wat?

crap rufus is getting an idea, whelp there goes Classic's player count. GraalCityis gonna be laggy as hell now  

Adding to my server post. iClassic map isn't like other MMO, it's much, much smaller. Which means it shouldn't have any areas (with the players on peek time) empty.  

I feel like Graal now is becoming a remake of old Classic which I think is ridiculous. iClassic should be its own unique thing and we should create new things instead of adding old levels and things from Old Graal nobody except the extremely old players will understand. Back in the day, Snowtown was quite a popular place believe it or not. So was Deadwood. Just because no one goes there doesn't mean we should scrap it. Instead, add onto what we have and make it better.  

I dont like having things removed, makes me feel old when i think about how something used to be there.

Except Skylds Treehouse, you mother****ers better add that **** back or ill be crackin some skulls.  

Hide and seek got that much easier.

Never deserved to be there, not on iClassic.

Snow Town is next!

But I won't be able to hear Psycher's epic Snowtown song!  

I think things have been removed that could have been left just so ppl had more areas to explore even if there is nothing really there to find. I don't think it hurts to get rid of a few "dead" areas that have little to no traffic,but would be better if they got moved to areas that struggle to get traffic. For instance I don't see the point in removing 3/4 of deadwood and cutting off an extra route to swamp.

Most ppl would probably agree Snow is the area that needs the most work. I think it needs a special attraction to get players to want to make the trek up the mountain. Like Moving angel clan up there after all the top of the mountains are closer to the sky are they not? move the sky chapel up there as well. I could be wrong but I don't think there is a place up there to get married. Beside moving those two places would clear room,and maybe get rid of some of the traffic in very over crowded south graal city area.

Alot of the changes remain to be seen if they are good or bad because nothing has been done with them yet. Like the removal of the stairs from the cliffs. Hopefully it's all part of a bigger update.  

BURN THE AZRAEL

BURRRN ITTT  

All you need to do is make some special stupid event in unpopulated areas and then you have more popularities.
Sure it takes a day to make the event... But who cares. Problem solved. Now, remove Air Asia. Nobody cares about Air Aisa.

Air Asia is the purpose for most of the likes we have on Facebook (i think)  

I think Air Asia is fine,maybe they could go away from it being a noob area and make it more of an tropical island town (Hawaiish)with a volcano and a tower. Also move Rev up to the mountain I don't think it does much for York besides draw pkers. York gets more then enough traffic and doesn't need the extra attraction. Also Imo it would be nice if the tent in mod was turned into a carnival type event with hats,items,mini games that was opened 1 weekend per season like Nexus/Rev.

It's not becoming a remake of the old Classic at all. I don't know why the shops were removed, but I sure was glad to see all of the older playerhouses go. They were mostly old staff member's houses, none of which server any purpose other than to make players think they were someone important. I also see no reason for keeping all the useless filler levels in Deadwood. Why Azrael thought it would be a good idea to tile a bunch of cave levels that serve absolutely no purpose is beyond me.

This thread is just an example of human nature and everyone's general reaction to change and nostalgia.

"Cliff access" served no purpose.
Skyld's Treehouse served absolutely no purpose.
Snowtown Battle Arena was probably used a total of three times.
Swamptown Guild Spar relocated to an area where guild sparring is now more active than ever.
Any "secret areas" don't even matter. If a shop was removed, then I'll just safely assume it was for a good reason.

There are a ton of games where players cling to their earliest moments and cherish them as the best. Graal is one where that happens. I'm sure none of you care an ounce past this thread that Skyld's Treehouse was removed. I mean, really?

[...]instead of adding old levels and things from Old Graal nobody except the extremely old players will understand.

Please give an example of where this has happened. MoD Town was largely 'adding old levels and things from Old Graal' and nobody appeared to have an issue with that.
