Welcome to York Town
 

Welcome to York Town, the newest area in the world of Graal Classic. Here you'll find a quiet coastal town that has been forced into an unfortunate battle against invading forces. One of the more malevolent foes--the Pyrats--can be seen pushing their assault on the town as we speak. Even with it being under constant attack however, York Town still manages to provide a lot of unique features for its visitors, for example:

• Daily Quest System
  
  Aid from visiting heroes is always welcomed at York Town, especially now that the Pyrats have surfaced. Talk to Jagain who will provide tasks and tell you how you can be of use to the town. These quests can be done once a day, and you may be seeing a lot more of them coming up in the future.

• Shared Mounts
  
  Being on the coast, York Town has a lot of different comings-and-goings from the sea. One of these visitors is the giant turtle, who just-so-happens to fit two players on their backs. Once you've bought one of these big guys you'll be able to invite other players to join you. Ride off together into the sunset, if you're into that kind of thing.

• Horce Racing
  
  In addition to their bigger mounts, York Town specializes in horse racing events. This event can be set off by a member of staff and players are to complete the course as fast as possible. There are many different routes you can take, but some will lead you to a dead end. The fastest player to reach the finish line will be rewarded with a gralat prize each time.

• New Guild Tower
  
  Every good town needs its own guild tower, and York Town is no exception. This tower is a lot different from all of the current places you can take over though, and when you visit you'll see exactly how different. However, even with the new features the tower still has that familiar gameplay to go with it, and shouldn't be too foreign for all of those tower fanatics out there.

• And of course.. Shops
  
  If you've been dragging your screen lately, you'll have noticed that York Town has a few different stalls that sell various items. A lot of new hats are on sale, and one stall includes a Phoenix transform.

Hope you enjoy it!

Not bad. Glad to see new content being put out. The daily quest system seems awesome(easy 500 gralats a day!). I hope there will be more daily quests across the map.

The new fort is certainly different but seems fun. Glad its there because with 6 forts taking and holding one was incredibly difficult. Had 8 people yesterday and couldn't hold mod more than 6 mins lol.

horse racing is really glitchy but still fun.

haven't tried the 2 person mounts, I'm going to have to farm for a while to try it.

Damn, well done. It's been quite a while since something of this much effort has been injected into the classic gameplay. I'll definately be heading on soon to check this out.

Its great! I love it! But two things. The mount should DEFINETLY be lowered to at least 25k? 50k is quite a lot to ask for... And also I cant complete the quest? I talked to the guy and go the 5 Eyepatches but nothing happened and now he just has a question mark over his head? Any help? But great job!

tap him/click him then click finish and you'll collect 500 gralats. You will have to wait another 24 hours after that for another quest.

In most MMO's a "!" exclamation points represents an available quest and a "?" question mark represents a finished one ready to be turned in.

Nice, you have proved us haters wrong....for now :)

Edit: just went around and looked for a bit. This is a nice update, even if it is long overdue. It adds a fairly large area. I like the whole "beach, bayside, market town" feel since there is no other town like it. It has it's own unique atmosphere. The new fort is cool too, its like a little militia outpost. It's probably the most creative "tower" by design. I got that old sense of discovery and exploration as when I first started playing. Everything about this update is great :)


The only thing that doesn't seem right is the outside cave entrance tiles, looks a bit sloppy.

THIS IS AMAZING! Loving the new tower and all the new features. With that guy who does the quest, do you get to do all the quests or will you miss out on some if you dont go there for a day

First of all I'd like to Thank You Azrael for finally pushing that map update through. I tried for so long but it got stuck at stefan somehow.

And I think the new town got great. Still a bit buggy (for example swords are allowed inside, and the cave/outside-warp-tiles are weird(at summer home)) But thats all gonna change (I hope) and I am personally very happy that we finally have a new town with a quest system and a double-ride.

The tower looks great from the outside, though the inside is a bit unlogical (Wooden tower=Outside; Earth walls and green gras = inside) Its new and its fun to walk around there. I gonna check out the guild-only-tent soon, I just have to let my connections play^^ But I am sure it looks great :D
The only thing not that great about the tower is the thing that it is so far away. You may ride to trainstation or unstuck and walk there. But after you passed 2000hours-Zone you have to walk a really long way to the tower. I hope they gonna do something about that^^(like adding tracks)

I personally like the pyrates. It's fun to fight em, like baddies, and to collect their stuff. Maybe expand their island a bit or remove a few of them cause sometimes 5 were chasing me at once. And put something in the tent to collect or for a quest. Now its just there and nothing important inside (maybe I just didnt see it^^)

But all in all it's a great new feature. It will make alot of players happy....for a while. Maybe add a spar (maybe even an outside spar, if possible). All are satisified. Towertakers, Pkers, Baddy-Killers but not the spar guys. Do something for them too^^

And one more thing. Only because you added a new Town dont think you can be lazy the rest of the year ;) Stay as passionate as you are right now and Graal wont lose many players and it will be the best App, which iTunes has ever seen.

Oh and by the way.... How about hiring some more active LAT's^^ I know some very gifted are trying really hard to catch your attention^^

* claps * FINNALY

Bushtown? :,(

I'll be trying this once my iPod starts working again >.>

How to get in horse race :c

Please have the players on the FB version welcome aswell rather than the old "Admin zone" warps. Yet I can´t say anything about it :/

Thanks for the compliments folks. I've been working my tail off on this for some time now, but there are a lot of other people that I have privately thanked for lending a major hand in this project.

Pking in buildings has been fixed.

I will see if I can get someone to look at the Admin warp zones on Facebook as soon as possible.

After checking this on my iPod I thought it was really funny. The little quest was funny aswell even though I took the items from the other players baddies :P but while that I realized that you will get warped to the towers "death spawn" after dying in that tent (the one below the missions starter point). Maybe that can get fixed.

In all I really like it and hope to see more improvements and maybe a new hours zone. After the new "horses" are so expensive and you seem to like high numbers there could be finally a 10k hours zone :D

I hope that further mini quests will be great aswell and I cant wait for them :P Ill also update my RPS Guide soon with the new RPS guy (or at least spam Rufus)

Thanks!

Overpriced Panda Mount is overpriced!!!
But still: the whole York town and 2-person mounts an excellent addition to iclassic :)

@Az: Can you please fix the use of Weapons in the entrance of the Horse Contest thingy. Pkers stand at the end of the track and slash in on the horse riders while theiy havent even finsihed the race. Also pkers block the path in the city with swords. Really annoying to go through. And 100k Gralats is a bit overpriced, dont you think? Also add rules to the race (didnt see any) and I heard that you have to stand still if you want the race to start. If this is true you only need one guy who wants to annoy anyone and he will ust run and run. Maybe make it like spar/archery range where you have to press a button and maybe 12 may race at the same time.
Also fix the second and thrid place because I only saw the winner not the other two^^

The Horse Race has got to be updated to smooth out some stuff.

I no-PKed the horse race entrance and the track so this should be fixed.

Nice catch @ Callimuc, fixed now! You'll respawn where you die in the Pirate tent.

Edit; Also, I don't set the pricing on stuff. I apologize if you folks think it's a tad too high, but I don't choose those things.

Azrael, could you put a 2 flags between each checkpoint as in an indicator so we know the checkpoint? My race restarted a couple of times because of this... Also, is it possible for the client side that the current checkpoint gets lighted up so we can know which is the next checkpoint?

Just an improvement i came up with for the Horse race

Fantastic work, well done.

I am speaking with Stefan on trying to improve it. I was under the impression that most people would follow the dirt path. However, most players haven't seemed to figure that out yet :P. "WHERE DO I GO?!?!"...you follow the path. Haha.

Great work. This was well needed and sought after by many. Hopefully it will re-engage iClassic players and encourage users to become more active with these daily quests. A job well done.

Edit: There is a slight issue with the cave/tunnel. Many users are stuck off te path and are forced to untstick. Surely a warp area could be added??!

Won't let me turn in the quest, I got 5 eyepatches

very nice and long awaited update <3 Keep it up!

I like Chelt's idea of an outdoor spar.

Error?
I didn't really know if this is a tile error, something on my client not loading, or just an "odd" style.

I got my iPod working again and checked out York Town. I love it! Excellent work Azrael and the iClassic Staff Team! I hope to see more great updates like this :)

This is probably going to be one of my favorite towns. Nice interactivity, cheap hats, daily quests, more baddies, fun things to do. Ya you know. Thanks for all the hard work put into this iStaff. I am starting to like you again.

Awesome! Although the map needs to be slightly extended so that the guild picture and name on the new fort isnt cut off...

Whoa, weren't all these things suggested by players... But that means...no it can't be... Staff listen to player suggestions :o

I noticed the same thing in other levels, I think someone forgot to upload an image :rolleyes:

By the way, awesome job on the two mounts Trigger! Keep the good graphics comin' buddy.

Agreed, that really bugs me

As mayor of Onnet town and now York Town as well, I would like to welcome everybody to our humble new town, all I ask is that these hoodlums stop shedding blood in the city limits, it's a nuisance to many and slows down the economy.

All hail reyalS lord of cities.

Nice catch, fixed, thanks.


Side note; the Map will *hopefully* be fixed in the near future. Waiting for Stefan to fix this one and he's got a lot on his plate atm.

Great update :D
I tried to find the new content on my ipod but I have no idea where how to get to the mainland haha.
From what i've seen on the forums it looks fantastic :)

the 2 mount panda and turtle, when you get another player on they normally lag behind and then you lose them. Also if you invite them to your GH and they are on other aide of map. You invite them onto your horse and then leave the GH the person will teleport with you to where you are

THE PRICES ARE HIGH BECAUSE THEY ARE RARE DEAL WITH IT

The quest today is for 1000 gralats :0! Currently doing it.

i feel that mounts are for customation, and that they all should not have gameplay advantages, perhaps suggest to stefan that the player be able to get the first original horse at balamb, and all mounts being able to carry two people, and the prices just be spread,

its how its meant to be, you shouldn't need to pay for actual gameplay advantages, the payment is for vanity and customization, look at shields and swords and bodys and heads and hats and bombs, they all do the same thing, even without them your at no disadvantage.

same should be with mounts.

I've seen people with Pirate Octopus morphs around York Town but I can't figure out where to get it :0

Whenever I defeat a pyrat and try to get it's eyepatch, it's a complete 50/50. Sometimes I could get it, sometimes I don't even when I'm touching the eyepatch

Also I'm not sure if you have to walk on it or use the grab button to pick up the eyepatches because I get them in random..

Anyone else experienced these problems for the quest aswell?

This ^

Yeah but you need to kill 75 this time :/ thats 15x as much as the last time and only double the reward.

Don't complain, be thankful you atleast are given this practically free 1000 gralats. No farming required.

Yay this is LONG overdue but it was worth the wait

great job hope to see more of this

meh slower than farming since noobs are constantly stealing kills. Its an alright alternative tho.

Still, be thankful. Staff worked hard on this, don't be complaining when a lot of us were waiting for a new town.

While you are doing this you are getting bombs arrows and gralat drops, maybe baddy kills too, seems worth it to me...

People seem to miss that you can totally waste bombs and arrows to kill them because of dropped refills, so much better that farming. As for the eye patch glitch, im sure a scripter will fix it soon.
