This wonderful game...

No, thank you.

Only one playerworld? How the hell can we develop? There are way too many developers on Graal to work on one or two projects.

And how can developers get better? They won't be hired on these servers unless they are awesome, and since soon we will most likely have to use the internal level editor, there will be nowhere for them to practice. And what about scripting?

Plus, we lost all our variety. Look at Era, look at Zone, look at Zodiac, even look at GK. They all have a completely different gameplay. If we just had a single server, we'd be killing off all the other possibilities of the game.

And yes, one world means Cyberjoueres would lose money since there would only be one subscription, especially since they must keep respecting lifetime classic subscriptions. If there is only one world which is considered "gold" then everyone is losing their classic subscriptions, which could get them in trouble, since they were always promised unlimited access to classic servers, which there now are none.

And if we brought the gelat system over, then we're basically having staff-sponsored USDing. One of the best things about Graal is that you don't have to have a lot of money to get good. I can log on to UN, get my hearts of course, then go to the spar and beat someone with 2000 hours and a good spar rating with my 1 and a half hours. If we have the gelat system on all the servers, then there is no way to balance out the economy. Plus, look at the general opinion of Zone's gelat system as it stands.

That isn't what he meant. He meant that when you go to sign on, everyone signs onto the same level. From that level, you can walk through a warp to different servers. That way, the one level is like login2 except you walk around and talk to people rather than sit there looking at a list.

I actually think it makes sense.

Oh, I misunderstood him then. I am fine with a more open login server.

I agree with a hub world, when I was new here I opened up the player list (about 9 years ago) and saw classic, I had no idea what that was or how things worked on this game. A hub world should be when you log on you are instantly on the hub world, and from there you can be routed to other worlds.

For those players that know what they want to do and know what server they are going to, there will be an option to disable going directly to the hub world.

I also do not think this hub world should just be a hub world per say. I think it should really be a long introduction to players, with a short storyline, about an hour of game play, and a few events just to show them how graal works. The one thing graal has never done well in my opinion is explain to players what the hell they are doing, honestly. If you log on for the first time and see a bunch of different servers, you are going to think this is like a mini game sort of thing.

And as for classic, I think we should try everything in are power to keep the first server of graal, alive.
