Aye, you're thinking of global events that dynamically impact the world. Those are very cool, but often require quite a bit of scripting in order to accomplish. It also requires a team of content creators, who'd basically be doing it full-time. I'm unaware who is involved with Graal Kingdom's specifically, since I haven't been here for very long, but I have been involved with games in the past and played pretty much every MMO actively in the market.

The monthly update (done perfectly by Asheron's Call), which continues the evolving storyline for the game is pretty much a must for something to be considered a serious mmorpg. This would bring a lot more support and involvement from the player base, and more than likely bring a whole slew of new players who are drawn like moths to a flame to this new storyline.

Of course, something like this takes a lot of time and effort, and there would be paying players who would not be pleased with how things go. So, it would be a decision to be made by the creators and maintainers of this particular game world.

I think there's still a helluva lot of potential with Graal. The fact that it's played by a wide range of player ages is one thing that makes it interesting. Anything suggested or included should go with that spirit.
