This shift will cause most p2p people to play on them with their friends who don't have credit cards (that aren't adults), and thus even less money for Linux Cyberjoueurs (who I thought was only Stefan and Stephane). That 80% is not upgrading because of 3 big reasons.
1) Graal's average age is 14-16, you have to be an adult to have a credit card.
2) There is an alternative, free Graal, and there are a lot of free games out there
3) Quality and Service. The levels on Graal2001 or horrible, many tile errors, isn't it suppossed to be professional? As for service, that's even worse, Graal Online staff, generally (not all cases), is horrible, and the way things are managed, it makes absolutely no sense. The only part that Graal Online does different that is better is that the co owners (Stefan and Stephane) talk to you, unfortuneatly, most other staff insults you, and if you say anything negative, you are tarred and feathered.

1.3 servers means being sued when you're found out. Meaning, you're a dead duck by hosting one. Look at Mafukie.
p2p wasn't a solution to anything other than keeping Graal alive. It's a large business with a huge playerbase.
Yeah, so? If kids can't say "Hey mom, can I buy a year long account to a game for around the price of a game I can buy in the store that's not even online?", then that's their problem.
2. Yeah. Free Graal, which won't last because Graal needs MONEY to run now. You don't realize that. That's why p2p exists; to keep Graal in existence.
3. Uh?! The levels on Graal 2001 are AMAZING quality in most areas...Either you have the most sickeningly high and stupid standards or you don't have a good eye for levels, sorry man. :|
I'll agree about the staff bit though.
