I have 30 or so friends on other communities who are dying to play graal, simply put - they cant afford it. They played the trial, they LOVED it, but they just cant become p2p.
Free games are good games. (Sorry for the nubish attempt, but here it goes)
Runescape is a prime example. I remember playing it when 100 on one server was an all time high. Nowadays it's an average of 1.1k per server, and there's 89 servers X_X
Why? A huge portion of the game is free. Then there's a huge member section, double the size of the free. Its 6 bucks a month, and 1/3 of players are subscribers. Bingo. Do the math. 32633 subscribers, at six bucks a month. 195800 a month. Woah. In a year, 2349600. Lots of profit.
Easily pays for rental/server costs, with plenty to spare after wages and such. Why doesnt graal start advertising and doing this? It's a great game, it's just too damn expensive for what you get. |
