I don't think it's necessary to force playerworlds to share scripts. I also think it would be a joke to be able to use content that someone made after they left that wasn't used. If I saw some ***** using my Oasis graphics on his playerworld I'd be outraged.

I think the scripted movement/hit detection/basic stuff would be nice though. It would be nice if it just came with the server rental and was scripted by Stefan or someone close to Stefan so that it came out as efficient and close to the default Graal as possible. It would have helped loads with my 2k1 rebuild. But playerworlds shouldn't have to share, and shouldn't share content at all. Like others have said, classic and 2k1 were official graal servers which kind of aged and lost customers so their content was free for public use.

Really it's up to the manager to decide what to do with the server content should the server fail or die. I definitely don't agree with playerworlds sharing. It's nice to dream about everyone working together for the benefit of Graal/the players, but in reality, everyone is competing with eachother and the last thing I want to do is go and help out a competing server. Especially when it's involving complex scripts that the server manager could never make or find anyone to make for them. Those scripts belong to MY server and that's what makes servers unique.

How far would the sharing go? Sharing graphics? Levels? Ganis? Sound effects? It would get to the point where instead of having 100 private servers that aren't going to make it, we'll have 100 public servers that are all clones of eachother and suck. No thanks!
