New Server?

Hello Graalians,

I am actually wondering what you would do..

The current servers are having a pretty low playercount already, And i'm wondering if it is worth buying new time for my server..

Would you do it?

People that are capable of developing yes, people that feel like it or have the time for it, and also have a decent quality of work, not so much.

Players, i guess that if your server is good enough, and you advertise for it on your own, you could draw players in.

Would i buy servertime? no, then why did i? I'm crazy.

If you have a strong enough idea and you can actually contribute to a majority of the development, go for it.

However if you don't enjoy developing, don't because you are going have trouble finding quality people to work for you.

I voted yes, but it really depends of the situation you are in.
Just like Jerret said, if you find yourself being able to do quite a lot of work on it and only need a few developers, then you could probably give it a try. But it still requires strong ideas, concepts and much more.

It's up to you

As for whether or not there are players, potentially yes, but not if you have to pay to play. so no. lol. Just look at the iPhone regularly is over 1k players.

No, unless I had a large portion of my server already done and a strong direction in which I intended to go in.

Well, The graphics are done, So are the systems and levels.. You can actually play on it already.

The only problem is that i want to change the gameplay but i need scripts and level makers for that.. And it is pretty hard to find very good scripters / level makers which actually work..

If I were you, I would focus on learning how to level and/or script first

You're obviously going in the wrong direction if you start like that =/
Try to think about custom tiles yourself and find a decent graphic artist, you might then come to something satisfying for everyone.

I didn't say the server is like that, We already have a tileset and levels.. I only said that i learned making levels with the Era tiles and that it looks like era when i make them.. Thats why i dont make levels on my own server ;p
