Make it non-gold

[Tigairius]

I agree that right now the subscription system isn't the best, but chances are it's not going to change. I don't think moving Zone and GK over to classic is going to make any more money to (maybe) influence them to change the subscription system.

Subscribing should be as simple as possible, otherwise people will say "forget it!"
I can count several people I know who refuse to pay for Graal due to a lot of confusion:

A) "If I upgrade then I will lose my classic subscription!" See? This is what happens when you start taking classic subscriptions without documenting it well. Just for the record this is FALSE. You do not lose your lifetime classic if you upgrade to gold...

B) "I can't even log in on the website, it automatically logs me out" Nothing here to blame but the website itself for not handling the cookies well enough.

C) "It's too confusing" The website IS confusing. I support unixmad, Stefan and Graal a lot, but I have to say, I can't support the website.

These are the most common reasons people don't upgrade, it's not the price of subscriptions that's the problem.

I will list a few things that are more expensive than Graal that we do quite a lot more frequently:

- The average person spends more than $40/week on groceries & food. (This is based off of the friends I've asked)
- Filling a tank of gas lately takes more than $40 depending on your car.
- Things like the average phone bill costs sometimes $60/m
- A console game usually costs $60, how long does that entertain you? Sometimes 3 months if it's really good. How long does Graal entertain you? Indefinitely.

I agree Graal needs to see more updates and changes to the system to become more successful, however, making more free things won't help the situation.
