Still juggling it around in my head, but it seems like that fowlplay4 just provided a very valuable insight in his describing the effects of the facebook/iphone VIP access on Classic Facebook.

Seeing as Graal is a social game, there's a natural tendency to migrate to wherever is most populated. Perhaps if PC players are granted the option to vacate their 50-60 average playerbase server for one(s) averaging 1000+, this would, with proven certainty, drastically drain the playerbase of PC graal.

In reference to your argument, the existence of PC Graal seems crucial to the progressive development of these more densely populated servers.

However, I still want to further the inquiry, seeing as most development/developers tend to rent private servers for their work and/or enjoy building their own pieces. Although most of these pieces are unsuccessful in their rise to popularity or even completion, few servers do stem out.

In short, players tend to migrate to where its most populated.
Developers normally migrate to where its least populated.
However, they tend to direct the fruits of their labor to said populated areas.

Therefore, would the assimilation of these separate platforms really affect development?

In a worst case scenario, wouldn't PC Graal just turn into a development-only platform?

Also, if so many eager developers stemmed from such a small overall playerbase before, wouldn't the number simply increase with a now larger pool?
