I'd personally like to be made to look wrong, so don't take it the wrong way. I just don't see Itagaki's very valid philosophy being compatible with graal players/potential players/future players, no matter how appealing it sounds to old/former players who remember it in a way that it will never again be

That was pretty emo. I read this in the voice of Strong Sad from homestarrunner.com.
I'm not using Itagaki's design philosophy, or else there would be boob physics (unless that's what you guys want). I just thought the quote was palpably relevant.
The way you're in constant denial of the sheer possibility that Graal could be fun anymore outside of the tiny box it has become consisting of people idling at a central location reminds me of console fanboys arguing with each other, coming up with arduous logic to use in debate that makes no sense from the perspective of the actual developers. It's sophistry.
I've got a little time so I'll analyze your comment to try and clarify myself.

It seems to me like you just want to say something negative, come on man. You've made a critical assumption in this sentence, and that assumption is that the project isn't even worth your prestigious time of day. That's extremely critical, but please go on:

This is no true scotsman fallacy. Graal2001 is actually a really historic game in the MMO genre, but according to you only certain high budget wankfest games are "real". I don't agree with the way you're looking at video games. Correct me if I'm wrong here, but all video games are real video games, unless they aren't video games.

Okay so I must admit I had to take a breather after laughing at this catastrophic load of masturbatory nonsense. Holy cow man, lay off the abilify.
Using your own definitions for the words good and fun reeeeally demonstrates how playing a server for two weeks would never be worth the effort to you, doesn't it? What are you even saying here? YOU HAVE BEEN PLAYING GRAAL FOR OVER A DECADE. Nice logic bro, you're really getting through to me. I am seeing things for the first time now that you have shown me your ways. Dude I can not stop laughing about this right now, this is absolute gold.

Agreed.

You're not wrong. The stuff you typed is incoherent non-sequitur, it doesn't even make sense.
