What would you do if a company was actually called cyberjourners ? Stuffs need to be said properly.
LOL why are you even trying?

What? You want me to tell you what I think I'm advertising? Nothing, because I didn't suggest the start of an advertising campaign. What do you think should be advertised in this campaign?

I'm not advertising at all, but since that thread is entitled "Graal Advertising" and since we're only talking about ways to advertise graal, I suggest graal should be advertised.

I discovered graal because of advertising on a very poor website that I was just visiting, and that was ages ago. It been the only ads I've seen, back around 2001.

All I can tell (like others) is that now, Graal's website is just ugly, and not related to the game content. I liked the old one way better, just like most people.

The website is a marketing tool, not a part of an advertising campaign. If people like yourself just said what they thought about the matter (like you just did) instead of confusing your words, then we'd get a better resolve perhaps? Who knows.

Having a great website partly shows how great the game is, I mean it would at least show that people working for that game DO care about the website. Seriously it looks like the website been totally rushed, and showing classic characters is totally annoying. Most people are attracted by very designed characters nowadays.

Pink is totally non graal related.

A good website has the potential to drive sales. Yes, I agree with you. At the same time, like with advertising campaigns, these functions only act to draw potential players into the game. If the game itself and the overall content is lacking in quality and content depth, players just aren't going to stay, no matter how good the website is. The current website sucks, and I agree with you there too, and while it does need to be more representative of the game, the game needs to represent more of what it can be and what it should be.

Graal is not a game engine. Go have a look at the website, and ask someone for a link to their engine's website. Once you've done that try to suggest otherwise, because the actual company is undermining your argument.

This doesn't even make sense in response to what I said, lol.

What are you talking about? You don't expand a hosting platform by developing content with it; you would expand a game by developing content on it. Perhaps you don't even know your own argument.

What makes you think that Graal is not a game engine? The fact that it advertises Zone, GK and Skills? Please, Rufus, be a little realistic. Playerworlds are the bulk of Graal. People use Graal (GS2 + GraalEditor + GraalShop + Graal Client) to create these playerworlds. Graal is very much a game engine. It just so happens that the company that made it used it to create a few games.
