I don't know if anybody knows the facts regarding Graals Income, I don't know for anything for sure either, but I'd place my bet that it is the Playerworld rental policy which is by far the largest contributor.

It's depressing that some people throw their money towards something they have little to no chance of accomplishment with, just the other day a friend I hadn't seen log on for over 2 years came back (lets say he does not know how to script) and bought a server for what I recall being his 3rd time despite the previous time never resulting in the server even becoming a Development Project.

And then you get adolescents likely with too much money who would perhaps strongly believe that they can succeed, but ultimately end up wasting the time of new Developers and PWA members alike when acts like content theft and server destruction kick in.

Put yourself in the shoes of Stefan and Unixmad however, and you'd probably welcome this.
Although I can agree that this policy is contributing to Graal being killed off as a "Game", while this may be covering the costs right now, chances are Graal will lose it's income as a "Development Platform" through decreased interest as the enjoyment of the "Game" gets worse through unsuccessful Development, there needs to be a happy medium that allows Graal to co-exist as both a Game and Development Platform.
