UN uses this when they host their spar tourneys.

Personally, I find this rather funny. This certainly causes more server lag, though I guess in theory it would be better for the sparrers.

One thing I think the Graal Olympics need is some new-theme events.

For example, Era will probably fail at most of the events since it is a modern server, and those are classic-themed events. Especially sparring.

It WAS better for the sparrers, period. There were too many people around the arena.

Well, then I guess it should be done.


I'd be willing to help script any events/anything else needed as well if you need help.

The difference between most servers are mainly setting, generally the gameplay is the same. Other than sparring which is a Graal classic, the events are going to be pretty fresh in design as stated in the first post. The theme will remain consistent instead of say, jumping from a Classic setting into an Era modern, then hopping over to a Graal Kingdoms style event, then back to the Classic setting, it would be too confusing and all over the place.

Yeah I was thinking of letting the servers pick their respective colors, and maybe having matching outfits for those that were in the teams. The spectators would get a choice of outfit, and the option to pick which server they're from. I thought about maybe giving out a flag weapon that people could wave around when the players chose their server, but it would be hard to represent a server in a little flag image.
