It's not like they're getting rich off of Graal, and $40 for 8 months of playing time isn't that expensive. Competing game companies charge $15-25/m to play and they even have enough players to where they could charge $1/m and still make decent profit. So it's not asking much to charge $40 for 8 months of playing time, even if it does seem a little steep to the average consumer.

I hope you're aware of how you come across with this post. A business transaction is only made when both parties feel it is a good deal. The reason that Graal is not gaining a decent profit is because many people don't feel it's worth the cost, and is it really? The majority of players have lifetime Classic, and that is all they need. People who do upgrade are usually upgrading to play Zone or Graal Kingdoms and although I don't see what people like in Zone, paying 36 euros for 12 months access and two updates within that time is not worth it at all.
Graal is not a charity case, consumers take into consideration what is best for them when making a purchase, not how it would effect the business they're buying from so what kind of stupid reasoning is that? The prices for a Graal subscription are overly expensive for what you're presented with, what you've got to deal with, and the lack of appreciation you receive as a paying customer. Graal is ridiculously priced within the entire market, and there are
many other free games out there to choose from. The pricing plans are not steep, they're extremely stupid.
