If you want to compare the prices of graal to any other game compare it to another game which supports hundreds of players playing the same game together at the same time.


If you compare it to that. Graal is a very cheap game.

You took the words from my mouth... err... I mean, from my fingers..

How come Graal is so expensive? I mean, you can buy games for cheeper in the store and play them for life. Graal is $40.00 for one year. I'll pay it, but that might be a reason why Graal is loosing so many players.

It's because Stefan doesn't know how to manage money. He runs bandwidth for all of these extra playerworlds that really no one plays (which costs a lot of money), and then he makes 2k2, which totally bombs, yet instead of getting rid of that, he keeps the bandwidth running for that (costs lots of money), and then he has 2k1, Classic, N-Pulse, and Unholy Nations which usually have around 50 people on, and those are really the only servers he should keep, but instead he insists on keeping these other playerworlds up, that no one plays, and just puts a big hole in his pocket...

Servers that get barely any players aren't taking up bandwidth. Bandwidth is only being taken up when data is transferred. Thus, no players, equals no wasting of bandwidth. Plus most server rentals come with a flat fee of unlimited bandwidth per month.

Stefan could probably put up 100 playerworlds, but if no one is on them, they aren't costing him anything. P2P money is spent maintaining a couple servers that host 2k1, 2k2, and the playerworlds. You should really know what you're talking about before you make some big post about something.

but some pw's dont have the skill to do this

you need to offer assistance some how
ie: global npc team, global gfx team, global level team

theres global gfx team yeah, i asked one to help he said "idont help playerworlds, i help 2k1 and 2k2"

so whats the point?
if everything i put up belongs to graal, why doesnt graal help ME

I just thought of that..GFX team is global yet they don't do anything for playerworlds (or for 2k1,classic, and 2k2 either) I don't see them make GFX at all :/

Ah yes...that I didn't take into consideration. I had just woken up when I wrote that...heh, I know and understand that. I just wanna know what connection Stefan is running to keep Graal online. T3?
