Hello Everyone,

Starting today you don't need to be gold any more to write on the forums.

Enjoy,

Unixmad.

Matt · #2 08-23-2014, 12:49 PM

Cheers!

Any decisions made as far as the upgrade goes?

shrimps · #3 08-23-2014, 01:19 PM

Sweet, wish it was like this from the beginning, but it's a nice change.

lordbosh · #4 08-23-2014, 01:20 PM

Nice.

Jakov_the_Jakovasaur · #5 08-23-2014, 02:43 PM

good job!

i do wonder why this has taken so long though, was stefan deliberately holding pc graal and its community back?

JesusFreak250 · #6 08-23-2014, 03:02 PM

I just created a new Graal account to sign up with but I get this message when trying to register here.

yes unfortunately this does not seem to be working correctly for any custom/graal account or email which is not tied to a previously upgraded account

So they aren't free for "anyone". Anyway hopefully it isn't intentional.

Seems to be the case in a lot of ways.

Any chance of doing the same for the Graal Bible? At the moment I'm pretty much the only person contributing to the wiki and removing the gold requirement would surely help increase the number of contributors to help with much needed documentation.

I've never been able to log in to the Graal Bible. It always tells me I have the wrong password

You usually have to try logging in twice for it to work as it always fails the first time for some reason.

I just tried that to make sure (4 times in a row to be certain haha), and still no luck.

Strange, I'm assuming the username you use is Conqueror? I know the wiki has trouble with accounts that start with a lowercase letter as I have to use Cyan3 instead of cyan3 to login but it shouldn't be a problem for you since your does start with an uppercase letter.

NicoX · #17 08-23-2014, 10:44 PM

Graal is free to play, forums are free. why not making community names for free too? I dont think they really have to depend on that 300 gelats for a communityname

Hey those 300g's add up haha
But I agree with you.

The ability to change your password when you have multiple accounts on one email, now that'd be nice. Much easier than having to deal with teenage staff. Where are you Bell, plz return i need u

It sounds like lifetime classic was a good idea, what happened with that? Seems like we're half-assing our way back to that.

Tashkin · #24 08-24-2014, 12:06 AM

Great news!

Thank you.

rockstar · #25 08-24-2014, 01:05 AM

Nah seems more like the razor blade logic then the pay once logic.. For those who have no idea of razor blade logic.. its basically you can sell more razor blades if you give out free razors.. o_o .. or in our terms we call it the gelat shop.

Graal is a complex platform, I try to "free" maximum that I can but I need to resolve all technical lock

1) Will free Graal Bible so everyone can connect
2) Will free community names

Unix.

Imperialistic · #29 08-24-2014, 01:26 AM

I'm excited to see Graal Administrators more involved with the community and client now, it's never too late!

Will community names be assignable during signup? Or will you use the current system in-game to set them?

Tim_Rocks · #31 08-24-2014, 02:13 AM

PhantosP2P · #32 08-24-2014, 05:39 AM

Wonderful news!

wilikas · #33 08-24-2014, 01:33 PM

Fantastic

hopefully this'll draw new members.

Jakov_the_Jakovasaur · #34 08-24-2014, 01:44 PM

the trick here does appear to be that you need a community name, which usually requires that you have upgraded at some point in the past (and not allowed the subscription to expire before setting the community name)

it is however possible to register with account names from prior to the introduction of community names with V5 in 2007 even if they have never upgraded before
