Ideally: Blend G2K1 and Classic. They were never distinct enough to allow for them both existing independantly (and I've long felt G2K1 was initially Antago's Classic, his attempt to prove Tyhm's a big doodie-head and given his druthers - and exclusive access to Stefan - he could make a MUCH better server), so why not just combine them? Two continents, one server. Two starting points, two starting quests, whatever.
As for whether NewbieWorld should be mandatory, and whether HubWorld should utterly replace the serverlist, it's debatable. I think it'd be spiffier if players hit Start and walk out of a warp on the Hubworld, then press F8 if they wanna skip the social aspect of walking through Hubworld and just get to Era...

Exactly.

I dunno about Genius complexity, but thanks for your support.
I respect the thought that Graal could use another Official Genre instead of an Official Hallway. We're all looking at a blueprint of a mall, say - there's a Zelda store, a Better Zelda store, a Harvest Moon/Zelda store, a Matrix/Zelda store, a D&D Zelda store, a Star Wars store, a German Zelda store - I say all these Zelda stores should have a common (enclosed) hallway so people will actually meet up, instead of just being storefronts bordering the parking lot. And there should be an Intro Zelda Store, a main entrance for people who've never visited our Mall before.
But some people say what it really needs is another anchor store: A Metroid/Megaman store, a Contra/Metal Gear/Bionic Commando store, a Castlevania/Kid Icarus store, an Ice Climbers store, a Kirby/Bubble Bobble store, a Mario/Sonic the Hedgehog store, a Mario Kart/F-Zero store, etc. They're not wrong, it's just a question of priorities - I feel that while we'd all like to make a new direction for Graal (and we'd all like to have Stefan on staff building new script commands to make it possible, and we'd all like to manage said server, and we'd all like said server to be either Gold or Official or maybe even Stickied), I don't think it's going to solve player retention once and for all. Kingdoms and Zone were new directions too, once - then they bent towards the common denominator to try and draw people off similar servers. It's like politics, everyone gravitates towards the swing-voters in the center.
