Be careful. They might just make one and put it for sale for $1,000,000.

But, yea, I'm with you. I'd buy one too, as long as it isn't ridiculously priced.

Sadly enough so would I.

This is what I mean by appealing to your largest demograph.
It's older teens here (and most over 18).
They need to start thinking about that already.

Prove to me that the majority of the population that plays Graal is 18.

Hopefully Unixmad has that kind of information readily available. He could tell us what the general age group for Graal is so people can come up with ideas to target this particular age group.

I did the best I can for the internet.
Lets look at the topics we TRY to discuss, the things we TRY to say.
Unix should have this info available to him, and you need to stop fooling yourself, it's getting downright pathetic.
If they marked above 18 on that poll I set up a while back, then they should be treated like they're over 8, because that's what they want...even if they were lying.
Get it?
Now, prove to me that we're all little 10 year olds who broke the rules to get here

I don't know why you are getting angry. This isn't about what age group frequents the forums (as in posting frequently), this is about the age group in which actually plays Graal. I would be interested to know myself, but no one should assume that the majority of the players are 18 or older. Again, this is about the game, and finding merchandise to attract players, not about the forums.

I agree, but I have had quite a few kids tell me that they aren't even 13 yet, but said they are 13 in order to play, so the information wont be entirely accurate, but it would be close enough, I think, to try to get some ideas as to what direction the marketing should go.
I think it would be better, though, to find out from members what kinds of stuff they would purchase, rather than just go by age group.

[Tyhm]

Yeah...it'll be a few days before we can get marketting data out of Unixmad, so in the meantime, let's just get a few proposals together and worry about which one to push to the fore later.
So, say our demographics (with sizes to be determined later) are:
Babies, sure, Graal bibs.
Young'uns (preteens who claimed to be 13)
Teenagers - and let's be fair, split it into
Early Teenagers (13-15) and
Late Teenagers (15-17)
Young Adult (18-21)
Adult (21-35): Shot glasses
-insert name here- (36-50)
50+: Adult diapers. Totally.

*Yawn*

This really didn't need to be split and make another topic.

Graal has tried this before, and it didn't work out. Just admit it, no one wants to wear Graal shirts.

If they don't frequent the forums, they don't frequent the site.
As for the forums, you know my opinion

I agree, but I have had quite a few kids tell me that they aren't even 13 yet

You should ban them then.

There are or can be a lot more options then just tee-shirts. Give some ideas.

What? That makes no sense. People do not have to have forums access to go on the website.

Ban people in game? Not only can I not ban people in game, but this doesn't even apply to this thread. I was making a point, and it wasn't about them being allowed or disallowed to play.
