Developing should be free for servers that are staff-only

Do I think my project is going to revive Graal? Frankly I don't care, I only care about my own server, and attempting to please whoever may play it. I have to assume the playercount will be around for when I want to release but it's not something that you can expect to get done in a month.

Now.. Our current tools work, however they're extremely outdated but they can be improved in Graal v6 when developing tools will run out of Graal itself, allowing for scripted improvements, and personalization (I hope).

i don't think i ever mentioned stopping your projects to make a different one, or to somehow mold your project into one that will revive graal. that's your own prerogative, and if you don't care enough to make it into such a project then that's just another server to cross off my list of hopes. i don't see why you wouldn't want a server with comparable results to the ones created by CJ, but maybe that's just me

Player complain when they don't see updates? Of course they do, but just because they don't see them, doesn't mean they don't exist.

All you need to have is faith in the project you're working on, and in the people working with you. Sadly a lot of projects never see their finished result, due to the majority of developers not being able to stick with things for more then a week.

i'm glad you don't want to release half-assed content, that's awesome and i support that fully. but why does that mean that no information, no updates on the project itself could be given? why must players be in the dark about a server like maloria, or client updates from stefan? it's not that hard to post a thread about a project, and update that thread every time there's enough of a cause to do so. having faith in graal projects is like having faith in a god, where you hope that it's going to be real and it's a miracle when some evidence of it appears, but then when it never comes and promise of new gods are brought to light who will bring us wonderful things, you end up not believing at all
