10 great playerworlds on classic and they rival each other. That's still ages away.

That looks like sarcasim, considering, 2/5ths of graal's "population" is on classic, I bet all the classic PKers would woop, UNs (I say this because I have 300 kills 40 deaths on UN with lvl 2 sword and 7 hearts). UN might have some good sparrers, I'll give you that.

And for the bf/gf thing, that changed along time ago, most people don't do that crap there anymore. And the lag on classic isn't horrible, UN's day/night is laggy at times (just like g2k1)

In My opinion classic is going up hill faster then all the other servers are. The others are either in neutral rolling down the hill, or the idiot in control is driving in reverse.

Heh, thanks....I think? I know its slow...sucks when I'm the only one doing any work. I have to cover practically all aspects. If I can get more dedicated people that won't whine because they don't get "special" stuff, then things might go faster since I won't be having to arbitrate which staff person gets what rights. I hire people for one thing usually and thats it. They get the rights that they need for that job...or should need.

Heck, I plan on not even allowing staff to have any special NPCs or being able to use whatever NPC they want because it will instantly ruin things. I'm tired of staff on other PWs fighting over who gets the best NPCWs and what not...thats why those servers break down. Its not supposed to be about that, it is supposed to be about helping the server, the staff, and playerbase to work together to make things flow in an organized fashion.

Also, I'm kinda needing a couple special things first before I would re-open the doors. The obvious is the much needed GServer that Graal2002 uses and the second is for my gmap to be uploaded. If those things would happen, I'd then be more than happy to let people in to check things out and play...and also to help and give suggestions.
