I don't see why Skyld hasn't even given us any update as to what his plans are in regards to the server ever since he took over. I mean if anyone was actually going to do anything with the server, I think that you should at least give a small update as to the status of the server and what may happen to it. Skyld really seems like he's the most "suitable" for the position of managing the server. [/end sarcasm]

From what I heard, everything Rufus was doing is getting scrapped to go back to Lance's 2k1. Then again seems like this project is just dead as ever. So here's to the wasted potential! :raises glass:

The thing is, I don't think very many people actually knew what he was doing. Feel free to let us know though. As long as those dreadful classic-tall bodies don't return.

Hence me ranting about Skyld not giving us any information on as to what is going on, it's sad that another person is coming into this thread before he does and telling us "Oh, I heard so and so is happening..". And if what Fall is saying is true, than Skyld really should just go back to not making servers like he has been for however long it's been since he's worked anywhere. Honestly, I don't see why you would convert back to a crap version of a server when there is a very VERY nice server already started.. I don't get what is wrong with people now a'days!

Bro this is a public forum is it not? If you expect people to take anything you're saying seriously, especially someone like Skyld, then I suggest you stop letting your maturity slip because it's your kind of stinking attitude that kills any motivation. Nobody wants to work on a server for scrubs with attitudes like yours.

LordSquirt · #11 06-30-2010, 07:26 AM

No need to fight, take it to PMs ladies.

To me you're both pro in your own ways and that's all you should care about

Kramer · #12 07-04-2010, 04:30 AM

I miss 2k1, i'm going to attempt to find a backup soon.

Kamaeru · #13 07-04-2010, 07:21 AM

Sup Kramer.

Let's do this. Do our thang.

Graal2001 already has so many unfinished plans which are genius, it's like we would be required to do no thinking whatsoever and the fun part is up to the willing.

A far cry from a project like Classic, where loads of my brain seem to be required.
Development for Graal2001 should be cake.

There was a time when Graal2001 development required specialization, and these days it seems like there are MORE qualified developers around. They're just scattered and not concentrated. I'd like to see 2k1 turned into something of a concentration camp for developers.

Scoff if you'd like. You're probably taking what I said out of context.

Fulg0reSama · #14 07-04-2010, 07:44 AM

Whoever takes the above out of context is an ignorant noob.

Alure1316 · #15 07-06-2010, 08:45 PM

I'd like to see Graal2001 open its doors again. Graal PC/Mac needs to get its playerbase back, as there seems to be more players on iPhone Graal...

Lance · #16 07-12-2010, 11:51 PM

This thread is awesome. Did you guys know (I hated spoiling surprises) that eons ago I was setting it up where you could be whatever type of body you liked better? It had almost been finished when we were strong-armed into a premature release!

I don't think so, unfortunately. He's still endlessly scavenging for cheese using portals.

Having two different body sizes with completely different proportions sounds (and looks) dumb as hell.

Oh no, some people might have been taller than other people! To be fair, it was only going to be a temporary thing anyway. The point of it was to transition from having scripts set specific animations to setting animations based on the type of body being worked with (human, bomy, whatever). Stage 2 of the same plan was to ditch both in favor of the new short bodies whenever ganis were made for them. Unfortunately, we never made it to Stage 2 because our gani-making folks were never up to the task.

Alure1316 · #21 07-13-2010, 08:25 PM

So who is in charge now and when is Bomy Islands opening up again? At least have a sparring room or "bomberman" game up again.

Skyld, and unknown (never if you use forum activity as a measure of server progress).

gravator · #23 07-14-2010, 02:11 PM

It has been awhile since this server has been up, and since then i'm sure many changes to the scripting engine and whatever else was made better or available for use, Is it REALLY necessary to remake all of the graphics for the entire server AND all of the scripting as if you were making something completly from nothing? There was quite a bit of old content, tiles, and other good graphics ready to go, and i'm unsure what was planned with scripting everything, it felt to me like people were making entirely new levels, gani's tilesets and whatnot and making it in the image of bomy moon without using a thing from the old server.

Since the last time it was opened the server went on a fort knox type of lockdown where nothing is shown to the community or talked about other than your assurance that "work is being done, hold your horses please" And sadly, rufus was overwhelmed by the workload, most likely from lack of proper help to do it and now i feel all of the work you have done, koni and lance before you, will not really be used and the next manager will try to add their ideas to the server from square one pretty much, stating such things as "The scripting was poorly done, and a general mess, so i started over and things are going great, but there is lots to do so send in those applications and you might be hired! High quality work only." and the tired excuses some people use about not wanting to work with a certain player because "It just wont work out, we CAN'T work together." that's BS, in the real world you do your damn job even if you hate the other guy, it's all about the server, not your own little personal feelings against another worker.

James205 · #24 07-15-2010, 06:36 PM

Haha this is still being passed on from on developer to another? Each one claiming significant progress has been made and some announcement is coming... then nothing comes.

I'd think it would be easy enough to atleast put up a simple release of g2k1, remember when it first came out and there was barely anything to do because nothing was finished? All you could really do was jump rope, do one quest, cs and a couple of other things. Why not release it from it's bare essential form when it was released initially? Then progressively work on finishing and releasing items/jobs/quests like how it did in the first place?

It worked before and it should work again. I mean we are honestly talking about a playerworld that was released 10 years ago. You're never going to get people engaged in it by just simply passing it to someone, that person claiming it's almost done, quits then passes it on to someone else.

What seems to keep happening is people come in, plan to change wayyy too much then lose interest. Please someone just do it right for god sakes or just put it to rest forever.

I agree. Release Bomy for us, and work on the server while we play the basic quests, and while we mine, and cut bushes for gralat and just have fun around the server. Then release packets of content every month or so.

At this rate, Bomy Island will never be released. Did Rufus even work on it? I remember he posted a video on YouTube of him gliding down the swamp. Wtf?

Whatever happens, I will only be able to participate if it functions with PC users. There is no way I'm ever going to buy an iPhone. I'm just not into cell phones, or iPods.

DarkHero · #32 07-22-2010, 08:36 AM

yeah i remember it was released and people were playing it, then died in a week or so, the player count went down dramatically after a week, it was a good try tho =[ i had faith, i just fished haha

Soto · #33 07-27-2010, 09:24 AM

A lot of old faces popping up in this thread

. That would be nice to have the old server around for a while, people to reunite. If not then i think its time to let it rest. For the heck of it i will check back here every few months or so to see if any progress has been done. Been doing this for 2 or 3 years now it just seems to be the same stuff over and over again.

I, too, check back every few months just to see how it's going...same old story

Brad · #35 08-04-2010, 07:43 AM

if it goes iphone/pc and the playercount was 1k plus 2k1 would be an entirely different world. In addition, those of us without iphones who work full-time and can't sit around in class/their house/whatever people without jobs do would fall behind hardcore as far as the economy went ;/. Kingdoms Wars would be pretty insane though ;D

Kamaeru · #36 08-11-2010, 07:01 PM

If you don't think apple farming is what makes Graal good then you can GIT OUT.

Kramer · #39 09-18-2010, 12:56 PM

Hi...We should see if we can revive 2k1 on the iphone maybe?
[edit] Just read back on that ;P
Well, it would be nice and it's compatible with the ipod touch, and if you could access it via PC/Mac too it would be cool. What it really needs is an economic plan and a hook, otherwise people will only check it out for a bat and move on. There needs to be a clear set goal for the players to aspire to and are willing to spend time working towards it. For a time we had an economic balance on hats but the job system lacked in giving new players an equal opportunity to compete with the players that had been in it from the beginning making most new players lost and confused as to what the point of the game was. For the Kingdom system to function it relied on players that had been around long enough to understand the game, don't get me wrong, the kingdoms were some of the best part of the server, but they were set up very unfriendly to new players. I think with some good planning this server can be salvageable.

Geno · #40 09-18-2010, 06:40 PM

g2k1 on iphone would be awesome
