You cant get into the classic tab without passing the PWA. People may think well no point in that, just go in Player tab. But if we offer some sort of reward, such as maybe 5MB extra ontop of plan they pay for, AND $x off the price of the plan, it will make it appealing. Also maybe if we limit PAYED 'Player' servers so that there is a lower MAX of players and a limit to unpayed accounts, people will submit via the PWA. By doing this, graal gets:

a) Quality servers to play on
b) Less limitations on servers, if they pass.

And the people submitting will get:

1) More space
2) More players aloud on at once
3) Be in the 'Classic' tab
4) Cheaper Plans

There ya go.
I kinda like that... Although maybe there could be three tabs:

Gold, Silver, Bronze

Gold servers would be cream of the crop servers, like GK or whatever... Silver would be good servers but they aren't as impressive, and bronze would be whatever is left over. If you can make a server that is good enough to go into the Gold category, your server would be nearly the first name they see on the list when they open Graal. (instead of on the 3rd tab halfway down the list)

Then maybe there could be the benefit stuff for each class of server. Like Gold gets to use better servers, a price discount (or more profit for each player they get to upgrade), Silver gets a price discount, and bronze is just the basic package.

I definitely think the better servers should be rewarded. I mean it's a lot of work to make a good playerworld, and the managers aren't getting anything out of it (unless they make profit), but having a faster more reliable server, or having their server listed first, would give these managers more motivation to keep their playerworld good.
