Website
 
Hey i think it would be better to bring back the old website just little bit update. like same background but keep the graal online the new symbol when u put your mouse on something a graal head is there instead the arrow ect. I pretty much hate the website now and everybody can agree.
It looks like a 12 year old game its not really the theme of the game i think we should go back to graal roots. like stefan did a while back ago classic tab is free for players a long with p2p but have some servers u pay monthly and just have gold like 3 grelat a month to play GK and gold just for UC servers
i think more people and new people would come back

you are right. screw all this new stuff, lets go back to version 2, with everything!

papajchris 07-22-2009 05:53 AM

I hate the new site as well. It's confusing to use, and alot of the colors look random. IMO it look's poorly done, and i would love a new website layout. But i disagree on going back to the old layout. It was just green and it got old fast

Rave_J 07-22-2009 05:55 AM

c graal was fun when it was free and u can pay but didnt have too like keep gs2 ect cuz development and game styles changes all times but
still i think classic style server should be able to be back on the playerlist.

but if u look at it
old Graal was the best then when all this new stuff came out thats when people started to quit some of it was the age ect but u need to start getting the community back like old graal layout got our attention when we were 13 and 14 why didnt stefan think it will work now when it work in the past

I prefer the v4 client.

Crono1508 07-22-2009 06:15 AM

More players back in the v2 saga as well.

MysticX2X 07-22-2009 06:42 AM

v2 had a nice interface where you could actually say servers were on the classic tab or hosted tab.

DustyPorViva 07-22-2009 06:44 AM

Beyond the obvious aesthetic problems, the site is insanely stupid to navigate.

This is probably the worst problem I have with it. It took me about fifteen minutes to figure out where I could download the client.

Besides that, it looks like a game for 4-year-olds, and the use of Flash with sound enabled at start is very annoying.

There are also neglected pages like this one.

I really wish they'd stick with the nice green theme the old site had (and even these forums have). The Kingdoms page actually isn't that bad.

Yes, I noticed that on the main page they failed to add "Download" to the "Games" menu while it is included in that very same menu on just about every other page. As a new person having noticed "Download" was not in that menu to begin with, I'd probably not check there again when I navigate to a new page with the exact same navbar if I didn't know any better.

Luda 07-22-2009 07:41 AM

The site just ****ing sucks plain and simple

Crono 07-22-2009 09:31 AM

Graal really took a dip when they tried to appeal to younger ages. The default Graal theme and website both look ridiculous and I simply cannot believe nothing has been done yet. Gotta love sharing a majority opinion against how things are as the game rots away, especially since I'm still an active player and occassional developer.

Go there and check out the pics of the login screens, from bottom to top. Self-explanatory.

that's the problem when you have people running the game who don't actually play the game

they get misconceptions about what it is they made and try to make it into something it never was

Scrolling from top to bottom is quite depressing :(

Luda 07-22-2009 07:22 PM

I miss the v2 one

Rave_J 07-22-2009 09:25 PM

That and the looks on v2 clients ;)

I've asked them several times to let me redesign the login screen.

Well, I guess that might be the case... but I'm a educated graphics designer, with 4 years in the industry - including GUI & Interface design. :cool:

We can clearly see that's exactly what they need ;)

it would be cool if CJ hired a lot of good developers who've played graal and assembled them to work on the aspects of graal for computer. dunno' if they would do that though (i'm guessing not?)

If they were going to spend money on (a) developer(s) I would prefer it was someone with a formal education, and not related to Graal.

Robin 07-23-2009 10:44 AM

Not that having an education is the be all and end all, when no amount of schooling will prepare you for employment within an industry where everyone around you is better and more experienced.

I'm probably ten times the "developer" now, than I was before I started doing it full time.

So true.

I agree!
I actually have a hard time finding the guilds and even to upgrade my p2p to gold.

Robin 07-24-2009 01:07 AM

Yeah I found it very difficult to do that so I had someone else do it for me :D

Could you guys fix this.


I would also like to say...
The forums don't match the website.
The website doesn't match the game.
The game interface doesn't match the servers.

absolutely correct, also adding that the company portrays the game as something it quintessentially isn't

Luda 07-24-2009 09:23 PM

I would also like for you to quit focusing on GK and Zone.

You just focus on whats recent and forget about the other servers. If things keep going at this rate I truly think Graal is going to die within a few years.
