Meh, its the Holidays. Instead of decreasing the price for a period of time, they increase it forever. -.-

Its not even worth what your paying for.

MysticalMatrix 12-28-2004 10:16 AM

Exactly I mean whoever increased the price is being a grinch seriously we aren't made of cash. I mean if you want money so bad go to Las Vegas and gamble $$..
>:O Bring back the price to 20 or lower

Or maybe they need the money to keep running the servers that you play on.

Did you ever bother to think of that?

Are you even sure they are in the need of money to keep the servers up or they just want more money?

It's plain and simple, they raised the price for no apparent reason, usualy VIP should be informed about this kind of stuff. Now even classic people can post on the forums and if you look at the title of this forum it includes "(Reserved for Gold and VIP Subcribers)". Seems to me that maybe the price would go down a little rather go up 6 dollars.

Let's divide $25 by 12 months, $2 a month. What can you do with $2 ?

* You can not play any other Online game
* You can not pay more than 2 cakes , 2 colas .
* You can't even pay a single ticket to go on cinema

We have not raised price since 4 year, do you think it's unfair to raise the price 0,4$ a month ?

About VIP features, Lot of arguments have already be given before so i will not repeat them.

Testing new version is not something we ask you to pay for but more a privilege we give to player that support us and help us pay salaries, servers, bandwidth, office...

VIP will be able to test freely the new game distributed by Cyberjoueurs (http://www.fairyland-europe.com) , each time we can make a favor to VIP we are doing it.

The graal3d engine is now ready to make games so we will have more content in 2005 than ever. We are preparing a few surprise for VIP like the possibility to use the graal3d editor and make your 3d online village.

Hey unixmad not all of us are rich. $5 may not seem like alot to you, but it is for us. I remember when you didn't need to play for Graal at all. Thats when it was fun, but now in order to work on a UC server you need VIP/Gold. -_-

unixmad 12-28-2004 12:30 PM

$5 is for a full year ! It mean you need to save $0.4 each month to pay that or 0,01 $ each day ;) That's a big deal !

I still say the other price was better!

It was a 'Special Offer' in the first place, if people read what they were buying. Which suggested the price would increase at some point. It was $19 for a long time now.

I believe some time in 2005 you will be able to pay in your own currency, which will help with some costs as the US Exchange rate for some is playing bad with prices. With the current US exchange rate they are losing out on loads of money compared to what they used to get.

If vip doesn’t have features you are not willing to pay 26 dollars for, do not buy it, its that simple.

End of story.

The problem is that VIP was barely worth $20 and isn't worth $25.

People still play graal? :confused:

You can do a lot in 24 hours. Plus now there's Zone.
Awesome, so now you can play a horrible MMORPG OR a horrible 3rd person shooter for 24 hours!

Quote:

So? Gold got it by paying practically fifty bucks, you got it + other stuff for $20. Don't complain; they're not obligated to give you a Graal 3D preview at all.
They aren't obligated to give us any service and could just take our money, but they aren't doing that.

EVERY (other anyway, and I don't mean "BOBS KOOL MMO!!!!") MMO on the market with PVP makes it either consentual or gives newbies a chance to get away. I'd name specific examples but it's HOMG BANNABLE!

Debatable on the content front.
No it's not.

Quote:

The point of a business is to make money. They are raising prices more than likely because they need to so that they can keep in business and keep providing the service you are utilizing. Stuff it.
If they have to raise the price to stay afloat, and there hasn't been a major inflation, then they have to look at themselves and wonder why they had to raise the price.

Quote:

Yeah, the Graal 3D Preview was promised to VIP members. On the other side of that, nothing ever said that it would be exclusively VIP.
It was implied, I think by forum posts too.

Again, if they need more money for the servers, they are losing customers. Why are they losing customers?

I didn't pay my $20 to play another trippy korean MMO. I paid it for content that was promiced.

We won't, and that's what we're trying to let the global staff know.

So much hate:

OMG SDOGMFInvhgfu , I expressed my hate on the keyboard as you can notice.

WanDaMan 12-28-2004 04:27 PM

I think it's a great deal, I'd rather get VIP + Gold for £22.00 rather than VIP itself it's only £10.00 more.

That's if I ever decide to open paypal again, I doubt I will though.
