I think the most important thing to focus on would be the website, and keeping it updated. Like so many have said, not keeping the website updated could scare potential customers away.
Make sure the rules, ToS, etc...are updated as well, and advertising.
When I do a search for Graal, I find information, but most of it is unattractive, old playerbased content. Potential players will more likely play a game that has flashy advertisements, especially if they find it on popular game sites. Advertising is very important.

I'm sure that it is hard to find the balance to keep long time players happy, and to attract new members.

I do agree with members who say there should be more updates to what is already online.
Even though I am sure it isn't true, it appears to long time players that Graal staff no longer care about Playerworlds (Gold & Classic) that are already online. I understand that it is all about progressing on to higher levels of new gameplay and such, but a significant amount of players love the worlds they play on today, and have played on for years, and they don't want to see them die while new stuff is being concentrated on.

I love Graal, I love every aspect of Graal, and I have from day one. I love to watch it progress, and have loved every minute of watching Graal morph from a simple zelda-like free game to what it is today, and I know a lot of people love to Develope for Graal, but that is another problem. The offline editor is outdated, and does not help would/could be developers in impoertant areas such as scripting.
I can't script to save my life, but I have heard many members complain about this issue, so it is worth bringing up, especially since Graal is lacking in this area.

I find nothing at all wrong with the prices of memberships to play Graal. They are more than fair.

Also, a big reason why I do not go on the game much anymore, is the lack of rule enforcing. On some of these playerworlds, the language and actions of a lot of players are horrible. I know this may not be a problem for most kids, but as an adult, and a mom, it bothers me to see this stuff, and I would not let my kids play on such playerworlds.
PWA need to be actively patroling these playerworlds. they need to be available when trouble arises. They need to be active, and if they are not, if they don't want to do the job, then find someone who does.

I fully agree that some things should be limited to Gold/VIP. Members who have the lifetime classic accounts have already basically recieved something for almost nothing, and should not expect to recieve every new thing. That is unfair, and would send Graal to the poor farm in the future.
