People work on servers because they enjoy it. It doesn't matter that their work aids Graal and they're not being paid for it. People do things without payment all the time - I didn't ask for fiddy cent the last time I helped a guy with a script, for example. It doesn't mean they're saps, it means that they enjoy the work and don't mind that they're not recieving a wage. Why would somebody refrain from doing something that they want to do simply because they're not getting money from it?
This would be a good argument if graal were still free.. everything you people work on is giving graal more money.....

The "gold servers" are what really annoy me, they charge extra for the hard work of the players. They even charge the people that work on it or else they wont be able to work on it.

You volunteer.
No one makes you work on servers you choose too.
Do you think the servers Graal run on come out from nowhere and are paid for by the magical MMORPG fairy?
Unix was paying for the servers out of his own pocket and now they want to charge a low price to help them cover the cost of the servers. Hell the money they make from selling accounts still doesn't cover the server costs, it just helps them with them.
It's not as if your even paying a high price for them.
How could Stefan and Unix do this to us.
Oh the demons that they are.
Spawn of satan, straight fom hells pit.

I dont remember saying that charging is a bad thing....

but charging for a game that the players make is a bad thing, volunteers usually volunteer to a non profit organization.

I'm not saying that volunteering to make a game is a bad thing, but it isnt good that you get nothing out of it... like something special, like maybe free access to the gold servers er somethin like that

And, he's giving the chocolate factory more money each time he buys it, too. Don't you just love analogies?

True. Also yes it may give them money but look at this:

Player1 Buys Account >
Player1 Help on Server >
Player2 Likes Server so upgrades to play server >
Player1 makes more things as player3,4,5,6,7.... all sign up >
Cyberjouers get some money from accounts off all players >
Cyberjours provide an online MMORPG service for all players......

And that chain continues but with different people, so its all worth it in the end.
