Graal Free To Play on Facebook and Android

[unixmad]

Here are the big News:

1) We are opening a Free To Play Facebook/Web version of Graal Classic and Graal Era.

To make Graal easy to install we have ported the Graal V6 client to Flash technology: Graal V6 client is now fully web based and can run inside the Flash Player 10 on Windows, Mac and Linux.

We are planning to give the opportunity to PlayerWorld owners to move to Free To Play either. We will soon give a list of requirements to move a server Free To Play.

Tomorrow Monday 21 March: We will open a private Beta to test Graal Classic on facebook: Some Graal staff will be invited to be part of this Beta.

Monday 28 March: We will open the Beta test to more beta testers including the 3 winners of my “guess” contest, we will also open Graal Era Facebook version.

Monday 4 April: We will open Graal Classic facebook to Graal Classic iPhone VIP Players. We will explain the iPhone VIP subscription later this week.

If everything runs smoothly with all these steps we will open more Graal Classic/Era Servers and open these servers to everyone.

2) We are releasing the new V6 client for Windows, Mac and Linux
We will release in the forthcoming weeks (First weeks of April) the new native V6 client to everyone.

3) We are releasing an Android version
The Android release will come either in April

4) New developer tools
New Developer Tools including level editor will be released in Mai and June

The Winners of the Guess contest are:
ReptarKingOfTheOZone
LordSquirt

Winners, please contact me by mail (unixmad at graalonline.com) with your facebook ID

Please keep the thread clean and try to make creative and interesting comments.

Disappointment is great.

[WanDaMan]

Wow, nice job!! Looks fun

Edit, I would use the space on the right if possible to promote other products such as PC, iPod versions.

[Rave_J]

honestly thats it ? well you said a update i thought u ment a pc fourm why make more platforms when you guys havent even update the pc verison soon iphone verison u guys will quit working on. when was the last time u even update the graal editor or a new server lol and u expect us to pay to play graal lol thats a joke

This is a pretty big deal. Not sure why everyone is so disappointed.

Further expansion on the only investments of "Graal" as a company that is bringing them in any significant revenue.

I'd doubt that PC Graal brings in anymore than is needed to keep the servers afloat.

Anyway, I disagree, if Stefan would have not had P2P, and made it paid for in a way such as the current iPod way.. buying heads and crap with gelats or w/e, and not making prices extraordinary, I think more people would still be playing, and people would still be paying.. Rather then deterring a lot of from actually playing the game and losing interest because of the things they cannot do..

Like OB mode.. as a DEV I hate it... a lot.. as someone who can idle all day and gain hours without being disconnected.. I kind of like it. I'm sure many trials hate it, and the fact that they cannot set their heads ... or w/e they cannot do..

I mean, either way I don't have money to pay and even if I did would not pay.
With how many times I have lost my car, had to pay to fix it, and other crap, I'm a little too frugal.

But others would.. and I believe PC Graal would still have a bigger audience.. Perhaps someone on UN wants a lot of rare hats.. items or w/e, I'm sure they would pay for gelats and buy them.. Heck, I don't even know how to make currency on Era or UN.. Bushes don't drop it, and I know hitting soda machines isn't doing much. Old players and new players who want more, or don't know how to make it may buy gelats.

Even on Graal Kingdoms, which I still visit sometimes... Some people may buy things for that.. It would be much better than the state I am in.. I believe I started that server 5 years ago.. I had to build a boat or something.. I don't know if I ever did.. I just get on, start puking and losing teeth, and then end up quitting again. I don't even know how people play that server lmao.. I must have tried to play it 8 times in the last five years or so... xD I do manage to kill a bomby or two however.. so I'm proud of my self for that. >.>

But with that said, he does not advertise Graal either which would bring in people as well... x.x;

Probably because there is still so much to do with the PC Graal, why branch off ten other projects that don't end up finished too? That's my best guess.

[drewprayer]

awww i thought android version was coming in march :c

i have a android tablet and 3 diferent phones....

stefan said it was coming in march


and also you said either in april or what?

[Vinka]

Wow. Uhm, not what I expected, but I hope it'll help promote the PC version.

Wouldn't it be possible to link the PC Graal to the facebook version, without "porting" it to flash and making it seperate? That would be terrific.

Since I just started my own Playerworld, this seems like an incredible opportunity, good job!

[unixmad]

We are starting with Facebook but the web version will be able to run on all web site. We plan to redo the Graalonline web site to allow playing directly inside the web browser. You will even be able to play full screen using the Flash based V6 client.

will you make the facebook version touch screen friendly? sence android supports flash?

[unixmad]

Android will get a native client and will not use the Flash Player. So Yes it will be touch screen version like the iPhone/iPod/iPad version.
