Do you think it's possible for Android and iPhone players to both play on iClassic at the same time, or does the Android server have to be seperate?

Plan to use the same server, although I'm not sure if it can handle more than 3000 players on the same server, have to optimize more :D
(record is 2301 right now)

Announcing things, and not meeting deadlines causes a great deal of this backlash people have twards you. If you are going to make deadlines, push them past when you expect to be finished.. It's actually professionally acceptable to have a finished product sitting around because the release date has not been reached.

It's great to see you have plans to further develop the tools. If andriod is ready now why is it not released? I don't see how waiting is helping it out much? Are you doing advertising or something?

Stefan, I am a big fan of your work. These people complain about alot of stuff... but could they honestly accomplish what you have with Graal? I do think we need some better servers tho, but hopefully developers can catch up to the extensive scripting features you have added over the last decade.

Keep up the good work, and don't let anyone discourage you.

Graal is going to be free to play? But I paid for gold :(

Most people would forgive you for not adhering to original dates, the frustrating thing is the lack of a real explanation as to why these things haven't happened and their current situation.

If this is true, it doesn't make sense for Unixmad to have announced it as imminent in Spring 2011.

What advantages has the wait caused to you? Just curious.

Better stability most likely.

BlueMelon 01-18-2013 09:46 PM

Stability and optimizations in the Android platform ofcourse. 4 years ago,Android was not what it is today.

True, Android has made a lot of progress since it came out. You also gotta remember android is the operating system. So the hardware varies a lot more then on iPhone's. Hopefully we can get a release sometime this year. That would be awesome and I am sure draw in a lot more players.

Phorcys 01-20-2013 02:28 AM

Omg it will be soooo laggy >.>

hopefully not.. we will have to wait and see.. with 4 clients accessing the same server... pc, iphone, android, and facebook.. it could draw in alot of players and if they have really only had 2301 players on at a time.. its going to be interesting to see if android cant help bump that up another thousand of more.

sweet!! been waiting for this. tho i dont own android theres now a wider audience.

xXziroXx 04-27-2013 12:14 PM

Too bad that Stefan & Co. as well as the local staff on all the iOS servers does absolutely zero to let people know that there's a PC version of the game. But then again, the PC version needs to have it's subscription policies changed before it'll attract players, something Stefan mentioned over a year ago but we've seen nothing of yet :(

Yeah Idk how all of these new kids pay over $15 a month for this. It's not like we're offering content on par with WoW, but since it's such a small playerbase it's hard to front the initial cash to cover servers that can handle over 100 people (they hardly do now) so it's a game of if Stefan/unimaxd can save up enough to upgrade the servers and throw down a huge advertising campaign, or the noobs just keep paying ridiculously amounts monthly for gold.

They don't. The major servers (Era and Zodiac) can both be played without an active gold subscription as well.

An 8 month gold subscription is $32 USD, putting it on a $4/mo mark. You're exaggerating prices by $11/mo (275%).

If you're going to complain about the costs, at least get it right >_< don't get why people always exaggerate Graal's subscription costs by 5 times it's actual price...

Oh sorry, what's it cost then? I'm classic so I've never had to worry about it. All I know is heresay so sorry if I'm ill informed. Also, I find it hard to take you seriously solely judged by the amount of Psy **** riding your avatar/signature/etc exhibits.

http://www.graalonline.com/zone/stores/upgrade

At most (shortest sub) it's just under 4$/month
At cheapest (If you want to pay for 2+ year sub upfront) it's about 3.25$/month plus some kind of Elite starter pack

Well **** I was way off. Maybe the figure seemed bigger to me because most era players waste the majority of their gelats on LWs and Vits and other **** from the gelat store.

You'll be alright since you apparently possess the style of gangnam (which means that you're like a big brother with expensive property. If you don't recall the cycle of hate, it went like 1) rich people that showed off, 2) swag***s, 3)hipsters. So you're already #1 on the hated people list. Better rethink your life.

Dat first review,

Admins 05-01-2013 12:54 PM

It's a bug of Kindle Fire first gen, we have already submitted an update like we did for Era and Zone. Making it work on all devices is one of the biggest challenges when making games for Android, it's one of the reasons it took more time.

Spiker 05-01-2013 02:20 PM

I have a Kindle Fire, so if you need to test anything Stefan, feel free to let me know. I haven't really had time to try and download it but I will as soon as I find my charger. xD

Admins 05-24-2013 02:38 AM

The Android versions are now available in 170 more countries. In Canada Classic is #2 of all free games and #7 of all free apps, Era is #12 and Zone #17 between Angry Birds Rio and Temple Run 2 :cool:
