Will there be a player house system like on the iServers?

Also it would be nice if there were more ways to earn and spend gralats. They're kinda useless atm.

How do player houses work on iClassic?

You pay gralats for one, get to choose a fixed layout, you can buy furniture to populate it, and also pets (using this word for a catch all that includes bugs).

Previously on PC Graal Classic, there was a thing called the Warptex which would pretty much be submit your own levels and be able to warp to it. Before that devs would just put your house somewhere on the map (or some other map), and quality standards for that got higher over time.

There are plans for player houses but it would work a lot different to the iServers. We would like to preserve the Classic format of having player houses spread throughout the world, with there being an option to either submit files, use in-game dev tools or both.

GtA isn't an economy server, Gelat should be thought of as a quest item that opens up more avenues for interacting with the world rather than a currency used for obtaining commodities.

It's worth keeping in mind that your total number of obtainable Gelat is static, which means that once you lose or spend Gelat are you then able to re-obtain the lost amount through events such as baddie deaths or bush cuts. Once larger sums of obtainable Gelat are in existence we may implement new more entertaining ways to re-obtain them faster.

eh, it eventually became a contacts thing. if you knew the right people you could get your stuff up. quality was always mixed.

Did you pick up the rock-turtle in Castle Quest with the crane? Drops a blue rupee.

That was both obscure and difficult. I think I had tried it before, but gave up and threw a rock at it.  

When I was a LAT on Classic, I'd put houses up if anyone asked.

My player "house" is on GtA, though in a different location. It was replaced by a hat shop on iClassic.

why is this game not listed on the server list?

why is this game not listed on the server list?

If your question is what brought the game off the list, GtA previously re-launched after a 3 year hiatus in 2012 but was largely unsuccessful beyond the first month or so, which ultimately resulted in the staff team's decision to discontinue the server.

If your question is why the game is still off of the list, then although PC Graal no longer has the game-breaking restrictions that crippled traditional style servers back in 2012 (plus the fact that we have developed several new systems and features which were admittedly sorely missed before), it is fair to say that PC Graal is still terribly out-dated between the client, website, forums, account system etc.

With the agreement being made to port GtA on to Facebook/Web however there is the potential to obtain a larger frequency of player traffic on to the server, without requiring drastic changes to Graal's infrastructure. By re-launching the server for the sole sake of PC Graal we can realistically expect a player count of only 0/10/20/30/40, of which the time/effort required to maintain would be a hindrance to the long term goal.

That doesn't mean to say that we are unwilling to cater to those few who have remained loyal to the server. For example we had events being hosted daily over several weeks of the summer with playercounts ranging from 10 - 25, which is something I have contemplated making more regular should enough interest be apparent.  

that is good for you sir. hopefully GtA makes its way through the web and become available to anyone. i appreciate your work and the server. just few suggestions though, i know you guys are already working on it, but double checking isn't a bad idea. it'd be greater if you could add the banking system along with the jobs, more fast transportation objects and few mini games (ex. chess, bomberman, trivia [solo/multiplayer]) to keep us occupied. i'm really looking forward to spend more time on that server. honestly it looks great and have a very strong base foundations.  

You've got a lot more content up since 2012, although someone seems to have been laming a spar record, which you might want to look into.
