about 1/4 of the levels is the horizon
We wanted our mounts, boats, and player wings purpose for travel. Actual oceans separating continents also take quite a bit of levels. The continent i'm working on now is 7 x 13 which is quite large compared to other servers.

We will have approx. 4-5 continents.

I just hope you wont have 1296 levels, and people only stay in 2-3 levels like UN

no developer seems to think keeping servers small is a good idea

you guys like gigantic levels and such, and that's fine. it's part of your style. if the project gets completed then it doesn't matter.

This isn't your typical server where there's a bunch of houses everywhere that no one goes in. We don't have a spar rooms every 10 levels or player houses littering the gmap. We will have a specific continent for player houses, and guildhouses, aligned to the server fittings. We're planning for a high playercount so we're making sure we have room to fit the needs of the server, also we plan to release server expansions after release.

Most of the continent is forest, highlands, ect with monsters roaming. Monsters will have drop rates for quests, or simply harvesting or ingredients for cooking and other features that we're not ready to disclose. So cutting that continent in half would crowd single player questing by limiting the monster count, limiting the town sizes, limit the separation of environment (meaning 2 level forest suddenly turning into a 4 level desert looks ridiculous) and limiting the adventuring on the server. I hope this shines some light on your concerns regarding the server size.

New "Chatbox" as well call it (the bottom-left box).

It can handle messages to players, masses, guild messages, and more!

I'll include this items functionality among others on my future video of our systems, which is coming soon!

New inventory. Separated by categories so it's easier to narrow down want you want, just like the classic q menu does with folders for the most part. Side buttons select the category. You can also right click to drop an item or do other things I'll mention later on.

The right will have "key" items, such as collectables, quest keys, ect that don't really need much of anything but a count.

I am posting this with it not finished to ask what kinds of things you guys would like to see as extra information in an inventory though. Creative ideas to make something new as an item or system is good advice as well!

Let us know! We ARE making this server for you in the end anyways.

Also the levels are not done and I probably could have taken a screenshot in a better place where tiles werent near finished yet among other things, so just ignore that.

Looks good guys.

SylviaA · #8 12-12-2012, 05:11 AM

Neato! Good luck on the server

We've been working hard, trying to release enough content to show off some progress on our development. As far as the gmap goes, i'm just about done with our 2nd continent. We will post a small trailer showing off its areas with screenshots soon. I also went ahead and re-detailed the whole server ( all the grass layers everyone was talking about). I'm thankful for the advise and the server looks so much better. Also remade quite a bit of the tileset, including our trees top/bottom, grass, and some other pieces. I'm going to go ahead and post a map of the huge continent, so you can see the "layout" kinda...

more coming soon!

****in right

Just a little update:

We've built upon a mail system and now have that finished and tailored to our server. We are working on the npc chat right now, and then moving on to the quest systems.

Other things in the near future are:
- A finished inventory
- Complete player movement system done right
- Shop system
- Extra stuff affiliated with the shop system and economy (will be released when it's done)
- A complete quest with levels and all
- Baddies/Monsters AI
- Tidy up of the current weapons to work complete
- Spar room systems

These are just the things we are looking to finish within the next few weeks in scripting. For levels an entire second continent is near finished, with mostly only insides left. Decus (I think) is then moving to the main continent. Hopefully we will be ready for yet another "preview" within a month. We need a lot more content to really show what we're trying to do still so, hopefully...

I know I haven't shown much of our old or revamped systems off too much yet. I'm waiting on getting enough to do a little video so you all can see how it will actually work together.

On topic, the quality of work you guys are putting out is amazing. I would come back to Graal to play this server if the quality is as high as it seems.

i'm sure similar ideas have been suggested, and yet it's never actually implemented anywhere

I never explained my reasoning because your post was almost three weeks old and it seemed like a waste to explain something if you might not read it. I replied to test the waters and to see if you were still active.

Now I don't even want to debate it because I feel all your reply would be is an insult riddled with profanity.
