The Price for Graal.

Nastazio · #1 07-16-2002, 11:36 AM

How come Graal is so expensive? I mean, you can buy games for cheeper in the store and play them for life. Graal is $40.00 for one year. I'll pay it, but that might be a reason why Graal is loosing so many players.

Echos · #2 07-16-2002, 11:40 AM

I'd say at least lower the price to around $5 until things spice up, because it looks like everything will be BORING for the next 5 years.

stupid cheap people

We are not cheap for not wanting to pay 40$ for a game that is "crap" in it's current state. Without guilds, Graal should cost roughley 2 cents.

Fortunately for me, I dont have to reupgrade for around 150 days. I am not addicted to Graal. I enjoy talking to friends on Graal. It also helps me learn scripting, computer graphics, etc.. That I may use for my future job.. So fraek off.

What you fail to realise is that graal is.. AN ONLINE GAME

If you want to compare the prices of graal to any other game compare it to another game which supports hundreds of players playing the same game together at the same time.

If you compare it to that. Graal is a very cheap game.

I said

HUNDREDS of players. None of those qualify.

On a persistant world game.

It's been said before.
Graal is NOT expensive compared to the price of other online games.
A one year subscription is $39.
That is only $3.25 a month.
Hell if you can't afford that you really shouldn't be on a PC you should be out looking for a job.

Enishi · #18 07-16-2002, 02:20 PM

FFXI will be like $20 a month plus money for HD ($150) keyboard , mouse, modem ($150) + $60 for the actuall game thas quite expensive but id still pay it money is not more the option its how much you want to play the game.

Yes, but if you look at other games they have MUCH better standards. Graal doesn't have a big staff that needs to be payed like other games. Graal has none to little player support. Gameplay in other games is much better then Graal's. So, other games have more to give then Graal, not just a fun chat room.

Admins · #20 07-16-2002, 04:28 PM

player support: There is the support center and you can contact us here and in the game directly, although searching on the forums for an answer can often be better because things has been answered before. We often speak with playerworld staff to fix things or add new functionality.

big payed staff: a reason why most other online games go bankrupt; EA and Sony made loss last year with their online games; we are a small company and even have problems with paying ourself

magicbud3344 · #21 07-16-2002, 04:35 PM

i think the price is fine

i love this game

This is true, if you like fps get return to castle wolfenstien for like 20-30$ and its for life and all updates are free, and its totally kickass.

How many console games do you play for more hours then you play Graal, the only console game I have with hours that are even close to those of Graal is SA2B, and most of those hours come from idling in Chao World.

Idling on Choa World to make Chao grow.

I do that when I get all their stats max so I can have it re-incarnated so I can get it's stats higher.

why are we paying more for something that is less? The updates are minimal, no new quests no new jobs, there is less and less to do! So i say lets boycott graal!
no one pay means price goes down or graal gets shut down, either one is fine.

Evan:
Dude, shut up. Graal is fun and I love it. The price is fine and i'll pay it anyday. No, I am not some rich kid infact i have to earn everythign I pay, but it's worth it. IF we don't pay more graal can be shutdown. It's not alot after you look at it. So, upgrade your account for 1 year then save about 3 dollers every month and at the end pay for a new one. Is that simple enough for you?
