omg this is taking forever x.x its driving me crazy

The current plan is that the new versions of Classic and Era will be approved by Apple in a few days, and a few days later Classic will be accessible by iPhone players who get VIP. We are also working on a new tutorial and intro (with some help of Classic PC staff).

Any update on the release of V6?

^ ^ ^
Unixmad said the first weeks of april...
It's 2 and a half weeks already.

Considering there are still bugs, I think it'd be best if we don't pressure them to release it. I'd rather have a really solid release than a rushed one.

Less for you kids to complain about.

I'm glad, from what I've seen Thor isn't bad at making videos as well as other things. Great choice. ^^

wdf, everyone was just kicked off of every server as of 12:16AM EST.
The login server playerlist is going ape**** because people keep trying to log into zod and era and other servers. GraalV6 related possibly?

tig logged on saying he doesnt know wats going on :blush:
maybe a big update

hope so :D

i wouldnt cross my fingers

graal is dying

fixed

alright servers are back

woo!pissed!

ok what the **** is going on @ graal HQ

servers are back down again :mad:

stefan keeps tripping on the cords by accident.

An update about Facebook/Android:
We are currently heavily working on updating the server and infrastructure to allow more players on the servers and making it easier to create shards, this is for both Facebook and Android. The shards will start as a copy but can eventually be customized by level makers.

I could be way out of my knowledge about it, but what exactly are shards? Levels?

Because I'd like to make a facebook server, and I was thinking about 4 large gmaps. 250 or 500 levels each, and the four gmaps would be considered 'servers'. One person per plot, however some plots are public.



--The idea should you care to read.--
The idea would be to gather plots of land, working for the in game currency, gems, and eventually build up your estate. After you get so much money, you'd sell your current plot, and move on and buy another plot that has a better money making scheme. Eventually working your way up to the middle plots of land near OSL. More populated and would look better.

As this is only an idea, I've only started on graphics, and stopped trying to get people to join in until I have enough graphics to start working on the actual server.

It would consist of currency getting systems, buying clothing, tools, accessories, and hopefully a trading system to keep people coming to OSL.
It would be 2.5D with an 8 direction movement system "once I create all the ganis" and 3D visuals.

There is more to it.. but I won't state everything until I go ahead and work on the server, which I would then state in a thread.

Can we have an updated ETA?

So does that mean the android version is able to play with iPhone people (or even Facebook?) That's my #1 unanswered question next to the ETA lol

No.

Okay, thank you for letting me know what Shards are. :]

So will Stefan be hiring staff for the facebook servers? Or have the same staff from iPhone

He will probably hire new staff, im sure somewhere out there there are more people as productive as andrew

I don't think productive is the right word, because in spite of Andrew's faults, I don't think productivity is one of them.

Basically it's just another term for server.

If you want to go more in-depth feel free to read:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shard_(..._architecture)

uhmmm okay I should've said as productive as the iEra staff team, they might not be going at there full potential but there releasing content at a rate faster then any other server. If that was set as the base rate for server content on a quality to content ratio of course graal would be a better place haha so perhaps this could be the base development rate for facebook graal.

is facebook version already out??

Not yet, we are still working on it.

As a beta tester I can attest that it's very fun to play on though!

Same here!

Nice now I cant wait till it comes out :) the waiting is just killing me xD

Same here.

Currently we are investigating into speeding up the Facebook version :)

i bet it's the text (chat, nicks, etc) :blush:

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Crono again.
:(

Yeah, except I won't be able to use my iphone account on it without buying VIP from what I've heard. -.-

Oh jesus christ, just make some way to link my itouch's graal account, my PC's graal account, and my facebook account into a single graal account.

So v6 releases today?
