Other classic PWs get forum?

[excaliber7388]

What about hosted, and dev servers? I not sure they have enough of a player base to need a forum, however, if they did have enough players, then it would be understandable.

I dont think stefan has soo much time to invest into era that it can be really count as official playerworld,
atleast every classic playerworld should be treated the same.

Yeah, there isn't a real reason to call Era an official playerworld. And by player base, UN does have more. So, it should be strictly limited to Classic playerworlds if they want a spot on the official forums. I know at least a handful of them will not, but it is nice to be able to have a forum if you cannot provide for one yourself.

The thing is, he has invested a lot of time.

Obviously not enough time for it to be considered anything but Classic. Although, I do know that he did do a lot of work on Era.

No one is arguing that Era should be the only one with the privelage of a forum spot, I don't believe.

We don't have to worry about that. Every server gets a forum upon request. Nothing to argue about. But thanks for your positive addition to this thread.

There are so many Development servers that it would be waste of space, rather just have Hosted & Classic would probably be better.

Or maybe we could have a forum for just hosted playerworlds, and 2 people from each Hosted server would get Moderator rights in the Hosted forum.

If the servers (classic servers that is) get a forum uppon request then it's fair. otherwise, era shouldn't get special treatment (not that I'm saying it is ...)

It wasn't too long ago when all the classic playerworlds had their own forum and 2 staff members were chosen as moderators...but no one used it and it was taken away, if you have a hosted pw and want a forum you should get a free one and just put it in your signature and refer people to it when you post..classic pws should get one upon request to be fair i suppose

That shouldn't be made purely for fairness.
It should be done as to whether or not they will be used. I think practically all, if not all, have perfectly fine forums and anything here wont be used - but these are now the only official Era forums. Yes Era had some, but no longer do according on the managers as they no longer consider it the official one.

I don't think a single playerworld online on Classic would actually have many posts in their forums at all to make it worth it. All PWs can add news to the wiki for now, which will be linked to the front page sometime - so they can still promote their playerworld that way.

Stefan works on whatever playerworld he's needed on. He's done it for my playerworld and I'm sure many others. It's a service provided with the product. Era is higher maintenence and has a substantial player population, so it generally has more time with GraalOnline's technical staff.

One would think the only "official things" would be those which GraalOnline manages directly and markets as a centrepiece product, such as the 'Gold' wing of servers or Graal3D, which require an additional periodical subscription. Traditionally, GraalOnline's global servers were Main server, Newmain server, and arguably Project Newworld, from which NewMain sprung. These servers all were managed directly by the global team and were marketted (although for many years Main server was free) as the centrepiece products ("Main", "Newmain" ?).

[Malinko]

I didn't mention that all "official" worlds are Gold?

When I mean, official, I mean that he works on there as an average staff member within the world. Of course I know Stefan helps out a lot of worlds upon request, though Stefan does seem to work close with Skyld, as well as the former Manager, Rick of Era making decisions with them as a "joint management" of the world.

I don't agree with how Shaun speaks that since Era is a high count that is tends to have more attention, that's not the case at all. Look at Unholy Nation, it's not "official" is it? Stefan is currently helping with a hunting job there, but other than that, I don't think he works there in general as he does with Era, Kingdoms, and Zone.

Official servers are beyond your jurisdiction, don't forget that.

I guess Era's special. Or some **** like that
