I also miss 2001 as it was during that year (the same time P2P was madatory to keep playing) And i really enjoyed it, i just wonder if the dollshop and hat shops could have been updated at least once a month, although a few hats every month doesn't seem like alot it's still a monthly update.
And possibly making more areas to explore WITH enemies, sure they were a bit tough but that's what large groups were for, that was insanely fun going through the ruins multiple times with 30 or so friends just to finish a quest, then going though it a lot more to help others that didn't finish it, fun times.
It's so sad to see all the fantastic new things you have planned and for it to take such a long time to finish it, after many long months of not playing graal i still have hope that i'll get to see the few old servers everyone claims to be working on. (bomy moon and classic)
