I know... But I'll go in depth
This idea is on UN, GTA, and probably every other Classic styled server.
Why not iclassic, the most populated graal server, would make sense to add more things for the people on the server to do...

Partner idea
At the tag team spar room, you cannot enter unless you have a 'partner.' There should be a panel on the profile that shows your TT Partner.
-add a partner for 500 gralats
-remove your partner for 1000, which also removes your stats

Profile
Qes
PK's..
Bks...
Spars...
TT Spars 32-25 (RESETS WHEN YOU DELETE YOUR PERM PARTNER, meaning you can't spar with anybody else unless you remove your partner)

TT Leader Board
-quantity based
-Also NOT ON THE LEADERBOARD should have a skill based score(like guild spar) Incase of a future TT Tournament.

Show TT
-Would show TT MVP/hits/times hit/ratio like guild spar  

"Let's add more things for people on the server to do"
That point is invalid because most people don't spar actively, so that would just benefit the sparer minority.

Plus, I still think that guild spar is better then tag team. Tag team is cool and all, but I think it would quickly fade into less and less use because you and your partner would have to be online together. I would much rather have staff focus on things that casual players can do, something akin to looting. While it's fun and cool for combat based players to get updates, we already got the new leaderboard this year.

Also don't see any changes to the style/substance on the player card.

the spar community is also full of people who have been playing for 2-19 years... So I don't mind the staff adding stuff for us...

TT spar has been on graal long before guild spar... And the spar community would do any type of sparring if there's a record for it, doubt it would fade. Especially since most close friends (who would be partners) talk outside of graal to get eachother online(kik, cell phone, fb, Skype, email)

? Spar community has 200-400 active sparrers who would probably love to have a way to own people with their best friend. Would be more intense because if you mess up, you also mess up your partners record. More competition.

Ps when it comes to the minority, the majority is sitting in graal city doing nothing. If your referring to the bigger PKING community, Clops had some great ideas for PKing in zones for points rather than towers for time. But I'm here for the "minority" (200-400 actives, 500-1000 inactive people who spar)

1. I know you don't, you're a part of that minority.

2. Just a difference of opinions there, only way we'd find out if it would fade would be for it to be implemented.

3. There wouldn't be much added competition after two weeks. New people would stop doing, even if the active spar community kept using it. In my opinion all that would be doing is make singles and guild spar less active.

4. I was not referring to the pk community.

5. I more meant I don't see them redoing the player card for TT, whether it was implemented or not.

Besides that, the casuals are doing what they do best. being casual. They are the ones who nerd out over Nexus and Rev, who spend more time messaging then anything else. They aren't doing nothing, their experience can be improved.

But, when you improve the casuals experience(say, a better housing system or better messaging system, whatever). You improve almost everyone's experience. When you add something for the casuals, the combat players will almost always reap rewards from it, so to speak. Say they improve houses somehow, while the casuals get more enjoyment from it, the combat players also get the better house, which we will enjoy.

As opposed to combat updates, say TT spar, the casuals get nothing. They won't use it anyway, you haven't improved the game for them. That's why I say I would rather have more focus on casual updates then combat based ones.

Not to say combat players shouldn't get anything, but we, as I said, already got the new leaderboard.  

Hey man if they add stuff for the houses, doesn't mean I'm going to use it. If they add a sparring room and statistic for it, doesn't mean your going to use it. Your classifying whole groups of peoples into minorities and majorities, tbh people are going to do what they want to do and there will be people who love tag team spar so why not add it.  

I'll leave it as this.

I personally don't see the need/reason for this. To me it seems like something that won't be used much and will fade fairly fast. Would rather have 2 v 2's because that puts more emphasis on team work in my opinion.

You can have a different opinion, that's why we are talking in the first place

You're right, from now on the rest of the updates will focus on children and e-dating.

Finally, someone understands me.

Spoiler

I didn't implicitly say that, I was more saying that most people won't get use out of this. I also said this

But hey, maybe it's something that will be added, maybe it isn't. It isn't up to me to decide what gets added and what doesn't.

Yup! GST is canceled, we're going to release ginder instead.

Would be fun. Waiting 3 months in between tournaments is pretty boring

hopefully that's a play on Grindr and not Tinder  

qes the new aguzo  

New leaderboard = encourages people to spar, as seen.
New showgs command = encourages people to gs, as seen

I'm sure a tag team spar would produce similar results (activity in spar)

We all know what you really meant.
