Un
 

Lemme be the first to admit that years ago I talked alot of trash about UN...and it was deserved then. However, currently they have the highest playercount as well as some of the most creative and entertaining events. Props to UN...don't know management or anything but you guys have been entertaining me and I'm happy.

yeah, all the kids grew up.

Lunaris is always saying something about anal, and more than half of the masses I see are stickam links.

I'd say it's about the same

nop.

There's still InuYasha RPrs too

Not really. They've taken ideas from other servers and replicated them poorly. Maloria back in the day had much better, and N-Pulse has much better right now.

UN is easily the best server to spar on, however.

Ya Shaded Legend had events so everyone copied them rite?

That's your opinion then. I think UN has the best events overall at the moment. Classic used to when it was alive, believe it or not (No, it was not only CTF).

As for UN, I don't know how you can say it is better than before. I tend to think the attitude of the UN playerbase has become worse in recent years. (maybe because of a special guild :asleep:)

UN is like Val in terms of players. There's circles of people with different agendas that alienate/overwhelm/discourage new players. Unlike Val, these circles are accessible, and the server itself actually has content worth taking advantage of, be it sparring or events.

UN is still pretty lame though. Especially when it comes to annoying NPCs, mass messages, sloppy ganis, and eye-candy light effects.

The card game sucked and the quests were unfinished. It was just CTF.

No offense, but I don't see how the playerbase of UN and Val compare as I barely ever notice anybody playing that server.

I meant the events; not the server itself.

I didn't mean Val's recent playercount, but the argument against its playerbase was that they were so xenophobic and unwelcoming. UN's just as bad, but it's easier to become a part of the group

Not really. UN's doesnt attempt to chase you off the server, just the usual noob pking.

tru dat

Come play some N-Pulse events then. Most people I talk to (on UN and otherwise) agree that N-Pulse has the best (and most well made).

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.

I didn't see where Mystic said UN has good events, but they're actually pretty bad/bland/uncreative. The ones that are unique are badly made. They just have a sloppy, generic feel to them, and look like hardly any effort was involved in their creation.

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.
