Wonder why

greggiles · #1 08-05-2011, 03:31 AM

i wonder why there is no successful server that uses a custom body system and takes a step outside the usual "graal feel"
ive seen a few that looked pretty nice, but then never seen them again

opinions?

Probably because there are only four or five successful servers right now.

Keep in mind that both Kingdoms and Zone have custom bodies, and in the past they both had very high playercounts.

Graphics take a lot of effort. Sprites take even more. Animation even more so. Then you have the problem that with online play, players like to look different so you have to add customization which means MORE sprites. No one here is getting paid. Do the math.

I admire your motivation and goals, Graal needs people like you. However, I'd suggest trying to get access to Testbed before actually renting a server, if that is what you're planning. Making a server is hard work and requires a lot of hours. You should try it before renting one, so you don't feel that you've wasted your money afterwards

If the Testbed was still around, of course.

o.o I've never received any PMs from you, so ease up on the language as I don't see a use for it. :/
