Classic Graal for iPhone

[Admins]

We have already said before that it can be interesting to meet PC players with your iPhone/iPod/etc. but right now it's not possible (v5 bugged on the server) and we don't know yet if it's good (more lag, different controls, different communication etc.), so we don't really need to speak yet about such problems.

I'd rather play on the PC version at the moment, for some reason my Graal on iPhone is very laggy in the outside... I can barely keep a fight with a Baddie .

What can contribute to my lagg problem? my Wi-Fi connection? the ammount of memory left on my itouch??:/

Suggestions are appriciated :P

With the lagg update my lagg is gone. *thumbs up*

Good to hear
We have added an optimization to the gserver to only send updates to players which are visible on the screen, can be configured in the server options (syncdistancex and syncdistancey).

3GS users hold significant advantages. Will anything be done to balance them?

I hope not. That's like saying players with faster computers will experience less lag than those using slower ones.

I meant like adding frameskip support instead of blatent slowdown, to speed up the clients with lower framerates.

We're constantly keeping tabs on the player count while we work, and celebrating every time it breaks the past highest record (atleast I am ).

It's growing almost daily! I personally anticipate it to break 500 players within the next month or two (considering the amount of time it's been out, and the amount of players it has drawn in).

I'm amazed Graal can still support 300+ players without crashing .

I have traditionally been very critical of Stefan and even his aptitude as a programmer - but if there's one thing I can concede, and even do it proudly, it's that he is very effective at programming lightweight but heavy throughput control structures like the gServer and npcServer.

I'm not very informed on Classic iPhone, but presuming they allow chat - users may stick.

It's basically the same mechanism of the original Graal Classic, except in a different generation on a different device. Chatting could help form a pretty solid community, especially if it's easy and convenient to do.

One question i'd like to ask:

Will we be double charged when the final apps are out, or will a subscribtion be sufficient?

^ I have a similar question:

Eurocenter released classic+ today, it includes the customization pack plus the future house update for 1$, same price for the customization pack on the first app

how will we get the house update????
