2x scaled graphics

Just about every server to date has used 1x, 'full resolution' graphics on Graal. That is to say that everything is zoomed 100%.

But would you play, or have complaints, about a server drawn at half the size(think Super Nintendo resolution), and scaled up?

I ask this because:
1) the resolution isn't a disservice to graphics at all. You can still create amazing art at lower resolutions.
2) It can be somewhat easier to produce more graphics at that resolution, to try to make graphics in the resolution Graal uses. Why? Because the higher the resolution, the more space you have to fill. That doesn't mean lower resolution is easier, because you have other problems to overcome... NOT having enough space to portray what you want.

Either way, would you have problems with a server using 2x graphics? I think the biggest problem is the unaware may either associate them with 'bad graphics' or immediately think they are stolen(as most 2d graphics ARE stolen from console games, which need to be 2x'd to Graal's resolution).
