Instead of just updating things "just enough" so that they wouldn't cause legal issues, the whole game should have been updated to the point where it was unique. It's possible to capture the qualities of Graal without making it seem like Zelda.
Yes Googi, it would be blended with some 2k1 elements. Possibly bomy bopots as players or pets... done right. Instead of having too much or too little advantage. But it would still be kept as simple as possible. There would be no kingdoms. Just lots of guilds. Every single graphic would be new. Including the bodies and heads and whatnot. It's kind of how I originally envisioned Oasis, but I took a different road with that, and decided to style it differently.
It wouldn't be a simple 5 minute project. I don't want people getting the idea that I just want to see a bare classic server. Just like Mario Bros isn't exactly like Super Mario Bros. Sure they have the same characters, and the same concepts, and the same principles... but the games cannot really be compared to eachother on the same level.

So then. What you're describing is NewWorld. I'm not sure if you were a part of that project, but thats what they were aiming for. You know what happened to that project? It failed. Doing something like this is far too big for the normal group of developers that would attempt to take it on. This isn't a 1 or 2 man project....it isn't even a 5 or 6 man project. This is more like a 10-20 man project - every man on the team being exceptional.
It won't happen. It would be nice, but it won't happen.
