Ok maybe they decided that there would be no crystal to put in an indent, but instead an orb to put on the pillar.  

Now I'm getting anxiety over this for no reason..

What could they possibly be??

Warp pillars is the most plausible possibility right now.  

The orbs now being gone just adds onto the theory of you being able to select a limited amount of locations to warp to

Ah, that's an excellent point. The question is: how many?

On the subject of this thread, I don't mind how an object has been modeled off our vision of warp points (which was new and not inherited from old Classic). However I do mind the hypocrisy given that certain iClassic staff are said to have complained about the Facebook agreement on the basis of "the servers are too similar".

Just to clarify this warp system design is something I've had thought out for a long, long time. You can find the concept for it here: http://forums.graalonline.com/forums...7&postcount=67 in a post I made back in 2010 for a server I worked on before iClassic even existed.

Here is some concept art I made at the time as well, where you could negotiate with a fortune teller to get a gem out of his turban:


Now onto the pillars... yes they are designed after the ones on PC Classic because the graphics were made for PC Classic and promptly not used. I offered to redesign the graphic for them and was told they weren't going to use it. It seemed like a waste of time that I didn't have to spend creating a new pillar graphic when I already had one laying around not being used, so I used it. I honestly didn't think it was a big deal so I apologize and the graphics have since been redesigned. The idea however was not stolen in the slightest.

New design is nicer anyways, nice job (@ you and everyone involved in the entire update)  

It's all good, Dusty. We just thought it was funny because of the "the servers are too similar" thing.

I'm sure that after Unixmad bans all the GtA staff the server's content will make its way over to you guys or some other server.

"the servers are too similar".

Wouldn't this statement just mean that there would be no point in having two servers that look very identical?

The possibility that you were milked is high, but who knows, unixmad might be being honest, and wants to find something for gta.

You don't know what you are talking about.

There has never been any question as to what the statement means, but yes that is the implication. A shallow implication might I add but this is besides the point.

Unixmad is not being honest at all. He has repeatedly changed his excuse every few months each time having no recollection of the previous excuse, and the excuses he's given completely contradict each other. If anything his promises to revolutionise PC Graal with a new client make me more suspicious that he's actually going to pull the plug on it, and that in the meantime he's just stringing everyone along.

He has always spoken positively of GtA and our work and made numerous grand sounding promises, but unfortunately actions speak louder than words and after many years now there has been no action. This is also despite the fact that the Facebook deal was retrospectively offered to me as a reward in return for a security flaw that I exposed.

As an 09'er I find this highly offensive. The game ceased to exister after 2009. Reported.
