Developing should be free for servers that are staff-only

I'm sure some of you will say, "Whoa man, won't Graal lose tons of money?" Graal would still be making money from server rentals, and I'd imagine that more people would be willing to invest in a server knowing that their friends can work with them without upgrading. If/when the server decides to open up for players, accounts will need the appropriate subscription.

As someone who has rented a server, I know how hard it can be to find developers. The most common response I had when trying to get people to work with me was "I don't want to pay to work" -- who would?

A Global Development Team sounds nice, sure, but if you're really interested in helping developers, stop making them pay to develop your game.

You sort of have a point.
BUT yet again, you're wrong when you say "YOUR game".
This is pretty much OUR game, if it was their game, you probally wouldn't be playing Graal, they could be rude enough to take away staff positions, and no more uploaders, and have only classic/gold servers.

I know it's pretty crazy to upgrade just to develop, but it's basically a donation to help out GraalOnline. They DON'T have to let us create our own servers any way we want as long as it follows the rules.

P.S. When I say "OUR", I mean the players and GraalOnline.
