You should probably tell him how instead of just keep asking, maybe?

It is, but a certain hacking group is all about graal being free, Content made by players being free to players.
You also need gold to use the forums, and just the fact you have to pay, even once (to get 'classic' status so you can play for free) turns away alot of players.

And an ad between every few posts might be okay

I actually wouldn't mind an ad in every PM window, if at the bottom, or on the side out of the way.

If Graal made one cent for every display of PMs, and on UN with, say, 70 players, every 5 minutes a player gets a PM and they play for an hour, that's some serious money.

You'd get 12 PMs, and at once cent per PM, that's 12 cents.

12 * 70 = 840;

840 cents = $8.40; and that's only for an hour.

Imagine there are that many players on for 24 hours. That's 20,160 cents. Meaning $201.60! And that's only if there are 70 players on. Graal has like three hundred players on at any time! Right now there are 540 players, not including UC playerworlds.

If each player plays for another hour, and receives one PM every five minutes, that's 6,480 cents. $64.80 USD. Not bad for an hour. And for 24 hours, 155,520 cents! $1555.20 per day. About that much, as right now not as many as normal players are on (near night time ).

I bet you Graal doesn't make $1555.20 USD per day right now, eh?

Per year that's 56,764,800 cents = $567648.00.
Half a million dollars.
Not bad.

Plus if gold servers cost money, you'd make even more. Ad a banner at the top of the forums and make even more. Ad a banner on login server and make even more.

Just don't overdue it

I would rather that money made Gold less expensive or free, otherwise it seems like a waste to me.

I already thought about the login server, and then every time someone server switches any stuff, but I figured people refresh the forums thread, change threads, or post, way more often
