i think it is worth it, but for different reasons because i think graal is done best in 2d. it stands alone as a 2d online game, and does a fairly good job graphic-wise. all it needs is one good playerworld with depth and a degree of newb friendlyness. to keep the newbs in, and the olbies coming back. The market is flodded with playerworlds now due to its low low price, it would be hard to start now. right now you would be doing all the work yourself. its only until youve worked long and hard for 5-6 months that people will see your work and want to help out. and obviously most people arent willing to make that kind of commitment, or they dont realize it at the time. even after you will have to do most of it yourself. they just dont realize how much work it requires to finish it. especially a server that deviates from the classic style gameplay, which i think is necessary to even stay on the classic tab. classic referring to s=sword, quest for hearts server. and dont imitate a server's style. even if you do the job better, it wont matter much. i see it with the gun servers, and you have all seen it happen on classic servers. Shaded Legend is just a better quality server overall, but since UN has done it already, and keeps the players comfortable, it wont be the breaktrhough all the develoopers hoped. and for crying out loud make some sort of introduction to your server. the last thing you want to do is pop them into the middle of a town without a clue. your first impression is key to your success. When you debut, sure everyone will come to check it out. But why will they stay? certainly not to walk around 500 levels and massing questions about what to do. hold the players hand as soon as they sign on. its your job to make them interested in your playerworld. show them around until they feel comforatble with the server. Im just dissappointed at the lack of impact the latest debut PW's had. I want to see someone change that server list around. Just beause your staff doesnt work, your the only one on RC, or your progress isnt going fast enough doesnt mean you should throw in the towel and quit. of course its easy, but you developers just need to stay strong through the hard times and keep working. Use your creativity and give the graal community something they never saw before.
excuse my spelling errors and lack of the shift key. |
