PlanetOscar is just really nicePlanetOscar is just really nice
However, correct me if I'm wrong but isn't it considered Graal property once it's been uploaded? and not Graal2k1? So as long as Graal is okay with it, I doubt anything will change good luck tho

Are you serious or is this this thread a nice parody for christmas? Not that funny tho :O

Some thoughts: G2K1 was once one of the few official server projects and was abandoned shortly after the success of Kingdoms. Let us assume, that everyone should stop using that content. What is the consequence? Should everyone also stop using Classic Heads, Tiles and Sprites? Should people be forbidden to create classic styled playerworlds?

Another good example. Aren't these the tiles currently distributed for "normal" use?
Sorry - G2k1 was no "Player"world back then, but rather official Graal content and has influenced the following Playerworlds in many ways - Graphics, Gameplay and so on.

If you created new content and someone would steal that, I would fully agree with your demand to take that down, but you are talking about content that is ~15 years old? You cannot turn back time - and finally - we are having other problems at the moment. I doubt that your playercount is being limited by mean Playerworlds that greedily steal G2K1 Content....

IMO the graphics never belonged to Graal2001. They were premium content, to be used by servers that were P2P before the whole thing was mandatory. Once P2P was required the whole thing went public domain so to say. I don't think that is what some of the artists intended when they created the graphics however, maybe they should have the right to dictate their use, or maybe they lost their rights to the images once they were uploaded.

ya thats kind of how i see it, but at the end of the day the server died and disappeared for like 10+ years, the whole point of BI was to use new assets.

I get what you're saying, but it's not accurate. You act like there were no shared assets. How about the entire map for starters. Also no one gave koni any sort of permission to reupload the server. koni's assets now belong to Graal2001 (they were also released publicly for use by anyone), not the other way around. It's been the case since around 2010, since you like bringing up the fact that copious amounts of time have gone by (which is irrelevant-- what's the difference between 5 days and 15 years? it's still stolen content).

People stealing our content for 15 years is testament to my point, not yours. How many times do I have to say this? The longer amount of time the content has been abused doesn't make it any more okay.

Furthermore I guess I will have to say this again for the third time: obviously my goal here is not to ban other servers from using g2k1 content, but I want to make the staff of those servers aware of the fact that it's not original content and ask them to please make their own. I am aware that g2k1's hats were distributed to these servers in a time when they were lacking the talent 2k1 had, but that is no longer the case and in 2016 it's just lazy.

Exactly. I can't make anyone stop using their graphics but I am only asking them to stop using them out of respect for the history of Graal. But once again, apparently I'm a bad guy and the strawman version of my argument is to be taken seriously.

If you guys look closer I'm literally suggesting an easy way for Graal to adopt higher standards of quality and integrity (without help from the MIA global admin team). It's fun watching the same people whine about it who would benefit.

BTW I have been working on new hats since day 1, and have already made multiple hat shops. I will have at least 15 to begin releasing either weekly or monthly when the server goes hosted. These comprise of new hats (thank Xiaoguard), remade G2K1 original hats, and hats that were made for koni's project and never used. Here's a preview sample, nothing you see here is final:

how is it stolen, the owner of the server/creator of the game allowed other servers to use g2k1's assets

No permission was given by the creator of the content or any manager of the server. Also 2k1 has been treated as a playerworld when it's convenient to fit the narrative, and then treated as a main server when it fits the narrative. Which is it? My argument is rock solid while the naysayers have an elastic argument.
