Some Ideas I had that I thought might help GK get "on the road again" and maybe attract new players, or return some of the old players who left.
GK right now is not even a game... You just log on, kill monsters forever and level up, and thats it... there's not really a point to play. Even if you do the quests, you just get a gold key so that you can gain stats and kill more.. There should be real reasons to play.
a. There could be NPCs that walk around towns, roleplaying as a member of that town. There could also be people who walk around kingdom islands, with RP names of the island they are on. It would atleast bring some more life to the world. Also, these people could ask for "favors" like telling you to take a note to a friend of theirs, or telling you to bring back a bodypart in return for some money or something, maybe some cool items..
b. Yes, you can get very strong - but why? Maybe there could be new islands that have very large monsters on them, and you can kill them to get a lot of experience.... yes, that sounds just like continueing GK though, but what would help is if these monsters dropped rare minerals, very valuable minerals that could be used to craft special items if you have enough of them. And the minerals could add special effects to the weapon, for example, "Nimble Diamond Dagger -of blessing-".. this being a dagger made from more valuable diamonds (which already exist) but with a speed mineral added for an extra boost of speed..
There are some things that can be done to make Graal Kingdoms look more professional, and more pleasing to look at!
a. The characters can move in 8-Directions, so why aren't there 8-directional body sprites? Sure it would be a lot of work, but it would also be a very-well needed improvement to Graal.. Not just for GK..
b. Smoother ganis and more sprites to make the action look better..
- c. A lot of the overworld is just emptiness. This is probably because it is so small, there's only so many additions you could make to it! The overworld could probably easily gain many more islands ON THE MAIN MAP with more towns, and maybe even more environment monsters.
Some things in general that would make Graal better..
- a. A FAQ, or a staff crew who could answer questions and help people. I'm not saying people who run around giving out weapons and being all 'uberleet stafforized', maybe just normal players with special tags so that people know they can help. (On GK)
- b. An english-speaking technical support crew, of more than 2 people that is able to help people out on the forums and on graal, it's ridiculous how many times I will see someone of high rank on Graal who can barely speak english.... Most of the playerbase are english! Communication is very important.
- c. Make Graal look more friendly for new users?
- d. A lot of the playerworlds are not worth playing, and are just your basic "two minute quest-spree" and then it's over. I know you can't compress these all into a single world, but something should be done.. I can probably name only two non-gold playerworlds that have any potential!
These are just some ideas, and also some suggestions I guess. It really makes me sad how much potential Graal has, but it is being held back! There should be many players on Graal, I enjoy it much more than that mmorpg with the initials of "R.S."... But R.S. has many more players than Graal.. Graal has no way of advertising that I know of, though... And I don't think there is a "30 day full trial" |
