However, it might need to be more necessary since we will be heavily economy based, unlike the other two iPhone servers where you can't really trade. Player-to-player trading is already opening up a lot of headaches that we will be dealing with from scams, hackers, etc.

Well if this is something that you plan to go the mile you will have to find some type of solution to that. Some people upgrade their iPhones or iTouches each year or two years and since GK will be a mmorpg for the iphone then people will complain about all their hard work lost.
Also will gk iphone be open to the pc graal community who has gold? I mean thats one way of drawing in players from the phone servers to the pc server and bringing in more money.

Nice!! Iv'e seen so much more cooler levels then this swamp though, even though this swamp is actually amazing in my opinion. You guys should be excited when I say this :D


I can't wait to play this when it comes out!

Well, if we did not do account creation, players could still request that their old device be swapped with their new device. That is currently how they do it on Classic iPhone and Era iPhone.

My only concern is how much time it will take from staff members. I'm not sure if it will take more time from staff members to restore accounts, etc or to transfer old devices to new devices. We are trying minimalize the amount of time staff members must spend helping players. This will guarantee that players will be happier if they need less help from staff members to do things, and it will make staff members happier too.

Right now I can confirm that we will not be merging PC and iPhone Graal Kingdoms as of now in our plans, however, if we find a way to make this possible - we will definitely. I would say there is a 50% chance that we will implement that capability sometime after release. The reason we are on the fence is because we are still unsure if we are going to have player killing or not (except for events and spars). Player killing could offer an unfair advantage to those playing on the PC.

On top of all of that, iPhone revolves around micro-transactions and executes it fairly smoothly. Graal for the PC does not execute micro-transactions smoothly, and we will not be introducing PC access to Kingdoms iPhone until Graal's payment system is revised to better suit our goals. We are doing this to keep players happy as much as we are doing it to get the most out of our creation.

Edit: I should mention, however, that this doesn't mean that Graal Kingdoms will be left out. I have a huge plan for Graal Kingdoms involving this content. We'll see what happens.

Also the image looks nice but is it a swamp or fog? =P

Having accounts would be really nice. I wish we had accounts for Classic iPhone as well. It would solve all the "I need to be transferred!" requests we get via email everyday.

Also, best of luck Tig. I hope to see more soon!

In my opinion, you could just do it as it is on PC for battle mode, if they want to be in battle mode and take the risk of being PK'd by someone on PC, that's their choice.

DuBsTeRmAn 01-04-2011 07:35 PM

That looks better than the original gk if you ask meh

joel34 01-04-2011 08:01 PM

You're making me buy an Iphone. But i won't.

Conqueror 01-06-2011 01:06 AM

Has a single item been added to the Event Shop since 07 or so? (no disrespect) I think we need to start adding and removing items, adding rares and values to items that people bought in the past. Actually somewhat stimulate the economy.

Seeya 01-06-2011 05:22 AM
