Umm, Unixmad's Suggestions Thread Returns

[Tyhm]

Yeah, that's a fair point; but idling on the forums is better than spamming. It's actually better to idle on the forum, as it makes things more lively; if I spend all day trolling and reloading this thread, when somebody asks what I mean I can respond immediately instead of sometime tomorrow, ya?

[Darlene159]

I would really like to see a "store" as I said in the previous thread....where you get like 1 point or coin or whatever per post, and when you get so many you can buy certain things with the points such as a different colored name, the option to change your nick, and whatever other little goodies you can come up with.

Also, some added smilies,,,maybe some fun ones that go with Graal?

Post style? Go into your options and there should be a layout option called old style. If you meant images and such, they're still working on that.

Well, I would definately recommend more PM folder space. Enlarge it for normal users and double that for mods. I try to keep as many as possible archived in there but it gets clogged.

As for stores, pets, things to buy or arcades, I think anything you get points to 'get' in the forums, you should just get. If I am going to spend time in a game gathering funds, it'll be in GK.

It would be cool if there was a dropdown list in the profile for most often played server, that would allow you to show the your online time or in game profile stats for that server to the left of the post, instead of the funky stats we had before. I bet likely not practical, but I think it would be interesting.

There is an option to save them locally.

uploading of signatures, so we won't need those silly hosts

[Loriel]

Because I do not want people to see where I am?

For the forums, it would be bad because people would idle forever.

I ment for the forums.... if you get people idling, then I think they'd post more... I mean, I know if I left the forums window open, I'd be very tempted to just refresh it, and look for new posts... where-as, if it were not open, I wouldn;t have even looked...

1. He wasn't even sure...
2. I Haven't seen anyone else even mention free gold time for anyone... so I'm not even sure if that's true...
3. If Tyhm is right, then the top 10 would get it... not just 1 person. Personally though, I'd rather get a month of VIP time added, and not gold.

[WanDaMan]

Ah, so it was persons. My bad.

We can calculate the active time

I mean that if someone is just on the forums page and don't load anything, we're not counting time, but if he's reading threads or posing replies this is its real online time

I like that idea

also, if this were the old version of the forums, I would agree with the option of giving more storage space in the private pm's, but since it is much easier to save them now, I dont think it is needed.

I also agree that the stats under the avatar that we had before should not be brough back, some other kind of stats put there envolving the game would be nice as was mentioned, maybe top 5 pw's played, or things like that...something interesting

any idea why, when I get a forum PM, and click on it to open in, it will not open? I dont use mozilla, I dont like it...I use the newest version of IE

[Dach]

Drop down menu for ingame stats, I find the clutter as irritating as Loriel does. It's a good idea, but it doesn't need to be shown all the time. And obviously the option to have it not display for all of those people that like to play hide-n-seek (I know where you are )

I like the idea of getting into some kind of turn-based fighting system with the pets, low-key of course. I don't need another thing to waste tons of time with. Using a point system to buy avatar and such would be nice just because we could get away from the post count thing ( )

• Forum time regenerates pets health + magic
• pets use different attacks based on battle exp
  1. physical attacks
  2. magic attacks (fire, ice, thunder, healing, the usual junk)
  3. blocking
• points are earned in battle
  1. earned for successful hits, blocks, and wins
  2. used for purchasing exp for your pet, or avatar, custom title, stuff
  3. lose points and exp (if no points) for losing battles
     1. keep people from staging battles to help each other gain points
     2. lose enough lvls, you lose purchased priveledges (like you bought avatar at lvl 5, you drop to 3, you lose avatar, so you can't just lose it right after getting it)
• dropdown menu on user's name will link you to pet stats and such
  1. Initiate battle with this user's pet
  2. View stats for this user's pet
  3. Add this user's pet to your team

and um, yeah, keep the regular post count requirements for avatar and such for the people who don't want to do the pet thing

[Myukoi]

I choose you, Pikachu!

[Tyhm]

Hmm, I really do like the idea of elemental based attacks for the pets. Makes it much more than a "I sniped a bunch of newbies and got the most powerful weapon straight off the bat, now I can crush anyone!".

I don't like the Lose Stuff idea so much; just an antirep system maybe, you can only duel another player once a month. Be fun if it was a strict duelling system, offers to duel must be accepted so you can't just pick on newbies without teammates...

[Myukoi]

How about marriage and birth for the pets!?

That sounds a bit more acceptable than my idea. I know someone would have to make a thread about losing their avatar . Aslong as you can't just stage battles to help friends gain exp. I thought up all of that within like 5-10 mins, so it's a bit sketchy.

Umm, just pretend that you can do that and we'll all be happy

[--Chris--]

Area in the profile to provide your msn adress

[Myomoto]

How about a little "tax-ticker" or whatever they are called that shows who have posted lately in wich thread, it would be updated once it had been through all new posts? It should run in a seperate window so that you could do something else and then just check it once in a while to see if you got any aswers on your thread, also we need the forum to refresh by it self

[Tyhm]

Heh, a news ticker that constantly types up the latest posts? We have subscribed threads, but that'd work for the subscribeds...

[Dach]

It already does that, atleast in the thread view.

did someone say ticker? http://forums.graal2001.com/forums/s...threadid=24187 doesn't work anymore though

[Myomoto]

hm.. didn't noticed it refreshed itself XD

[Spark910]

A seperate area maybe for these pets, as not to collide with the main forum posts and hog bandwidth etc... hell, to please those complaining it could be VIP only! Then you'd have your VIP Only forums.

[Myomoto]

VIP only pets would suck :[ No fun in wacking people who complain all the time ;O
Besides VIPs have the v 3 preview too...

VIP wasn't designed for playing gold servers, that's what the gold account is for...VIP is perfect for people who dont like Kingdoms, or rarely play it. Also, benefits for VIP are being added, and I'm sure will be added in the future. As spark said somewhere, there was no time frame on when these things would happen with the exception of Graal3D, I believe, so noone should be complaining, noone made anyone upgrade to VIP.
I like VIP because I rarely play Kingdoms, I like the classic graal types, which I can access with VIP, plus the forums, plus when new things come out for VIP, I will have access, plus I can be staff or make a pw if I like. VIP isnt without it's benefits, it's just a different kind of package as it should be....

exept VIP is CHEAPER than Gold, so I don't see why you're complaining
o.o
you want them to add more stuff for a CHEAPER type of account? that makes no sence...

Also, Moonie ment that new things are being added for VIP, which were not in the origional plans... so you can't say you've been waiting for them, since you never even knew about them to begin with... (like the webhosting)

I don't want them to add anything, I'd rather just pay and get what I orderd, which is so blindless of you to see.

Once again, I'd rather have the old plans and get them out of the way then have the new crap. That's for playerworlds only I believe?, anyways what would I do with a website? o.o
