Just finished reading through this and I have to ask why try to bring it back? You come showing off a couple of generic screenshots and then say you have plans to make it pokemon themed with pet battles. Right now this just sounds like a real cheap attempt for someone to try and relive their glory days by dropping a name of an old server.

That is totally invalid.
How is name dropping a server that shut down in 2004 going to automatically achieve anything? Especially considering 90% of player started Graal in 2006 or later. Bringing back an old server (if done right, anyway) you have to redo pretty much, EVERYTHING. It is just as, if not more difficult than creating a server from scratch. Yes, walking around Doomsday does bring back GREAT memories from my childhood, but that isn't my only reason for bringing it back. And to many players, this is a new server. The history of Doomsday means nothing to 90% of Graal players because they don't know what it is. It IS basically a fresh start. Though I do want players to be able to enjoy the server you and I did. I want to bring a server that was brought down with some life still left in it. Anyone who remembers Doomsday knows it was shut down with a 30 playercount... Though back then, that was like a 10 playercount now.
I also mentioned that our tileset isn't complete so the screen shots right now will be very vague, since it doesn't pay to detail an overworld just to re-detail it again when our grass tiles are finished. Plus we are less than a month into development and I think we have gotten pretty far in that time, and I have also set up LAT's with MUCH less work to be done. Pathing finished, and literally all they need to do is fill in the blanks, level by level. Not construct a foundation, since I have already done that while waiting for the tileset.
