While the owner is still the same, its under new management and they've been working hard to correct its past reputation.

I think the management of Graal Ghetto should buy their own server, It would give the server itself a way better chance.. And if i were them i would change the servername too.

From what i can tell, these 2 servers suck.
But you can also help them out by telling them what sucks so they can improve/change things.

The owner of the content hasn't changed though so that wouldn't work.

those developers should move onto projects where originality is taking place, rather than a new version of what is already out. waste of talent otherwise

I've seen Graal Ghetto's scripts so I know I can't expect much from them and their rep doesn't make me want to visit.

I gave Zenox a visit, and became frustrated within minutes of slow walking (I personally hated the movement system) and passing a newbie course which gave me an item that I couldn't even use. Explored the GMAP (which looked like it was whipped together really fast and had apparent use of the path tool) but I had no idea where to go, then I stumbled upon a dungeon of level 5 and 12 baddies whom proceeded to kill me.

The way it displayed damage and so on was neat, but was barely readable.

They've got their work set for them

I just checked out Zenox as well-

Interesting, but the movement completely ruins the game.

Nataxo · #23 10-01-2009, 03:13 AM

C'mon guys, lets give Graal Ghetto a chance, I'm sure they're working on more things than just a copy from Era...

logged on GG, killed by a staff with Katana, logged off, look great to me.

Well said, i'd def agree with that.

Well the thing is, apparently previews are not meant to really show off much but to gather help. Alpha testing, if you will.

I think that the previews will provide both constructive criticism and potential developers for the server.

Naturally, the amount of criticism received and amount of developers received will be related, to a certain point.

This is precisely correct. Not everybody will agree with the servers, but that is no different to one person wanting to favour 1 of the classic servers over another. Criticism is openly welcome and public opinion, not just developer contribution, will greatly improve their ability to find and fix what people want fixed.

Graal Ghetto is just a worse version of Era IMO. The tileset looks like its just a re-painted version of Era. And like what was stated earlier they call it "Graal Ghetto" and yet it looks nowhere near what an actual ghetto looks like.

I also logged onto Zenox and wasn't impressed in the slighest. The tileset itself looks nice from first glance but the OW looks like it was thrown together at the last minute. And also like what has been stated the movement on the server is very slow and at the begining you're hitting the guys for 1 HP and they're slapping you down for 3 HP. Normally in an RPG, which is what I felt like they were going for, you are supposed to hit harder than the NPC. You have less HP than the NPC but at the same time you are stronger.

Zenkou mini maps for inside levels was pretty neat
