Heh, didnt even think of that. Chain Lightning and Crystal Rain were two unreleased spells that Yen made, and the other two were made by Twinny.

But like, that would be like saying you cant name something "Cure" just because Final Fantasy is using it.

Well I think thats different. Healing spells only do one thing really, that being heal you. Offensive spells can do so many different things. Chain Lightning for example is something that seems to be taken straight out of the Warcraft series of games. Cure or Heal is something thats in almost every game so that players don't get frustrated fighting that one annoying boss.

Chain Lightning appears in Warcraft games, every damn Forgotten Realms game (Neverwinter Nights, Baldurs Gate, Icewind Dale etc.) and surely A LOT of other games. So?

I made dispell/purge and I have never played WoW before. Since you made this post, you must consider WoW to be completely original. Definitely can't have dungeons, combat, magic or quests since they were totally made by WoW. *COUGH*. You are now part of the group of players that piss me off constantly.

Sorry guys, you now have to make every word on Zodiac unique since they exist in the English language! We can't have orcs or elves since they were in WoW LOLOLOLZORS. Hmm...can't have humans since that is a take on real life....we shall call them Xelcons. Can't have swords since i'm sure they are in WoW....they shall be called Petroths. I think I'm on to something here!!

Just to finish the point: WoW is NOT a shining beacon of originality in the sea of fantasy games. If you think otherwise, please promptly throw yourself into a barbed wire fence.

I agree with you twinny, I agree that the names are in the english vocabulary.. it's just that they have the same name and do the same stuff as in for example WoW..

for example what Talon meant was the for example Chain Lightning in Zodiac has the same effects in WoW, that's all.. I'm not blaming Zodiac or something but I think some of the spells/effects etc.. could be redone

So.. I pretty much agree with Talon, but in another view of what he meant; What the spells/skills do. They do the same things in both/several games, its just that..

If I got this wrong, then ignore me ;o

Wrong. The one on Zodiac has an AoE range, while the one on WoW is.. chainish.

I hate WoW, Twinny. I'm just pointing this out because a lot of people DO play WoW and are going to point out that many things on Zodiac are also in WoW. I'm not saying that WoW is the original creators of these spells and weapons either. All I ask is it would be nice to see some of your own original spells instead of ones that are already in other games. No need to be indecent and sarcastic. I'm just throwing down some ideas.

You guys are arrogant. Graal isn't large enough to be worrying about what you call some stupid spell.

thats what some thought about calling graal "zelda online"...

I really just don't understand why every great server gets so much **** about taking stuff from other games. Who cares? Look at the game the server is hosted on.. are you gonna tell me it didn't take anything from Zelda? Be proud that there is even a fun server on Graal and stop worrying about if it's original or not. I mean how can you really even be original with stuff like this? What hasn't already been one? "Toenail Blade"? Who's gonna do THAT?

DustyPorViva · #29 08-30-2007, 04:42 AM

Graal did not take anything from Zelda!

Because Chain Lightning, Purge and Dispel are most certainly not classic RPG spells seen on almost any true fantasy rpg... Learn your damn D&D.
