Higher-ups may well see PC Graal as purely a development platform, but being a development platform goes hand in hand with it also being a game. If you take away the game, you take away the incentive for the majority of developers.

This is what I don't understand- why aren't the PC servers working on moving to the iOS platform? I've seen no development from any classic servers, so please correct me if I'm wrong.
I think that PC Graal should be heavily focused on a development platform with staff access to design worlds. Keep the existing server structure where you can buy hosting and visit the playerworlds in development- however I wouldn't advertise it as a platform you can play on.
If I'm honest- the Development side of the iOS servers aren't heading in a downwards spiral. On a side note- every Development Admin that's been on iEra (3-5 people max) have all originated from the iOS community. Maybe it's the lack of enthusiasm on the PC staff to develop a server that only 15~ people play? Which leads me back to my original statement- why aren't they developing to become an iOS server?
