These days died along with the playercount. There actually was some incentive back then, and it was being able to say that your guild was better then another. Nobody cares enough nowadays with the playercount so low.

I don't know about Classic...it's no longer 2000 and Zelda: A link to the Past is no longer only 10 years old but rather almost as old if not older than the average Graalian. Games have come a long way and sitting around doing nothing does get boring after a while. With competing gameplay styles from Era and Zodiac, I don't see how a server like Classic can survive without "modernizing" itself (which is kind of what Graal 2001 did...except in 2001 LOL).

I'm not sure why we're struggling with recreating something that once was.

Human nature is to cling to the happy times of our past. Memories fade though and forget the bad, they only remember the good.

Probably, because much like Graal, there is absolutely no reason all that Classic was should go to waste -- there is plenty of potential to turn it into something nice.

Just recreate the original material?
You can't call it classic if it's not classical.

change it to graal the adv. then. And i dont think all the levels need to be the same to call it classic.

True but it doesn't change the fact that I still feel 2001-2002 were my best times on Graal, with 2000 being when I started. There were a lot more players then and the serverlist changed much more constantly than it does today.

From what I've been able to tell, though, you can mostly-ignore it for a lot of scripts, can't you? Use it only when it's actually needed for a script... you don't need NPC server for something that walks at the closest player, for /signposts/, etc. >_>

Anyway, let me toss this out there: I'm not an expert with any of the tools. I'm willing to help out in whatever little ways I can, though.

... Unless you try to turn it into another "RPG-style" server with levels and armor and crap. Then I'm going to turn around and never come back, because honestly, there are games that do that sort of thing better than any of the Graal-based things, for my pocket calculator.

Signs are actually serverside too, meaning they use the NPC-server :P Really, it's silly to want to build a server without the NPC-server.

Some people just want to be rebels for rebel's sake I guess.
