This is getting out of hand
 

Okay i am furious, i was just browsing through the subscriptions because i was planning on buying a server then i realize that 6 months for a server is $76.04. That is insane it was 60 for 6 months. Graal has become way too greedy! That is about 12 dollars a month, yes i know i seem to be rambling on about 16 dollars difference but what do i gain with that 16 extra dollars? !pissed!

Prices go up.
It's life.

What crop is failing to make these prices raise? What war is interrupting these imports? Aside from the cyberjoueurs bank, what is the purpose for the price raise?

Declining value of the dollar.

Yes but i didn't hear why the prices are going up. It's crazy, i mean Graal was meant for kids that are 13+, how could a 13 year old afford 76 dollars. I would understand if graal was FINALLY releasing Graal3D.

Probably because everything else is going up because of the ridiculous gas prices. The American dollar isnt worth crap.

greed

The value of the American dollar has more to do with the Chinese economy than it does with our economy.

They changed to Euro cause your American dollar sucks arse! CJ was losing money because of this. Now CJ gets the money they should have originally gotten while you Americans suffer because of your **** dollar.

Just to make sure, YOUR AMERICAN DOLLAR IS ****HOUSE. DEAL WITH IT. The ignorance of some of you fools....

Hey, It's not our damn fault. Some idiot got into the Oval Office and screwed this up with the damned war in Iraq, and it's not even being fought in Iraq anymore!

Bush ruined our economy, and it's not going to recover any time soon.

Barack Obama for '08 :cool:.

*****

just... lol

If you think about it, what can you get with an extra $16? A couple meals at McDonalds?
You act like it's our fault we have idiots running the country.

I blame Florida!

It actually is. Well, not you persé, but your parents (or the majority of the US citizens) voted for the current president, and the current senate I believe.
The European economy is doing way better then the economy of the US, and Cyberjoueurs is still a european company. They decided to switch payments to their currency, and what on earth is wrong with that? I was bothered by the fact that it was in Dollars, because before the Euro kicked in, I had to pay more then 60€ for 6 months of server.

And Mike (Princeofkenshin, your name is Mike, no?), there is still something called inflation. Graal actually ignored that for several years, and now it kicks in?

Think about economics before you start complaining at Cyberjoueurs.

Down with the establishment, screw authority!

Flowers for everyone!

Ye the gas , someone know what is Venezuela?

Hey, Watch it, buddy. :\

ive made a thread about this last week.
im furious too, and im not reupgrading.

you could:
get new shirts
get some new shoes
buy some movies and get chips
get a taxi somewheres
put some gas in your cars tank
pay your cell phone bill
buy some cinnamon toast crunch
go out to eat
give as a gift
sponser a child
give it to some hobo
buy a book, and escape from graal
or, best one
send to me on paypal to add to my fund for my social studies book that my locker sharer lost, and i have to pay 50 dollars for it when i could be reupgrading on graal.

QQ,
Go get euros then, you british hippie!

I can guarantee you that the prices did NOT go up because of greed.
The cost of everything is going up.
You cant expect the prices to stay the same forever when the cost of living goes up.

What I said: Inflation!

don't even use euros in britain wtf

That is what I ment, idiot...
They should get euros!

Why? the pound is less inflated.

edit: idiot

im not british you american hippie

Man I am really hoping that the level of pure stupidity I've witnessed in this thread from the Americans especially is limited to Graal. But I know it's not.

The economy of a country highly involved in globalization cannot be 'totally destroyed' by one person, and his cabinet, in 8 years. It is literally impossible. The problem with Americans is that the culture here is so quick and high paced that many regard NOW as the only existing factor in anything. Not 10 years ago, or 20 years ago. And the future? Who gives a flying **** about that ol' thing? Not Americans, that's for sure. Strategy means nothing to the public of the US.

The American economy is based on external factors more than internal these days. If you think about it, it makes sense. Half our labor is now overseas. More than half of our products are coming in from overseas. We don't even have tariffs on trade with Canada and Mexico. Our economy is not something that a few people in the US can pick up and toss around at will. It is controlled by TONS of different factors all over the world, and not ones that would sit idly by while some jerk screwed **** up for them. It's much more likely that they would *GASP* take advantage of our economy while it is strong and use it for their gain. Imagine that, other countries doing naughty things. But can you really call it naughty? I think it's pretty low of us to call ourselves the Land of the Free while we dump billions of dollars into China every year--the land of the captive. But still, the point I'm trying to make is that President Bush did not single-handedly sabotage the US economy, and in fact, what is happening to it is more likely being caused by things that happened 15 years ago than things that happened 5 years ago. Such is the way. And the worst part? The majority of people who don't really understand what is going on over here are the Americans themselves. No wonder other countries call us naive and spoiled.

It's embarrassing and I wish that politics just didn't come up on these forums anymore, ever, to save me that terrible shame.

PS - Mods? If this is considered a personal attack, I did not intend it to be. I think my points were valid and well supported. However, if you are itching to give me an infraction for it, please warn me first so that I can at least edit it to be more appropriate. Perhaps that will also help me to understand how you view things so I can avoid doing them in the future. Infractions don't usually explain much to me at all.

World of Warcraft is nearly Cheaper than Graal. x.x

We don't control those before us who voted, therefor it is not our fault ... x_x

And, Bush never won the popular vote.
Naturally things change, and Bush and his cabinet had a pretty tough 8 years, but they did make some horrible decisions (i.e. the war in Iraq). I'm not blaming them for all of the destroying of the economy, but if we had people with at least a fifth-grade education, perhaps we'd have done better.


Also, what you people still don't understand, is that, as the consumer, I don't care about the reason for the increase in prices. That's how all consumers are. They just want it lower.

It cost $77.94 to get 6 months of World Of Warcraft, which is a 3D MMORPG. Okay now i'm gonna pay 75 bucks for a graal server that is 2D and has a chance of getting hacked and losing all your hard work. Not to mention the chance of you actually being able to accomplish anything within 6 months. :D i love this!

As for you Door bush did put us back into debt after Clinton got as even 0.

America is the land of equal opportunity. poverty in this country is a social issue, not an economic one and HAS ALWAYS BEEN. When people are poor in the US it's because they refuse to work for $4 an hour in a field when they can't get another job. Then they complain about Mexicans stealing all their work, because the Mexicans will gladly go work in a field for $4 an hour, since they would be working in a field for 10 cents an hour back home.

The same goes for their opinion on the economy. When the economy is failing, it usually barely is at all. We haven't had a real depression since the Great Depression. Recessions here and there, yeah. But we make a big deal about it because we are Americans and we deserve better than to have a dip in the economy. And it's not our fault that it's happening, nor should we do anything about it.

This country is made by the people, for the people. If you want to change it, you CAN, and you SHOULD. It certainly wouldn't be a first. Write your representatives a few letters. I have. Put your money into lobbying organizations that you believe in. I do.

Oh and, on the War in Iraq. First of all, it's not a new war. The Gulf War that the first Bush started did not officially end. A cease fire was declared and there had been conflicts filling up the ENTIRE time period between the beginning of that cease fire until it was ended in 2003 by President Bush.

Secondly, I don't necessarily agree with what went on there either. I kind of wish I knew more about it because, honestly, from what I have been told it doesn't make a lot of sense to me. However, I feel as though it would be a stupid move for any President to be totally up front and honest about his strategies and knowledge about the enemy publicly. I don't LIKE that, but I UNDERSTAND it and I support it if it will protect my skin. For that reason I believe there is much more to the situation in Iraq than we currently know about. But either way, I'm not going to cry over spilled milk. We are at war, and pulling out of Iraq would put approximately 30% of the world's currently tapped oil in GREAT danger. Which in turn puts the ENTIRE WORLD in danger.

So take the troops out? I don't think so. No country who depends on oil would support leaving Iraq a power vacuum like that with so many clawed hands from all directions ready to dig in and take control of whatever they want. And what country doesn't depend on oil these days?

And just to clarify. I don't think that Bush is some kind of amazing angel who did nothing wrong whatsoever. I am just not ignorant enough to blame things on him that CANNOT POSSIBLY be his fault.

When did we start debating about whose fault it was? x_x

There's no point saying, "it wasn't Bush".

trudat pal sorry

Not all of us American's are ignorant to what you are saying. Personally, I wish California was its own country because it essentially is in the sense of culture, education and general political/global/social views.

Can you believe that some Americans (of course 90% of these guys come from the more middle states, no offense to you guys) actually believe global warming is a myth?

The problem with the whole Global warming issue is that it's been blown way out of proportion. There are thousands of scientists worldwide who are backing off the issue because they see that it's not half as 'terrible' as Al Gore and many others are claiming it is. I don't think it's a myth, and I don't think it should be taken lightly, but I'm not stupid or egotistical enough to believe that mankind could alter the climate of an entire planet.

Most people see that and realize that regardless of how true it is, it's been exaggerated to a criminal extent. And when that happens, people are more likely to turn away and refuse to believe it at all, rather than be spoon fed ARMAGEDDON by politicians. The ecosystem would be better off without Al Gore's ridiculous video and without all of this bloody screaming about how SUVs are evil.

A. Oop, my bad :) I thought you were British, dont know why.
B. Im not American? Dutch ftw!

You are paying for the use of a server. Good servers cost up to $130 a month (dedicated that is), Graal is just cheap compared to this because there are several playerworlds running on one server.
You are also paying for the use of Stefan's GServer software.

Paying to develop isnt actually the unfair thing about Graal. The unfair stuff is that you dont get any money when being successful.

I totally agree with Crow..
