Not really. You could compare some servers to casual games, but other servers are more classic arcade or grinding.

I believe what he's suggesting is that's all it's good for. In any case, what he said about it being a casual game is very true. I know many players, especially females, where the only other games they play are casual games like Farmville.

Zone is an arcade style shooter, Era is too, if you don't count the **** economy. Zodiac's a bigger grindfest than GK, and more comparable to mainstream MMOs.

But Graal itself is a casual style game and it's all it is good for and you cannot deny that so therefore Graal and all its lil doodads are indeed as one as casual game. But other than that I'll leave you to your opinion on the servers.

I'll list my personal ideas on the servers

Graal Kingdoms: 2D styled RPG game, Can be considered a casual play for competition itself is no where.
Zone: This is a shooter and therefore not a casual play
UN: No real story or theme, just plain gone wacky. Easily a Casual play
ERA: Same as Zone except for its theme. Not really a casual play (unless you are like me and just drive around all day)
Valikoria (don't know how to spell the name): A RPG server that is somewhat incomplete on becoming towards a Zodiac type RPG. But for right now since its text based RPG it is easily a casual play but who knows if they ever complete what they need to complete gets completed.
Zodiac: Has some competition and other elements that do not belong in a casual play so therefore not a casual play.
Classic: (Which they know of from iPhone): Can easily be a casual play for there is little to no theme or story (that i've seen really) and a lot of social activities from the looks of things so it is a casual play there.

So let's go down my checklist. Please correct me on any I am wrong or just a tad shaky on.

1.50/50 Yes/No
2.No
3.Yes
4.Iffy but a 50/50 of Yes/No (to me) otherwise No
5.25/75 Yes no to me but no to anybody else (I look for casual possiblities and they are extremely limited with all the gunfire)
6.25/75 Yes no to me but no to anybody else (I look for casual possiblities and they are extremely limited with all the spells and swordplay)
7. Yes

Conclusion. For what we see It is and it isn't but graal as its concept and what has been done shows this is a real casual game. Just been given prices that even MMORPGs wouldn't stagger on a prescription basis. **** any Java scripters out there? We could have this running in no time.

You make terrible posts.

Casual is a vague term, and I have no idea how you can just say "nonlinear = casual" and use the same blanket term the applies to Bejeweled and Farmville on Graal servers just because you can't recognize gameplay. And, regarding that nauseating video you posted before, you're taking it as some great, credible source, when it, like you, mistakes a simple form a gameplay as "lol casual"; casual games can be sims, but just because a game is a simulation does not make it casual.

lol look at you god almighty. You apparently didn't listen to a word i've said.

Facebook as we know is a big pool but not completely excluding of other kinds of games OF CASUAL GAMES. In other words games which are to be taken to a non serious level. The games can be jumped on and off of for playing later. Is that better description for you? Graal can easily fill that spot in a heartbeat. It's not a source. But it's making a point, But I do like seeing your vulnerability in trying to strike down my post by saying I am being too vague and completely glomped onto the video for proof. The proof is in the game retard and we all play that game. It'd be pretty nice to see a few thousand see this game and go "Oh this looks pretty fun I'll try it." Than see how obviously right I am. While you sir just made a bit of an ass of yourself for no reason. You completely took the idea of casual from the video wrong. He mentioned more than just simulations. But this topic is about Facebook Applications and as for what we know they are pretty casual don't you think?

That's how every game is supposed to be played.

Yeah but let's face it. There's a reason why theres competitive gaming. Because not everybody does, Even though that is how it's supposed to be done. It isn't at all. So your point is invalid.

Now so I can go on topic. This game would be a tad hard to fit into a java game for there is a major **** load of content. But this could be easily placed in by packages. With all the heads and bodies we have we could have enough "updates" to the game for months on months so new updates to the game wouldn't be a problem. Biggest issue would be having people code the game unless Stefan would want to do it alone as usual.

What I mean by GK isn't casual means, you cant just log on and play for a little bit you have to spend weeks grinding to actually play the server. Where every other server you can just hop right into and play/get to the maximum level in a few hours. Casual games are games that you can just log onto and play without having to spend and an abnormal amount of time on. Pretty much something to kill time.

If you want to play GK the only grind you need is your 9-5 job :F

That's true. I feel kinda lost. Are you getting at this just for GK or... all graal?

Facebook is definitely interesting, although technology-speaking not so much (would need to use Flash to reach a wide audience).
