What do you guys think of the new update?

Awesome. Not a fan of those grey GUI screens though.

It's an improvement from the last two system, but it seems a little bulky to me.

Should try and get a team together and make a really cool new standard for Era's GUI's.

lol guise I can make GUI's

I think a picture of my character would make that GUI much better.

I still think keeping the items in shops is a good way to go and provides the gmap with content.

Seems like everything is being focused around the Mall/OSL and less map exploration.

I wanted everything that players would use most often to be in one place. For the most part your statement is true. Usually true with all OSL's though on Graal.

Yeah, it's a good/bad thing. I mean yeah it's good for new players, makes it easier, but sucks for the map as a whole. lol

Although for new players it's best to aim for that with such a small player count to keep new player coming back.

the gmap should be reduced and all player housing should be moved to a separate island with it's own separate gmap accessible by train or something. instead of squishing everything around OSL, make the overall map smaller. things will still be close together but not exactly mushed all in one place.

I thought that's what Southridge used to be for, but then when I came back it was gone and all the houses were moved to the top. lol

Not to mention all the pinching and squeezing of the gmap.

I don't know how "Player shops" became about houses, but yeah.

Southridge gave people a reason to use cars.
I say expand/add another huge island for player housing, and add a underwater tunnel<- (Someone elses idea I think Fibers. )

Instead of cramming everything in one spot, you could simply create a comprehensive tutorial that directs players to these specific shops and grants the gmap a purpose. It is small enough, so once granted use, the exploration of the GMAP actually becomes a brief aspect of the game.

I read somewhere Tim made one or was making one and didn't like the way it turned out, so.... Everything in mall!

With the release of the treasure system, I thought it would encourage GMAP exploration.. Turns out players lost interest after a few days as expected.

Could up the antics and apply hachi's baddy system to those pirates to explore that sector of the beach and make the treasure a bit more valuable than what it is.

His baddies dont work on the GMAP.

That guy just HAD to vanish before his shit was finished and uploaded. His gang system would have been a pretty bad ass addition to the server.

Uh, his shit is finished. o.O?
We tested it and all. All it needs is to be uploaded and properly balanced (point-wise). I'm more than positive that Chris Vimes, or any comparable scripter could do that.

@Tim:
Then perhaps make an actual ship and an inside level to accompany it. Inside this ship they can find maps each day that would lead them to treasure on the beach.

Nobody wants to touch it without him around to help troubleshoot any issues that might come up. And I don't have the rights to upload it myself.

They do work somewhat. But when the attacker goes out of same level it freezes.

Is this that thing I saw near the casino with some OP shotgun that nobody could damage?
