Hubworld: Ideas to help Graal

[ryu_no_bishie]

obviously whoever manages this server cant be a jackass and definatly needs to understand that this is a hub world, for players to meet, screw around, and ultimatly, go play on a server, im cautious about corruptness spreading through such a server as it is crutial for every player,

perhaps the server could opperate on a different higharchy, giving a Gmap for a manager to edit and add things to specified folders to it and that would be about it. but this would mean that the players npcs couldnt conflict with the other servers, and beleive me, they are going to want to be flashy this is where that new player looks at all the stuff and goes "i pick that one"

a way to limit a players control over only certain areas of the gmap would be ideal, although a head manager that kick backed and made sure no one messed up the others levels in a nutruel way would also work.

Could give them super-limited RC though...they can upload graphics and ganis into one subfolder, they can use your in-game editor on one level only...

Or Stefan can just finnaly accept my proposal to allow savelines() and loadlines() to work with gifs and pngs

Oh but I don't think you know what the Managerment of Graal is evolving into... It will become stable in non-corrupt...just you wait ;o

As a global server, it'd need a global staff. Official-style. But you're right; no matter who's in charge, someone'll test the limits, get in trouble, and insist they shouldn't have been punished for only - say - calling people "Wiggers" and "Yazis", as it's not TECHNICALLY the N-word or the Other N-Word.

Ideally, yeah, laid back. Set up a map, make a few quests to get the newbies warmed up, then just take updates as servers constantly retile their own gateways. And/or script it for 'em, like Zokemon said.
