Sure, they're good enough, but I wouldn't use any terms that express any amount of quality when describing them.

UN, especially its events, is just a big combination of everything good on any other server, with variations slight enough to call them different. The only original content on UN has been around for years, with little to no effort to restore/improve it (castlewars, rpg place, ring/storyline quests), instead replaced by "lolhats" and "BTK on top", with very brief new things popping up, and even then, only for a short time (zombie infection, ski resort).

UN's revolving staff line-up and obvious favoritism in hirings takes a lot of the blame.

In any case, I don't see a -whole- lot of difference to be honest. Quests have changed little...maybe a few more of them (I haven't exactly checked), maybe some bug fixes. Level improvements (UN's levels aren't terrific, however when compared to what you see elsewhere, they're a cut above most), lots of spar improvements and such. But honestly, from when I started Graal around '02 I see very little difference.

It's a formula that seems to work, however. And they certainly have the best tools available to GPs and such for moderating players (although the list of things you can't do in jail seems a little overkill), which seems to pay off. They do need to do a better job filtering what staff get hired however...not the most competent people.

As for the economy, it used to be a lot better when there were very minimal hats and NPC's. But now that there have been a plethora of hat shop releases, that's all you will see being massed in relation to an economy. Currency, at the moment, is also worthless.

N-Pulse had stupid events too, but I'm extremely biased and never liked NP. The ugly sumo and charge come to mind.

Vague. Would you like to be specific? We've got backstab, pillowfight, sumolegacy, regular sumo, etc etc

Sumo was a gold mine that was milked to unplayability. I'd log on, see Sumo was being hosted, and then cringe because there was some new stupid gimmick attached to it.



I recall charge being tiny and cramped, all in an effort to make look less like Delteria's spacious and perfected version.



Obviously
