And you've just stated the EXACT reason I made this post.

An online blog company depends on one main element to be successful. The amount of people who are posting their blogs on it.

What this game offers is indeed unqiue. However due to the nature of what it offers, your most important aspect is your players.


Your player count brings you the community.

Your player count brings you the worlds that they develop. The player count is directly tied into how well this game will do.


I'm not attacking you. I'm not "Anti-Graal". I'm just telling you at this rate, the game will die. SOMETHING needs to be done to improve the falling player count.

Sometimes you must take losses at a certain point to profit in the future.


Unix, have you ever tried playing Graal between 2am and 10am Eastern time? No one is on. The community is dead.

Have you recently tried to find staff to develop your player world?
There is barely anyone.

Have you tried your damn hardest to get people to listen to you because you don't want to see something you've enjoyed for years fail?

As I said before, I'm not telling you to make this game totally free. I understand that you can not, and should not be expected to.

What I'm telling you is there are ways to make money that you have not even tried yet.

What I'm telling you is there are ways to improve the player count drastically, thus bringing you even more money than ever.

I'm telling you that I have a lot of advice and help I can give this game as a player, not a staff member.

All that I'm saying is that I want a good chance for my opinions, and everyone elses, to be heard on this issue, and really taken into consideration, so we can all save the game we have enjoyed, or still do.

I no longer wish to be ignored as I have all these years passed. This is my final attempt to help this game on a large scale.

I don't want to argue, I don't want to debate, I just want to come together to improve the community, and help restore it.
