Question Graals plan for disaster?

Id like people's comment on this, to see if they agree or disagree with me.

When stefan introduced www.graal.net and the possibility to buy yourself a server things went wrong for me, before this moment servers would get attention because 600 people played 8 servers wich of 200 people knew how to develop, so every server got full attention and lots of updates because every server whas rare and valuable.
Nowadays we can buy servers for an awfull amount (I understand that this has to cover alot of costs tho... but I think that 40~70 USD would be more reasonable) but funny enough people are prepared to buy a server, they end up not finding staff and being to inexperienced and unmotivated to actually make it work out.
Imagine, when you want to buy a server first you need classic, in order to get classic you also have to buy gold with it wich I find so unbelievably stupid, next you need to have VIP and then buy a server, this comes to a total of $140~$160 and this is what kids of 14 pay for with their paperboy jobs. The only good thing about this is that there wont be any more useless empty servers as there already are.

Next thing is that all people that want to help out have to buy the exact same things except for the server ofcourse, so it is really hard to find staff for your server, stand alone EXPERIENCED STAFF. Seen to the fact that a server needs atleast 10 developpers that are motivated, experienced and serious about their jobs.

I would say that when graal wants more players they should get their server quality up, only way to do such things is to make it easier for people to become staff on other servers, take out the need to be VIP to go to hosted and private servers to become staff, and take out the classic+gold packages or make it atleast classic+FREE GOLD or classic WITHOUT GOLD AT ALL!

At the start this will earn stefan and unixmad less, but if graal's gameplay quality will become better, and also graphics ofcourse.. more people will tend to play graal.

Leave comments please
