The reason people don't upgrade as often, is because their favorite servers (playerworlds) are free, so they don't need to. If they were P2P more would subscribe. Look at playerworlds like N-Pulse, it usually has about as many players as classic, and there are several other large PWs. More people play on the PWs than on classic.

Also, Graal is very inexpensive. How do you know they can't get an account? Nobody will know until the playerworlds all go P2P. Doesn't graal 2001 already have 20,000 pay-to-play accounts? Think about it... twenty-thousand upgraded accounts in less than a year, and graal is not a very well known game, it has virtually no advertising, it's all on word of mouth and people stumbling upon it from sites like mpogd.com

it is just my theory, I'm just saying, if I had the choice, all Playerworlds would be P2P :D And I have a feeling, that one of these days, it might be like that.

I think it's more than the p2p concept. I think that since everyone loves Graal 2001 so much, they want every server to be similar to it, or at least have the same scripts as they do on Graal 2001. I doubt a majority of people nowadays really appreciates free servers that bust their ass without the NPC's server. Like Tyhm for example. He may not have p2p advantages, but he does a DAMN good job improving classic without it. Shaded Legend is a free server, but good lord their levels rock. Some playerworlds are meant to be p2p, and some do just fine without it. I'm Graal goes all p2p, then there should be no point to having playerworlds, because, the only playerwould that would be populated, would be Graal 2001. And most of all, without free servers, new people wouldn't be able to have the Graal experience, and grow to love it.

no offence (SP?), but when was the last time you saw over 200 players in N-Pulse?

Before new N-Pulse. :(
