Have you played the iPhone/iPod touch version? Getting some feedback is always important, especially since there are no hardware buttons.

Fair enough, however like I said really a small thing, not like it's game-breaking or something anyways.

Ya, icons should change to reflect their purpose. If you're holding an object and can hide under it, the weapon buttons should change to show you can hide under the object, and sword/grab button should change to show you can throw it. These are the sort of things new players probably won't figure out by themselves very. Could probably just use the text 'throw' and 'hide', however.

I downloaded it, and played for a little while, but was quickly bored out of my mind and logged off. I can especially see this being a problem for newer players who have never experienced Graal on the PC. What is there to do?

I'm truly hoping that this is not as far as you plan to go with this app, so perhaps you should add a little disclaimer noting that more updates are planned. We don't want to scare away all the potential customers with this clearly rushed application. A few suggestions:
  • A help screen which explains the important things in the game before playing.
  • A map would be fantastic. Especially if it had landmarks on it or even player heads.
  • The game is advertised for chatting, but it doesn't really make chatting an easy thing to do. Being able to see who is online, much like the PC-version's F7 player list, would be great. If you're worried about people sending messages to people who are not their friends, an ignore or even "hide myself on the playerlist" feature would solve that.
  • I received a PM from a friend while I was fighting someone and it just popped up covering the entire screen. Perhaps a notification that I have a PM waiting so that I can navigate to it myself would be better.
  • People were spamming bombs like crazy, and eventually it started to lag me. You should either limit the number you have and make players purchase/find them, or add more of a delay between placing them.
  • And of course -- quests, spar system, or something to do

At the end the buttons are still mapped onto keys (D) That's why the bush hiding works. We will make it so that it's displaying the gralat amount when you pick it up.

Well the reason I said (E1) and (E2) was because.. well there is no (D) key on the iPhone.

Wow, with all the effort put into providing feedback when pushing the grab button, you think there would've been more thought put into the overworld and when to release.

On Graal, it seems the best things are made by the community when given full control over all aspects of a server. Perhaps the iPhone servers should be a bit more open for development. I for one would certainly help create a better playerworld.

We plan that Graal server owners / staff can request to warp to their server with the Classic client, so they can get some taste of how their server can work on the device.

I agree with what most of the other players said. Personally, I'd rather see some kind of basic Era adaptation of it, since I think it'd be more appealing/fun, but it's really not bad at all. The problem right now isn't so much the iPhone client as it is the content in the game.

Yeah, make an Era spinoff named Era: London. It'll be a smash.
