They aren't actually milking you. The source of the game is player development, or at least it was. If you don't enjoy it, then you don't enjoy the game. They are offering you a product, if you don't enjoy it, don't pay for it.

If you read the initial post on the the thread it highlights that there was no charge for shields and swords when the server was released. It has been what, nearly 2 years? so no, "if you don't enjoy it, don't pay for it" just doesn't cut it. Within those two years the players have invested a lot into the game, like people have on the PC server, so you can't just tell them to go away if they don't like that you're ****ting on them. That is a terrible assertion.

Why is it? I understand complaining and trying to get your point across, but when it comes down to it, every game is a decision on if you do or do not want to pay/play it. Pricing packages have changed time after time for PC graal. Actually paying to play PC graal changed, too. How is this any different? Notice how that is hardly talked about anymore?

That was probably did the most damage to PC graal. People complained, nothing really changed, people adapted, life went on.

When p2p was introduced a majority quit. Fair enough, need to get money from somewhere.

When Gold/VIP/Classic Lifetime was removed in favor of the current pricing, Graal was dying. Yes, dying. Playercount was on a global decline. It wasn't until Zodiac/Era got rid of trial restrictions that we saw a small comeback in players. It's been slowly recovering but that damage could have been avoided. You'd think the iPlayers would have saved the playercount but they avoided PC Graal because they viewed it (and still do) as too expensive. Only a handful actually bother to stay on Zodiac or Era. Few play UN.
