It generally takes apple about a week to update their apps though that doesn't mean Stefan won't wait to release the update after its approved.

[skillmaster19]

Stefan has told me the VIP subscription will be $2.99 a month, and include items. Seems like a bit much to pay for an iPhone game, especially when considering the game already has a cash shop. In my opinion a game should have either a cash shop/microtransactions or a subscription, but not both. I feel the subscription should cost less, as many more people will buy it if it costs less. Also, the VIP subscription should cover both servers (Classic and Era), there is no way anyone would pay $6 total a month for VIP on both games. Be sure to announce the subscription properly Stefan, or else you will cause many players to rebel/quit when they find out about the subscription(even though it is not required, if you announce it in updates as something like:
Fixed Crashes and speed greatly improved
New login screen
Support for VIP subscription

... Then some people may assume the subscription is required and refuse to update/quit. Be sure to explain the subscription well and make sure the players know it isn't required.

Good thing I am already VIP .... right?

[Admins]

The VIP subscriptions on Classic and Era for iPhone:
- Gives one special item each month (which would cost 10-20k gralats otherwise, $4-8)
- Makes it possible to share accounts between several devices, you are identified by your e-mail-address
- Let's you play on the iPhone server with your Facebook account (must be registered with the same e-mail address).
- They are monthly subscriptions for $2.99 (2.39 euros). They can be cancelled at any time, in that case you can continue playing on your account, but only from one device (and not from Facebook).
- It's completely optional

Is it out yet?

And are they combined or must I purchase a seperate one for each server

I think the multiple devices option should be for everyone, it would save Xor a lot of work with account transfers and would be very convienient to many people;they could play from their iphone in the car and their ipod at home.

This scenario makes me the devices are permanently tethered to their respective locations

[Shadow5596321]

I think he was meaning iPad.

[Fogell]

Hold up; you have to pay for Facebook? With what? Facebook Credits? Credit card? iTunes?

[Nonepwnz]

Facebook should be free to play, imagine all the players. And have to pay for becoming "Gold" but the Trial should not be as same as the PC Trials, with "free playing time" and ****, just make the Trials not able to have gangs/enter bases or have jobs and such.

[Fogell]

Pfft, why don't they just carry over the money we pay for Gold on PC to Facebook, I mean really.

They wouldn't make more money like that.

[james544]

So... When is Facebook Graal going to be launched? It's past the release date. Then again, never trust Unix's deadlines.

[n0n021]

Ohh! Ok!! Thank you it's just the "in-app purchase"

So iPhone VIP players have to pay for GraalOnline Facebook since the iPhone Graal Shop ??

Well, of course it is going to encourage me to buy gold if they keep trying to make me buy multiple things with multiple payments.

[Kiwi27]

I no likey.

Is it just account sharing and some random new hat?

[Tricxta]

not worth it

[dennis20014]

From what he told us, I'm still a little confused on things, but I'll just wait to see when they come to light.

How about that android version!? rofl

[MattKan]

k, i'll be generous and give everyone my username and password so that we don't have to pay as much

[Tricxta]

Some greedy guts would change the password on you and have the account all to themselves you know...

Stop taking everything everybody says seriously.

[n0n021]

To add GraalOnline Classic+ & Era+ on the MacStore would make a good publicity for iPhone Graal Severs (and Eurocenter), because the MacStore is recent and there aren't a lot of Online Games.

[dennis20014]

To make the FB and android version available all ready would be awesome!! lol

Even the non-pay version would be nice.. on that topic, Battle Bears -1 is pretty neat O: Graphics are awesome and it's funny lol

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.

agreed

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;

[dennis20014]

The forums wouldn't work for me last night around the same time, I was hoping the game was up =[ guess not
