Graal Suggestions...My experiance...

[DARKVILLIN]

So here I am....DARKVILLIN...20 years old...I believe I started playing graal when I was about 12 or 13 you know when you could play for free...The good ol servers like Auroria, Dolphina, G3k, and I am sure there are more...which you all would agree upon.
I guess you can say I've had the full graal experience--Using the loadlevel glitch ages ago, learning to create levels, music, and graphics, working for Graal2001,Kingdoms, Babylon, Sanstrata, and many more...Watching friends come and go as I have constantly debating whether or not graal is really worth staying and playing again...and again...and again.
No doubt, I've had tons of fun...sadly with my Hell son "Crono" and many other graalians--riding a boat with Unixmad on GK and listening to him talking about pillaging villages and eating everyone...and drinking coffee...yes kinda interesting it was... and lastly getting constantly critiqued by Konidias. So where does all this take me over the past 7 or 8 years...To the current graal.
I recently came back again to work with my good friend Konidias. But I was kinda let down seeing as Graal is at an all time low in the player count. I mean what gives? I know Cyberjouer doesn't count on money from Graal to strive its company...AND YES I do realize this topic has been gone into thousands of times but if I must do it again then who knows maybe Stefan and Unixmad will finally understand...if it just is swept under the carpet like most of the concerns of graal...then I guess well I dont know.

Anywho...This Thread is not about bashing graal or anyone else it is about constructive critism that could help the "big guys" bring back players to graal. Feel free to share some of your experiences as well to help bring back those memories ya know...
First off...Why not let the classic servers be free again...to everyone...I mean okay yeah the servers are nice but we really shouldn't have to pay...this isnt World of Warcraft or Starwars Galaxies. You know and if we do have to pay at least lower the price like it used to be. We all know Graal makes most of its money from Private servers anyways...I mean look how many there are...Its ridiculous.
Also, Just a suggestion but could we get some active Globals...I mean some of them are good but back in the day was the best. They were always on and always available. Even though alot of people don't agree or liked Nemesis he was always on. If you don't like that example I can go with Snake Eyes...or Lyndzey when she had more time. Snake Eyes was probably one of the nicest guys I knew...Always willing to sacrifice his time. I mean that is what you globals should be doing...you are globals for a reason.
Lastly, The forums...Just my thought...I think they should be opened back up to anyone with a graal account. Trial or not. Yeah spam might increase but its sad having a forum community this small. There are thousands of ideas out there that could help graal grow and playerworld production increase as well...
Limiting all these things to try and convince players to upgrade is not entirely working in my book. Its just taking away priviliages that we once had and pushing us away from wanting to pay. I found it kinda disturbing that to get Christmas items on Kingdoms this year you had to upgrade your account. Honestly that is just low...
I mean I don't care about VIP or "GOLD" accounts but at least let the regular accounts be free again...If you're worried about "hackers" and people abusing accounts...let your globals do their jobs like they used to. I mean you could allow some months be free... Just please help get our graalian population back up.

Thanks for whomever reads this and feel free to share your experiences and suggestions as well,
