- It would cost tons of MY money to buy servers to run at home, and a T1 line needed for the game, or buy remote servers and pay monthly charges for them.
- I would get harrassed by Graal players telling me my game is a Graal ripoff.
- I would get discouraged if I get stuck on a programming problem and quit the project.
- I want to make the best playerworld Graal has ever seen.
- I also want to set a standard for pw's to come. Once an excellent quality playerworld has been released, people will think twice about the half-as*ed playerworld they want to submit.
There are my reasons. I'm sure SoulBlade can vouch for a few of those reasons anyway. Sure, I would love to own my own online game and profit from it or whatever... Maybe once I have saved some money, and I have ran Oasis for a while, I might consider moving on to my own online game project. But there are WAY too many amateur online rpgs being made that will never finish. (especially the ones made in Visual Basic for crying out loud)
