You guys would miss me to much

I'm sure this idea has been pitched before or something close to it. I also realize it probably can't and wont be done but what the hell here goes.

As an incentive for towering I thought it would be nice if you get like 50-100 gralats when your guild takes a tower. I know this is probably impossible do to ppl having 100 tags and guild hopping,but maybe if they change the towering set up it could be do able. You would have to be online at the time to get the reward.

I'm sure we have all noticed some old guilds returning lately to tower. So it got me to thinking maybe they could change or add some buildings into a graal-o-fame. 1 for towering guilds,1 for gst teams/guilds (or just add one to battle arena),and 1 for individual accomplishments.

For towering guilds the gp or guild logo would be displayed,and every reward hat/mount recieved by the guild would be on display as well. Maybe when you click on a hat/mount reward it would show the "hat list" or ppl who received it. This would help to show who was dedicated and loyal to the guild(and some hat chasers too.) Any guild who hits 1k would earn a spot. Their would of course have to be different sections since there are so many guilds and perhaps only the first 100 guilds to reach 1k would be enshrined in the GOF.

for gst guilds it could be statues of all the past winners.

and for individual GOF there could be statues of the all time pk/spar stat leaders.

maybe there could be rewards if you get put in the GOF like 10k gralats and a special GOF hat or shield.

Yay rewards for wasting there lifes

why not? Better than having a gf all they do is nag you to do stuff.

New idea I stole from other games:

Idols. idk why this one popped into my head. I was thinking about how healing got nerfed when AP got added because of pking (which imo is a good thing.) And how there are a lot of lazy ppl like me that play that don't like to walk or type in unstick me. So why not add several Idols across the gmap (as in statues not sitting around chatting or advertising).

You would "pray" and offer a "tribute" of 10-30 gralats to the gods(aka stephan,and Rufus) then you would get a pop up option of healing your lp or teleporting to another Idol. It would probably make it easier if it was made so you where limited to only teleporting to the last Idol or statue you touched.

I would put 1 somewhere on belle,1 in mod town,1 in the caves below snowtown,1 in york,and 1 in swamp. I know there would have to be testing with the healing aspects of it as it relates to the actual location of an idol because of pkers attacking then running to the idol and healing when low so they don't die.

I also know there isn't a great need for teleporting or warpers because of unstuck me/unstick me points,but using unstick doesn't send you to the same location every time and imo there could be more or maybe move some of the current ones so they spread out.

revamped refund system.

I'm sure this has been brought up a ton,but I think its silly that we cant refund any thing purchased. I know you can refund hats and bodies. I hear about ppl doing that all the time,and buying a new head or body. I don't like to drop that kind of chedder on custom up loads. I also get annoyed at ppl pming complaining when ppl up load a body/head that is on graal depot. You should realize not everybody is good at,have the time,or know how to custom make the bodies/heads.

Anywho. I understand you can get tired of those and want knew custom stuff and they cost a lot so you should be able to refund those things,but why can't we refund other stuff? I got some hats I bought during special weekend only events I never wear that I would like to get rid of. There are a few mounts I wouldn't mind parting with also.

I would think we should be able to click on the item in our inventory and choose to wear it or sell it. I'm not saying they should give a full price refund. I would be happy to get a lilttle bit out if it tho. Like 1/3 or 1/4 of the orignal purchase price. Thats how stores like Gamestop work. They pay you next to nothing for your item no matter how new it was then re-sell it for 4x that amount. Would it really hurt the admins pockets to refund a small percentage of the purchase price on an item?

New idea time

Dev's blog:

I have been on web sites or forums for other games that I have played and some of them have a feature or its own section that's like a developers blog. Where it's basically just a little bit of insight on whats happening what they are working on and where there at on stuff. Imo it would be nice if you had one of those on here. Or at least added a news feed section on here as well.

It wouldn't have to be exact detailed info just relative stuff. For example: We are targeting sometime towards the end of September for the re-launch of the rail road system. That wouldn't be giving an exact time or date just an approximate date. You wouldn't want to ruin the surprise on most things.

Heads up:

I was thinking it would be nice if the gave us a heads up in a news update on which hats are going to be rotated out for new ones in the coming week or days. That way players would have one last chance to get it before its gone for who knows how long. Along with that I thought it would be cool if they had a "clearance" sell for those items that are going to be rotated out. Just for the weekend and just on those couple of items. It wouldn't necessarily have to be a big price drop on those hats just like a small %. Imo this would be a nice courtesy to give players who may have wanted the hat but didn't have or want to spend the gralats on it,but would be more willing if they knew this was there last chance to get it.

100 ap room?

So i was thinking about how there was threads with ideas for other rooms dealing with having a certain amount of hours of online time or having enough of certain stats to enter a room. I know I shouldn't encourage more idling/afking but how about a 100 ap room/shop? would probably be most likely located inside or next to one of the churches. maybe you could buy certain handful of things there.

Such as:

a harp (a new type of musical instrument).

healing bombs/arrows (a different set of bomb/arrows you can equip but they heal people when they are struck instead of taking damage).

a statue/idol/grail that is a furniture item when set in your house doubles your ap gained while your in your house/gh.

white cloud mount

On the opposite side there could be a room for 0 ap people as well with a small assortment of items. for example: a floating black winged gani (like the wings on oasis),the black could mount,among an assortment of things.

That wouldn't be giving an exact time or date just an approximate date. You wouldn't want to ruin the surprise on most things.

I was thinking of doing this already, but I don't know how successful it would be. It may improve the communication between players and the (four) people that do work on the server. It would also allow people to make more informed feedback and suggestions instead of just plucking things out of the air. I'd like it more than posting on Graalians.com and it could be just as pretty! However, it could also just turn into an extended news post, provide false hope with so many projects going on at once, or kill any buzz that an unannounced release could have.

For example, I posted a screenshot of some remade Snow Town features and then took an unplanned break away from the staff. When I got back all I could think of was guild-related content. Now people are constantly crying about assumptions that they themselves have made. In hindsight, posting a screenshot probably didn't help much at all with anything overall. If Classic was a server that was 'in development' and we could hide behind the fact that you're not actively playing it, sure, I can see how previewing can be of benefit. Unfortunately we are not.

Admiral · 09-25-2013

I like the dev blog idea but I think everyone can agree upon that you should never post any kind of date, especially for Graal, when work is completely voluntary. However, a place where players can see a small portion of what's going on behind the scenes would be pretty cool, not just for iClassic but for all servers as well.

100 ap room? Nope, discourages PKing. Though the suggestions you posted for a shop (healing bombs, harp etc) are okay I suppose.

more idea:

mini game- arrow war: basically it would be like an arrow only spar where swords/bombs would be locked out and it could be pvp or teams of people chasing each other around shooting each other with arrows with ppl getting eliminated when they get hit and of course there would be objects to run around and hide behind. Kind of like a Classic version of a paintball war.

Better if it was coloured arrows and in a forest

^exactly where I was going with that. I invisioned different colors covering players avatars similar to when you get hit with a snow ball. Then you get warped out to a waiting area or box just out side the battle zone like when you get eliminated from an event. I was toying with how many hits you get just 1 or maybe up to 3 hits before your eliminated.

I had another Idea but I completely brain farted and can't remember it maybe it will come to me later.
