Website Updates: Ideas to help Graal
|
My ideas are getting buried in the Lifetime Classic thread, so I'll start a few new ones.
Website Updates
Purpose: to show prospective players (and prospective upgraders) that Graal isn't dead.
Options: The halloween costume contest would go great with this. Someone said fanart contest, also good. Either some admin everyone trusts, or many admins that are generally trustworthy, should be able to put up news, and should be expected to. Possibly global event admins can use it, and can give away upgrades as prizes the way Unixmad used to.
Expansion: As long as we're editing the website, do we want to move all the worlds to their own links? I mean, the Kingdoms theme is nice, but I'd rather see Graal treat itself as a development platform that loves Kingdoms than the Kingdoms game with some player-made mods you can also download.
Requires: Someone to dust off the Website Admin Password and give out a login or two, the webmaster (is he still here? Tux? Hey, he's on my ICQ, how 'bout that?) should handle any heavy lifting...
Once upon a time graal.com was my homepage. I don't bother anymore, it never updates. I'm sure I'm not alone in this: Unixmad and Stefan announce new tech here instead of there, whereas once they'd post the link here for us to see it there. That was the better way of doing things, we can't expect newbies to troll through the forums to find out whether or not they want to bother trolling through the forums...
Since I doubt anyone's going to say updating is a BAD idea, let's discuss the "gritty-nitty": Should it be Kingdoms-centric, or should Kingdoms have its own "Fan"site same as everyone else? Should it be redesigned at considerable cost and effort, or is updating it going to be enough? Does anyone still have trouble with the Flash? Should each server get to post their own news on it, or should it be global news and events only? This is our Best Foot, let's proudly put it Forward. |
