In this case I disagree with your assessment, to bring in an outsider who knows nothing about the game also doesn't know any of the problems with it and why sometimes people do what they do, even if it is illegal on the Board. The biggest problem is that most on here will not accept Graal as a Commercial game and still try to treat it as a "Free Game". In my opinion Stephane carried the "free marketing " of Graal on too long because the players got spoiled by it and should have from the very start let all players know that the day would come that it could no longer be free. What Stephane did was nothing more than a good Business move by offering Graal for free for a time to build a player base, then introducing the P2P portion of the marketing strategy.

There is a marketing strategy to this game and a time frame in which they want things to be done now and for the future. Now as to the Forums they are here for the players to discuss issues of the Game and suggestions for the game, this is the main function of the Forums. It is not here for personal flame wars and people who want to complain about every little thing. In order to accomplish a well meaningful Forum it has to have strict rules of conduct or nothing of any value will be gained here. The Forums are here for the community to aid one another with issues of the game as well as game Staff getting things out with regard to the game to the players. Before you complain about the Forums, ask yourself "whom have I tried to help today?" "Am I part of the problem or part of the solution?"

If you concentrate effort more on helping and less on complaining then you may find this Forum taking a change for the better and be a happier place to be on and post. Stephane can’t change the boards; the SuperMods can’t change the Boards only the Community can change the attitude and demeanor of the Forums. So it’s up to you guys and gals of the Graal community to make these Boards better by following the rules even though you may not agree with them but do it anyway for the sake of the community. It’s fine to want to get something changed but do it in a manner befitting a Game with young mature adults and not spoiled children who just want their way. I have the utmost respect for many of you and others I could have, if they try reasoning instead of rebellion. Think about it.
