How many times are these things going to be said before anything is done? It's the same repetitive argument, like in the Classic forums. Good points are made, excuses and reasons are given, but nothing changes and nothing improves. Wears you down, but I think the developers that there are left on Graal aren't helping much by just discussing it, then going off and doing their own project.

Just imagine what a Classic server could be with Stefan as their coder.

Zone.
before anyone attempts a clever smartass post, zone was classic first. stefan took it and rescripted the whole thing, then re-released it as a p2p server

I agree with you. Sorry, but I just don't see how Zone Iphone will raise Graal's playercount :/.
and the graal 3d, wasn't it out before? It didn't work well, people didn't like it.
People want 2D, that's what makes Graal so special too.

They have made some improvements like making it easier to pay.

Based on previous experience, it would be a bunch of generic landscape with tiny houses and an underground tunnel system, and there would be a bunch of NPCs that blow your mind, but no actual quests. or anything.

:noob:

I never said Stefan being Manager or Project Leader.
I mentioned being your Coder, I'm sure he could
script mainly anything you requested.

If I recall, he's the one who improved Zodiac's baddy
movement system... and that took him less than 15
minutes to create, I believe.

His hair turned gray in the process though.

Im not sure, anything could really happen within a few years. If they want it to grow, then they do need to fix many issues. As longs as Stefen and other developers keep the game online and being developed, im pretty sure it will be okay. And if you players, keep paying, and supporting it, it will be even better. It won't fully die anytime soon, but like others said it will go downhill.

Just my opinion.

That is for sure :D

I play graal because I like 2d gaming.

I go elsewhere for 3d games >_>

Well said.

I'd agree with 3D, but the other things are good exposure for little or no cost (except of course the website doesn't aid exposure much if at all. Infact, in its current state I'd say the exposure gained it somewhat wasted when it arrives at such a weird website. There are so many things flashing and animated that it reminds me of 888.com, and I've never used the site, but their adverts are equally movement orienated!)

I have a question. Has Graal's overall population been declining or increasing over the last few years?

EDIT: Talking ingame only not forums.

It's down about 50 or so from a year ago (according to statistics.graal.us). But, that looks like it is within the normal fluctuation of playercount. From what I see, Graal does not seem to be gaining or losing players at an alarming rate.

can it be determined how many active players there are?
