Strict rules or not, I would like to get this thread back on track

.

So how should I go about this? Post a short summary of my world, and ask if anyone is interested?

You need some content first, screenshots of what is to come, to get people hyped about your playerworld and want to help out.

I'm already hyped from seeing his GFX, and hearing he plays RPG Maker2000. That is leet.

Well, I can edit some screenshots to make fake screens, seeing as I can't make real ones. I don't have the programing know how. I'll also post my ideas in a .txt document to get people thinking about it.

Dude, look, level making on graal is literally childs play, it's point and click. Just open up graal, click training, press f4 and you're in the editor, click on a tile on the right palette then put it on the main screen, no programming needed, press play on the level and press alt+2 to take screenshot

Well, first off, you earn my commendations for making a pretty good start on these forums and being good with graphics. You've earned my respect.

Secondly, you'll want to kind of make a writeup of what your server will be about, how it will work, etc. You'll really need to put a lot of effort into that alone just to get people interested.

You'll also need images and layouts and a map if you can. I'm sure that there will be people willing to help you (both here and in the Playerworlds and Development Forums) with scripting / level making / map generating, etc.

There's also the search feature for the forums in case you want to go back and find FAQs and such posted by other members many months ago, I'm sure you'll be able to find something.

Good luck, I like what you have so far, it looks like you have a lot of potential to go far here.

I'll help, I like the look of your graphics and I have too much free time for my own good ;_;

Odd. Check your options.

Here's a rough outline I typed up - it's very rought right now. These are just a few of my ideas. Let me know what you think.

Hi Nalif, and welcome to Graal

This concept sounds very nice, and also your graphics are great. Although you will need a lot of scripting for your project which you should also learn yourself, it will be well worth it! Your project sounds very interesting and fun

I suggest that you get some more show-off material and post it in the playerworlds forum, where you could probably get some people to help you.
I would help you myself, but I am currently part of so many other projects that I would not be a great help. But if you have some specific question, feel free to contact me

I would suggest getting a job on a currently online playerworld (getting a job on one of the Gold servers or Graal Adventure Land or whatever its called now would greatly help) as GAT (Graphics Administrative Team) to get your feet wet and see first-hand how a playerworld is made/run. Good luck though.

I'm going to try to understand scripting, but I don't see myself as ever being a good scripter. I just can't understand it - although I get parts of it. I think I'll stick with graphics - but I will try and learn it, just so It will better my skills at being the moderator of a Graal world.

I'm going to throw together a world map tonight hopefully. I'll also throw together some fake screenies for eye candy
