Make it non-gold

- 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.

1) Food is pretty mandatory spending, if ya get my drift.

2) Gas is not necessarily mandatory, but in this day and age you really need a car to get around.

3) A cell phone really depends on your social status/job/etc., although not mandatory either, a lot people do need them.

4) You get to have the game forever, and XBOX Live really brings the replayability factor out with some games. I'd rather pay for XBOX Live Gold then Graal.


I do however agree with you on how people are confused. The website has been dumbed down and doesn't reflect Graal in the least. Heck, their first website ever was better than this one. I liked it better when all we had to do was upgrade for one thing and we had access to everything. I think Graal is worth about $10.00 for a whole year in its current state. I just feel like Cyberjoueurs is just going to let the game die and move to something else.

What would you do to improve it and lift it out of it's current state?

It hasn't been dumbed down, far from it. That would be good (dumbing it down, I mean), making it simpler for people to navigate/understand.

Can't really say much about the first ever one, but the one that was Kingdoms-based I really liked, and it's what first got me interested with "THESE GRAPHICS ARE SICK!" only finding out the game was nothing like it, but still okay.

They should actually try gradually decreasing the cost of Graal, and if it does nothing (more players/subscribers), then just slowly bring it back up. In my opinion, trial and error will never hurt an online game, just to see what changing something simple will do to the community.

Agreed. Unless of course they are planning on spending the money they make on something which will progress graal and extend it to new heights then I'm fine paying $60 (Aus Currency xD) a year for it, but only if they are actually planning on spending the money productively towards Graal, E.g. getting a better source (the source is already quite good) or something alone the lines of that

If Not then make the price like drop a little (We are in a bad economic situation and a lot of the children's parents may not be so willing to allow their children to through $40+ dollars towards a game in a time like this)

Then post applications. And don't deny help and then post "OH, WELL, NO ONE IS HELPING/OFFERING HELP!" like Bjorn and the former staff did. I, and I know a few other people, used to ask constantly about helping, and either got no reply or "We aren't hiring" and then the staff posted about no help being offered.

And actually do something, smarts.

We do post applications, have you not checked the application forum?

I check it once a week, just to see what's going on.
But do you post in-game that you're hiring? Like the news feed? Or maybe mass message it?

There is a link to the hiring forum

- When you click on GK in the F8 Menu
- When you log on GK and the NPC-Server PMs you
- On the wiki

Maybe Tigairius you should advertise that your hiring better by posting it on the News thing when you log on?

That way no one can complain about not seeing it, because I'm sure everyone has a glimpse at the News on login when they do log in.

You do realize that all of those places are unnoticed by the majority of players, right? Same thing with the magical events website that Maroku is running, only oldbies and a random other player now and then seem to know about it.
