Well although i mentioned the cost its not the problem to me i now pay alot more for the game i currently play and would not come back to graal if it was free, as a gamer i now expect regular updates + new content and for quality i don't mind paying for it

Graal i think now attracts a different market, seeing as it is player run and not really supported/updated it needs to be free and this is why you see such small record low playercounts. People that are prepared to pay for a game have a better deal elsewhere.
