i think its been like 10-13 years since the server had a constant community (besides ventrue nubs).

Wow, well I don't think I could have played it back then xD

think about this: adventure.  

GraalOnline Classic is merely a shell, looking like Graal The Adventure, but that's about it. You were on an adventure to find new weapons, explore, level up your health and swords and find secrets. And there were no hats.

We used to poke fun of Unholy Nation because they put so much focus on hats...

No we didn't, and G2k1 revolved around its hat economy.  

I don't really have any positive experience with questing on Graal... besides the social aspect of it(ie being a noob and having someone else help you), and even then I just remember lots and lots of bugs. Even if quests were added, pulling off the only redeeming quality(multiplayer) in quests is very, very difficult. Especially now where the sudden surge of players causes the server to melt.

That's where the whole concept of throttling comes in handy.

I don't mean we as in the general community.

I never played g2k1, I was only playing classic/gta.

The sense of accomplishment when finally getting another fullheart or upgrading your sword so you could properly PK was fun.

All the OP weapons and stuff was also fun. The whole feel of the game being a big playground was what made it fun.

Ya, but I don't see that sort of thing working in the environment that is iClassic. Players managed to wreak quite a bit of havoc even now with just swords and bombs... I can't imagine giving them things like Flame Spiral or any of the other insane OP items Classic used to have.  

What did old Classic have (besides quests) that made it so much better than Classic today?

I completely understand that.
