Googi is right :)

This is just sad. I like the game and everything but waiting for releases and Bjorn to upload things and such is a pain. I hear that other games actually updates their servers once a week. I have a few friends that want me to go on. So i might just oblige them and say goodbye to graal.

I think this post speaks volumes. Another strong proponent of GK and it's staff now says otherwise.

Yes, but consider that in the future when the server is retired to classic status or otherwise, it's still not going to be any easier to fix then than it is now.

I've been reading what you've all replied and... Yes you might think that the game does not lack possibilities, but fact is, it does. When i was a newbie i thought "Whoa this is cool i can do blah blah blah", then like a week after i was like "Was that all?", i could craft, but it had no use for at all anymore. I could go to dungeons, but there were only two in the whole game (not counting the haunted houses), then i could get maps, which were practically the same as dungeons, with a few more monsters that i had to kill on a deadline.

Those are just examples, but i'd say the game does lack possibilities. Quests, good craftable items, bosses (And not just bomy lords), and such things are all contributions to a fun game. This is just an example, but how fun would say, WoW, be if all you could do was go to two dungeons, craft completely useless items, and dig up maps. Not quite fun, eh?

Correction...One major bloody Dungeon of pointlessness.

Actually, crafting isn't as pointless, but make said item, turn around, find a item you want to build off of it, whala. Nice little item for you're collection to later bless, or slap improvements upon (Diamonds permitting )

Yeah well that pretty much only works for weapons...but ppl want DoF's and up to do that with. There is no way I would be caught dead improving a flaming sword. The crafting is good for noob stuff but to get the good stuff you need to alch it.

Yeah, it is. But it gets people to play.

You aren't wrong, but even if those things had never happened, I doubt that GK's current playercount would be higher than it is.

I guess, but that wouldn't be Stefan's responsibility. If they send it to classic, they might even be able to find someone willing to pay to be the manager.

Maybe not, but you have also had times where you've known things would probably be better right now if certain things in the past had been done right, haven't you?

Regardless of who is the manager, it's still going to be in Stefan's hands, and since it has been like that, progress has really slowed greatly.

GK is long gone. Thats not even half the problem. Its that nothing is being done to fix it. Posting your good ideas in these sorts of threads is a waste of time and ultimately amounts to nothing. It takes really negligent Admins (and Managers..?) to let a server die due to lack of updates, whilst everything is being basically handed to them (Scripts, Levels, Gfx).

Maybe all of you will just stop playing GK, stop posting about it, and stop thinking about it.

[SayianOozaru]

HAHA. sam couldn't handel the truth. lol. but i basically said what mag said in his last lil paragraph thing...lol

that and that gks staff and everything sucks. lol. they've heard everyones complaining, and dont do anything about it. there gonna let it die, so you (players) should as well. theres no point in trying to save something, that the "staff" are killing. gk sucks now anyways lol. staff there are lazy

[Ravenblade1979]

Its not true that they don't care. Just that they are working on a ton of updates that haven't been released yet. We thought it would on halloween but we was wrong.

[jonnyrocks2]

Well everyone forgot, theres only three people that can upload said updates on GK.

When you throw logic in, they have to check the NPCs and such to make sure they work, then they can toss it out there, and pray like the old days of Plug and Pray..whoops..Play.

So honestly, while we can sit here and whine and moan over the updates, doing so isn't going to get the updates to move quicker, but will bog them down regarding moderating the topics so they don't drop into utter spamming or flaming.

I guess, but what you're talking about is GK going classic, which may not be a good idea to begin with, given that it might "push out" playerworlds like Maloria and Zodiac.

It doesn't matter whether or not the staff are lazy/not lazy/want to save it/don't want to/etc. The staff can't do anything about it even if they tried.

EVEN IF GK went classic, I don't see players leaving Zodiac to play it. They actually add real updates to thiers. GK going classic might only benefit the server by bringing in 20 or maybe 30 additional players daily.

The long-term player-drawing power of updates is hugely overrated. People log on to play the server, not to play the updates.

You're not considering those who PLAY the server and are limited by the current content (no new quests, etc).
