The tileset would be changed of course... I said all new graphics, but still with the classic feel. Just done better. The reason I made updates to the original tileset was because Graal needed to not look as much like the game it evolved from. This was many years ago and of course I don't really think the tileset is that great anymore. I never even expected my tile changes to be used as the default.
I don't just mean a bare server with the default stuff. I mean an improved version of old Graal. I'm not blaming anyone, and I realize I played a part in the evolution of Graal, and by no means am I saying it is terrible. I'm just saying I'd like to see a classic "type" server. Not just a classic server. I'm aware there are many servers with the classic tileset and stuff.
There would be new scripting involved sure. What I'm trying to say is I'd like to see a simple to play server, with clean well done graphics, and fun events and concepts... that don't involve the player needing to devote 10 hours a day to keep up with everyone. This doesn't mean people would rarely play, it just means people can play without having to worry so much about getting certain items or making sure they have maxed out stats and whatnot.
There are online games you can just jump in and play at any time, which are fun and are good ways to kill an hour or two when you're tired of slugging away at some massive online rpg. That's basically the concept I'm trying to explain. The fun experiences I had, had nothing to do with the fact I was playing for free, or my age at the time of playing, or who was playing at the time. It was the simple fact that I could log in, spar a bit, maybe pk a little... see guilds of people all around (actually PARTICIPATING in the guild they are in). It was more about a fun community that was oriented towards seeing who had the best swordplay. It was heavily guild oriented as well.
I think that is why Unholy Nation has been so successful. Though again, I don't mean just using all the old graphics and default engine. That is totally not the idea. Like I said, it's like Mario graduating to Super Mario. Everything gets a facelift. All the crucial stuff that made it fun would return and be even better.
Sorry if I don't reply much to this, my gold account is expired and I think I only get 3 posts a day? |
