Just an idea...

[Ravenblade1979]

I am probably gonna get flammed etc for even saying something like this.

Why doesn't staff just take GK off the server list, suspend gk gold accounts so people don't lose days and just fix it up proper. add stuff needed etc. Then put it back on the serverlist after its all finished.

I mean we getting nowhere currently are we?

[Tigairius]

Stupid idea. That's like putting someone with the flu "out of their misery." This is curable. Not to mention we'd get no where a lot faster if you took it off the list.

Once it's taken off the list I doubt it will ever come back.

Agreed.

I guess you could just suspend all the gold accounts (still let them on, but no one can purchase a new subscription and they don't lose time), but there is no need to take the server down.

Doesn't make any sense. Isn't that the reason why theres a debug server? x.x

[xAzerothx]

I thought Tig and Stephen were the only people making stuff for GK.

[Stephen]

We don't need to take it down to develop, we just need the proper rights or someone with the proper rights. Otherwise it's very stop and go.

Besides, it would take potential revenue away from Graal Online. There may be little gameplay for oldbies there's lots for noobies. The only deterrent to noobies, in my opinion, is the pitiful playercount.

GUESS HOW WE KILLED MALORIA?

Staff A: Hai gais, lets take the server off the list for a week or two and finish the work on Dev then transfer it to the main server and let's come back with a bang!
Remaining Staff: Yeeeaaah, awesome idea!

And look now! Maloria still isn't back and have gone through complete rescripting 5+ times!

[DustyPorViva]

Exactly :P

Potential revenue?? I must say in the future maybe but right now no.

Newbies might have a few good days on GK, and then choose to upgrade.

Or as I've done before with G2k1, be a returning oldbie, assume the server still kicks ass like before, buy account before checking into it... I can stop there, that's already the point where GraalOnline has made its money.

Thankfully - your perspective is not universal. It's always wise to consider that a mantra before making any sort of broad statement.

Stephen presently GK isn't really bringing in the money. Not like zone is. Where do you honestly think Stefan will spend more of his time at. A place thats not making much money or one that is raking in the usd?

Welcome to Junior High level English; here I will teach you the meaning of the phrase "the key word". In this example, try to find the key word.
"it would take potential revenue away from Graal Online. "

What good will come from making Graal Kingdoms classic? I can't see any good reason why it should go classic.

He should spend more time on the one that's making him less money- since it is obviously in more need of his attention.

Obviously, the only difference would be the playercount. If GK was free, there'd be a lot more people playing. I'd be happy enough. Though I admit this isn't a proper solution.

LOLZ SCAMM

Btw
why is there so much categories of server ? I meant why not delete the GOLD category?

Or just make One and only category for good servers
So people would only have to subscribe one category (maybe more expensive, but anyway, why not a subscription for each server you like ?)

Gold Category makes me feel like its GOLD so its WOAH SO DAMN GEWD
but Gold means money, so would it mean you can only play if you have MONEY ?!

Gosh, Stefan must be rich anyway.

[Ravenblade1979]

Felix i didn't mean make it classic. I meant remove it from server list (make staff only allowed on it), suspend gold accounts and fix/add the damn server.

As its its pretty dead.

Can a mod please close this. An idea that seems at least half good people don't like so just close this for me please.

This is one of the few time's I'm going to be unbiased toward you:

Just because an idea seems "half good" to you doesn't mean it is the solution. This goes as far as figuring out what is really wrong with GK. Does anyone know the exact problem causing the server's downfall? It seems not. I see no solid answer from Stephen and Tig who are currently the ones most interested in fixing the server (but that's okay, because even if they don't know, them trying is better than the nothingness that will occur if they quit). Bjorn, Sam, and Maroku havn't given us an insight as to what the problem is either. Googi, zero, ziro (the smarter one), and other people of good or at least decent credibility, who contribute to our discussions, also display no solid reason as to why our server fails. (I think a while back Googi said something about needing someone who is a professional or expert in business or advertising... or something of that sort, in order to get a higher player-count for GK, or just Graal in general.)

I have ideas to fix GK, which in my mind seem flawless, but when discussing them a little, I realize not everyone would be to happy about them.

So, while some of us may in fact be taking this as an opportunity to attack you, we're not jumping on the opportunity to attack an idea to fix GK.

What is it with you making threads then requesting them to be closed when someone challenges your ideas/arguments? It's a forum, that's what happens.

Can you (you all, not especially Raven) please send such requests by forum PM?
It's faster and you can be sure it is done asap.
