My 2 cents

Ive been with Graal for a long time not as long as some of you but long none the less, and I feel my opinion is as important as the lot of you so, here it is..

First off I must say that the graphics are outstanding however, it is a complete departure from the norm. of graal which -is- cartoony which -is- alot of the reason people play graal for all of you that have said "I like realistic and hate cartoony" why are you playing Graal? its like the most unrealistic thing I personally have ever seen! Rabbits are as big as you are!

Secondly, whoever said Zelda 64 graphics were bad.. obviously when God was handing out eyes, you thought He said pies, and replied you were not hungry. Zelda 64's graphics style is very good with a reasonable frame rate that I feel would still allow player customization of things.. if it gets too detailed players will not be able to customize graphics and submit them anymore, thus getting rid of a very important aspect of this game. Me personally, I feel simple but not too simple is in demand, obviously the player base of Graal does not have top notch computers because they have no real need for them, some do however and choose to play Graal for the cartoonish appeal and battle factor that NO other game has( that I can think of other than a select few that really do not need to be called out because they aren' t good at all). Back on graphics.. too detailed will not allow alot of customizing and too many polygons will lower frame rate for slower computers. For it to be cartoonish in a way is a major plus in my book and most of Graal if you prefere realistic again.. go play Counter-Strike or Asheron's Call and stop trying to turn Graal into "another run o' the mill mmorpg"

Third Controls need to have Joystick support whoever said that I agree completely I love the joystick/gamepad support It makes this into a console computer game thats mmorpg with awesome playability.

Fourth, view-point needs to be 3rd person (my opinion) with which you go 1st person by a press of a button to look around or when you are about to shoot a linear attack. (fireball/arrow etc.) Please keep it rpg-esque all RPG's suck that are first person.. all of them(my opinion).

Fifth, anyone complaining about monetary problems need to shut their pie-hole you know nothing about how much it costs to run servers, pay a few staff members, or conduct the amount of time consumption programming takes with organizing a project as big as Graal is. Twenty U.S. dollars a year is not a big hassle for VIP. Don't buy that next big game instead get Graal I mean you probably spend alot of hours on it anyway enough to warrant 20 dollars. It is a Product and as it stands now you are consumers, meaning you are consuming so with that equation the answer is Money is needed to keep it running if no one payed any money Graal would still be where it was back in 1998 where you would go to that "angel cloud" and go and give all that money to that carpet to get a new heart or that first gnome quest which was horrid (but not as bad as Krakkens the hardest darn thing ive ever seen in my life). So I would gladly pay my money for a game that's better than that.

Sixth, I don't like alot of you but some of you are respectable, mainly that Insane Carrot guy(?), and a few others. I think Unixmad should listen to the more experienced players than the "lamers" that post stuff like:
"duhhh.. what's vip I don't get it, but I know I don't like Graal3D if you open it im leaving forever and im going to kill myself because im a loser duhhhh"(this is what get's through if the answer is found not only in the forum by the search command but on that THREAD)

**I know this is a long post but basically it states everything I would put here on this post ever anyone who objects to what I wrote I will hand them some lipstick so they can pucker up and kiss my rosy red butt because I don't care and im not posting on this thread anymore unless someone says something important

**Basically, as well if you feel something I wrote offended you or hurt your feelings because it makes you feel dumb.. well it is probably because you are and.. if the shoe fits wear it

**For the lot of you here is some advice before posting before reading everything up to this point: "It is better to quietly appear stupid than to open one's mouth and remove all doubt."

**Thank you for reading this if you took the time to do so. I may have mispelled flaming me because of that is childish as if you never have mispelled a word.
