no, the levels I liked best are the pre-tyhm levels, which had all of the heart quests. of course there is a lot of cool stuff from later, which could be added in addition. but it doesnt matter much now

ok, it just seemed that you and maybe other classic staff think that I'm attacking them, otherwise the argument wouldn't have developed so far.
i just want to say that I am not.

As far as concerning the server, how could "reupload the 2000 Classic levels" not be? (albeit Graal2000 was a flop, and was made in the first place to prove Tyhm's point)

reupload doesn't mean to replace your server. could have a separate one.
Graal1998 and Graal2000 were almost designed in a way that would make them flop, maybe because tyhm wanted to prove his point. graal1998 was a too-early version and had in-game cheat codes that messed gameplay. the server changed to Graal2000 mostly after most people already left and the controls were handed to a bunch of silly new guys who started changing it in a completely unrelated direction (they even wanted to add jobs)
a real graal2000 that continues development could have been successful.

Then you would still have the problem of it being harder to maintain while adding new features to the game.

there weren't many accepted standards, but I think the lack of restrictive standards actually had benefits. it turned the game into more unique, wild, maybe with its own personal charm.

what I want doesn't really matter anymore. it's probably too late, and i no one will do anything neway. so I'm not trying to start endless arguments about it. but reminiscing nostalgia is still fun.
