Developer Gold Subscription - New Server renting
 

The new way for renting playerworld servers is up - see the subscription page at
http://www.graalonline.com/playerworlds/stores/upgrade

This will replace the graal.net system, all existing servers will be switched to the new system in a few weeks.

This is how it works:
You buy a Developer Gold subscription, login to the game with the game client, and you will see the server on the list. For you its on the normal serverlist, other people need to type the name in the server name box. You will gain full rights on your server, and your ip-range will automatically be set to allow your ip and computer. The other things are the same like for graal.net managed servers.

Payment methods:
You can use the same payment methods like for account subscriptions, so it is possible to rent a server with PayByCash now :)

About the Developer guilds (Developer Pack):
Those will be added in a few weeks, they are planned to be around the same price, a developer guild will require 3 members with developer packs, and it will use the same system like the personal servers. The normal Developer Pack will cost around $19 for a half year and $34 for a full year (so if you multiply with 3 it is like the same price for a server).

I love the idea of the Developer Guilds :) It would be more beneficial to me because I just don't have the money to rent a server full price.

Sounds good! Good job! ^^

Okay so let me get this strait.

Developer Gold is the same as being the owner of a server on Graal.net and paying for it?

And the Developer Pack is like having 3 owners with the cost split between them?

I see alot of support tickets with the following titles soon:

MY FRND SCAMMED US
MY FRND DELTD OUR SERVR!!!
MY 2 FRNDS DUN LISTEN TO ME

This is why I don't want to enter a partnership... conflicts of interest and debates over the hierarchy of power...not cool. Least you can still get personal servers.

IF you don't want that buy one yourself and don't share it with someone. This is our own risk.

Taking paypal donations ^^.

So.. you can start a server with 2 of your friends cheaper, or buy itself for a higher price? ;O??

I don't get it..

Yes you can start it alone and with friends but the server itself is teh same price. The price for the server is just split to 3 people so it is less for the single person.

Each 'friend' will pay money so it will work out in the end.

Who said anything about me? I'm talking about innocent yet ignorant little newbies. I feel sorry for some of them when they get scammed/screwed over. Really. :mad:

The 3-player server will probably also not stay up when there is no player online (will come back when one of the 3 is logging in again), while the personal 1-player servers will stay up, like the current servers.

That would suck alot for enthusiastic workers :frown:

You should make it cheaper then?
