Playerworld: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 17:46, 7 September 2009

Servers made by Graal players using the developmental and administrative tools produced and made available by GraalOnline. These include the level editor, GScript, and the infamous Remote Control.

Controversy

GraalOnline's decision to allow players to purchase playerworlds has been met with mixed responses from the developmental community. Previously, playerworlds were only available by application and subsequent review by the Playerworld Administration Team. This system was not without corruption, but it was generally considered that it kept standards high whilst allowing good content to be created and showcased. Proponents of this new scheme point out that Graal is a business, and that, like any business, it must raise extra finances to assist its survival and expansion. However, its opponents counter that, as anyone with an idea and $99 can now afford to construct their own world, the quality and prestige of Graalian playerworlds is dropping, as no skill is required to get started. Regardless, some truly excellent worlds have found niches in this system, and due to this and the relative financial success of the scheme, it is not likely to be changed any time soon.

+Servers made by [[Graal]] players using the developmental and administrative tools produced and made available by GraalOnline. These include the [[level editor]], [[Creation/Dev/GScript|GScript]], and the infamous [[RC|Remote Control]].
-Aslong as the Playerworld Administration Team and the Global Scripting Team is still around, we will continue to attack Graal. After reading several threads about the two it seems the players agree with us on how they both are not needed and only cause problems for playerworlds. So aslong as those two global staff groups remain and the people in them, Graal will face an endless war that will harm itself.

-We have put both of those in our demands for unixmad that we upload everytime we attack a server. JellyFish has also told unixmad that he will only leave graal if he gets rid of those 2 groups.
