We will ofcourse make the systems as efficient as possible and try to have a very low CPU usage (or atleast an option to run the events using low CPU).

I remember the sparring had a system where the people that were in the ring were warped to an identical but different level. The spectators would see a kind of "reflection" of them (npc characters or something) so they wouldnt have to be in the same level.

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 would be cool if each server could submit their own banner or something and have team colors?

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.

You could put letters on the flags and have them match the teams color.
"GK,Z,C,E,NP,UN,V"

I don't, I didn't include them or Atlantis.

Then I retract that.
