Maybe you should face the fact that your hardware might just suck. Especially if you make it dependant on RAM alone, of which Graal doesn't even use a whole lot.

bloodykiller obviously has no idea what he's talking about, but some people do have weird issues that I can only blame on compatibility. I've known players who were able to run v5 flawlessly while v6 was hopelessly slow using both DirectX and OpenGL on modern hardware.

Of course the game was made with minimum effort. None of the staff on Era are getting paid. It's only logical to try to maximize the benefit:time ratio when you're contributing in your spare time.

"you can only play this event if you have v6" what type of discrimination is that.

It's not discrimination. Try running the latest version of any popular program on Windows 95 and see how far you get. It takes more time and effort to support v5 users because you have to test everything twice and possibly spend lots of time working around flaws in v5. In some cases it's not even possible for a developer to use v5 because it's not supported on their platform anymore. When 95% of the playerbase is using v6, there's generally no point wasting significant amounts of time on the 5% who isn't.

+1, 100% agreement here.
