You missed the whole damn point of my thread...the staff isnt there to work on classic servers, that was the point..The solution you speak of proves my point, that classic servers are being pushed out

And you missed my point. Specifically: This is a good thing.

I don't see the downside to this. If all servers were risen to gold quality what is the bad side?

the downside is there sre people such as myself that dont much care for the gold server stuff

Not in everyones eyes, it isnt...you cant speak for everyone

And nobody does anything to harm them. All Oasis seeks to do is provide a superior alternative for the players of servers like N-Pulse, and that's hardly unfair. The unfairness would be in restricting them to sub-standard worlds.

And I don't intend to. I'm talking from Graal's perspective, since Graal is the one that decides who gets private servers.

Am I the only one noticing Kai and Moonie argue a lot? -.-

Still, it's on-topic and mostly bereft of name-calling. It's perfectly valid.

Wait wait wait...

Your saying you "dont much care for" quality servers? Why keep up with the same ole' servers that are mediokre? I don't see your point, care to expand?

I play graal for the players, not the servers.

Who cares for 3d terrain when you can sit back on NP and laugh at new players?

Unfortunate for you then because new players will stop coming if there isn't something there that will absolutely capture thier interest(s). The majority of Graal is under 18 years of age thus no access to credit cards. Parents aren't going to just fork over money for something that doesn't look very much worth thier time. If Graal does not progress in quality then the chances of new players coming in will dwindle to nothing. As much as I like small communities, that can hurt the chances of players whose talent(s) can be used to thier highest in developing new worlds or continuing work and development for existing worlds.

Graal, in my opinion, is quite in need of very talented graphic artists. This is not to mean that we don't have them already because we do just not enough. Same thing with scriptors. Graal has many good scriptors such as Kaimetsu, but more are needed to help lighten the load for many and to increase speed in development stages. Yeah, a lot of them do work for the gold servers which shouldn't too surprising that they probably find the opportunities there are much more yeilding than some of the"off-the-shelf" PWs. Its that thing of 'what's in it for me?' that determines where people go. Typically, most players are only concerned with getting an RC for boasting reasons so that's what's in it for them.

This is why unixmad needs to higher some staff, 4-5 would be enough. That go round helping the PW's with scripting\GFX\levels. These people wouldn't do all the work but help out when neccesary.

Alot of things.

Some make graphics for classic, some for 2k2, and others like me go server to server looking for illegal gfx.

I am refering to the different bodies, fighting system, and terrain...not everyone cares for that

And nobody does anything to harm them. All Oasis seeks to do is seek a superior alternative for the players of servers like N-Pulse, and that's hardly unfair. The unfairness would be in restricting them to sub-standard worlds.

I wasnt only refering to oasis, It appears to me that stefan and unixmad are going down the line to get rid of classic servers, along with other people...but the classic servers shouldnt be made to feel like crap because they are classic servers..anyone with a brain can see where the road is leading...with people like you saying the classic servers are "sub standard servers" alot of us are people working very hard to keep these servers going, even though it doesnt seem worth it anymore

<3 for NP and all classic servers

The majority seem to prefer it. Why should Graal waste resources trying to appease the minority? As a server manager you should understand the need to tailor to a specific audience.

It doesn't matter how hard you work on them. The classic servers are sub-standard. They're mostly pitiful in terms of coding and game design. What is wrong with Graal wanting to get rid of them? Why would they want to waste resources on dead weight like N-Pulse when all it really does is make the game look bad?

This couldn't be said better. Besides, once all the servers have their own new body system them the old bodie styles will just be a bad memory. I feel that this year in Graal will show alot of progress in forgetting the old style in things and developing brand new ideas.
