^ amen.

I've spent a lot of time observing the community, and from what I've seen of it I think it's safe to say that most players are only interesting in running a social network and not so much playing a game.

iClassic has been established as a social server, and even stated as such by certain staff.
I was saying it would be successful on a different (new) iPhone server.

I'm just telling the truth man, most kids in iPhone classic are inactive pkers who just spend their entire day RPing.

that is true, I wouldn't say most but there is a good amount of them.

Oh! My apologies. For a new server? Yeah, I think it would be cool  

Introducing a level up system will just pull Classic iPhone away from everything it's already about. Since a levelling feature is such a major system, most of the server's gameplay and such will revolve around it, and I don't think that Classic iPhone wants that to happen. It's a nice idea, but not for Classic iPhone.

Those "staff" should be fired then.

And why isnt it? It disrupts the people who sit in graal city?

I would GLADLY commision myself and my small army of developer friends to make a level system. Quests and acheivements. And it wouldnt take YEARS to get one update out either...

Agreed! ^.^  

This is a Classic style server, and it would be in everyone's best interest to keep it that way. There are other servers for people who think otherwise.

Well... You can always turn towards the community. Right now the vast majority are here for social fun, then the game element players. Those players are also divided up into... Sparring and tower taking. You would probably have to have a huge voice from the population I graal that wants this feature as it will basically re write graal AND is a huge amount of work involved, so unless graal classi really wants it... Yeah.

Developers would have to spend time doing a lot of reworks and adding to the game i they were to add this system.

Leveling, okay I leveled up... What can I do? Unlock skills? (needs rewrite of the simple already hit with melee and arrow in one direction.) also counting other stuff idk a lot... Health will be change, have to put in new weapons now... Etc.


Okay, leveling up? Need monsters to fight right? Need experience right? Well, baddies and pyrates won't just do, a huge amount of space will be needed than the current map for monsters.

These are just some examples how big this update requested would be. I have no really sat here and took these into balancing either. Who knows, if this did happen, no much more hats? No more ustome swords (maybe pay for skins) change exactly how tower system and sparring works.

Besides you, I believe the majority of graal would not want this update. It wouldn't even be graal anymore, perhaps the game will be renamed once again if it does.

Basically a new game, why not wait for the next to come out?

So wanting change is bad ? Insted of just sitting in the second largest virtual hatshop? Wanting somtjing where everything isnt balanced perfectly? Where items have this amazing thing... Called... Benifits/perks.

1.) there there because thats what graal is basically advertised as. Its not talked up as some hardcore mmo? But that could change? Fanbase is relative... And lets see... It would add a new dimention to towers and sparring? Games have had complete redesigns before. Warcraft went from a medium rts to a mmo that dominates online gaming. Borrow health from era? With expansionary. Level based pvp? If there were paid scripters itd take 1-2months tops? There would always be customs. And still would retain alot of the same

Firing the staff who wrote the FAQ. Clever.

Most likely won't happen. Been plans already in place. I was also mainly pointing out to him what does keep from this update. The community and the fact that this is a really big sum to ask for a few.

Doesn't take much observation to catch on to that.


Anyways, what is this idea? "Level up system" is extremely vague. What are we leveling up? ***** size?

Whoever has the greatest upgrades or highest level will almost always win fights or defend towers more efficiently. I never said I wanted another virtual hat shop, so please give your wild assumptions a rest. Era and iEra use a system that allows you to purchase a better weapon than other players. This allows players to be virtually unstoppable in the eyes of newer players. In other words, not everyone is given an equal chance. This is not what iClassic thrives on, and would seriously toss the server into disarray.

A "Classic-style" server is something that revolves around being balanced, where players all have an equal chance to win a fight, defend a tower, etc. If you feel that strongly about a level system and love how much better it will make the gameplay, I advise you to try playing on a server called Zodiac. Not Classic, Zodiac.

Now, with all this talk of iZone, Delteria, etc., Maybe you would prefer one of those servers. If this is truly your opinion and not simply a lust for "something other than a hat shop", this is not the server for you.
