It has been stated by Xor and Stefan that the current Classic iPhone server is more intended towards being a graphical chatroom and social game than it is a game with quests and such. Sure some quests are being added and there are some pking aspects, but the quests are dumbed down to be incredibly simple and easy to understand, and half the map is no pk.


I'd like to see a Classic server that is more geared towards being a game than a chatroom. Of course it would still contain social elements such as houses, customization, and guilds, but it would also have more playable content that many current iClassic players may find frustrating.

First off, I would like to see pking everywhere that is outdoors, with the exception of maybe 1 designated area off on the side of map for socializing that has no other reason to travel to. Pking is fun and adds to the community aspect of the game.

Secondly, I'd like to revive the old "exploration" aspect of Graal. iClassic has been doing this a little bit lately, but not to that much of an extent. New areas with meaning should be added without announcement to keep people exploring and searching for changes every day. For example, a new quest may be added and players may discover it and either keep it secret or spread the news.

In addition, I feel the quests are either too easy or too repetitive. You don't need to think much in the quests on iClassic or make decisions. In one haloween quest on iClassic, all you do is run through a cave then save someone and get a hat, and is repeatable 3 times. In another you find several things for a potion or something then get rewarded. Overall the story behind them isn't very deep and they require little to no thought as to what to do. An ideal quest would require the player to pay attention to details and make decisions, have plot twists, and have multiple parts to them.

Lastly, the game should have a more complex guild fort system. The one on iClassic is fun but it is a little to simple and abused. There should be low to high level forts that award different amounts of points based on level. The powerful guilds similar to COM would go for high level towers for their large amount of points, and new guilds can start out with low level towers to get started and still have things to do when they don't have huge armies online. In addition there would be multiple ways to take towers including siege by controlling the top, damage by destroying the flag(swords), and perhaps multi flags in upper level forts. Guilds may even get rewards for their points in a spendable shop.

Events and tournaments would also be cool as well.


There are currently several upcoming servers that look very interesting such as Delteria,Zone, and Stroseria(no specific order don't get mad), but sadly I don't see any upcoming Classic servers for iPhone, as Thor is rather reluctant towards bringing Classic to iPhone.  

Thor is reluctant? He will never make an iPhone server.
He is too busy rebuilding the Classic PC server, and by the time he's done nobody is going to be left on PC to play it anyway.
And having two classic iPhone servers would be a stupid decision.  

I need a team to do that

yeah, im saying thor is never going to make a server for iPhone basically. And im asking for a classic server with content more like a mixture of Classic pc/UN/g2k1, with really fun quests and lots of fun activities.  

stefan and thor working together would never happen, rufus would love a server more like classic, but he wont work with thor.


so yea.... its ironic how the people who could work together to make the best server could never get allong without ripping eachothers hearts out.

stefan asked thor if he would make it

*Stefan: i've seen the new videos
*Stefan: could it be possible in some way to bring those cool quests to classic on iphone/facebook?
*Stefan: unixmad said it could be interesting to add it as server where people can connect to
*Stefan: separate server for quests basicly
*Stefan: we could give quite a lot of control about the server to you
*Stefan: the idea which we have is to introduce this as extension to classic iphone
*Stefan: its running fine, people have fun, we make good money
*Stefan: but people want something to do
*Stefan: and we want to add more cool stuff so that players speak nicely of the game
*Stefan: so we would like to make a classic extension
*Stefan: the quest videos which you have made are cool, so it would be interesting to have such quests there
*Stefan: can even mean to get money or a part time job if there is interest
*Stefan: and the third solution would be have the full server available
*Stefan: it will be good to think about how we could work together
*Stefan: but at the end we are here to make players happy

 

G2K1 / BomyIsland needs to be an own server being released, not something added to iClassic.  

What would you define as a "real Classic" server? Other than the lack of quests (don't get me started on that), there's absolutely no difference between iClassic and Classic servers from the past other than the horrid appearance (****ty tiles, incompetent tiling) and incredible playercount. Graal servers have almost always been a glorified chatroom.
