You're not. We're at least two.

Once we change Graal more to be based on item selling then we probably need to change the forum access somehow, at least give access to everyone who bought an item in the last few months or so. Right now it is not an option though.

Thanks for answering my question, Stefan.

Yes you would. It's possible to have Cyberjoueurs make content AND have the players still making content. Just become one or the other makes some of the content doesn't mean they have to make all of it.

I too enjoy working on Graal just for fun. I don't need money for it. Just some noob (Talon, TheFox, Darkenedheart <3) saying ooo wow cool, This is amazing is good enough. <3 you guys.

Also Stefan do have any time frame in thought till your idea could be true?

I meant if Cyberjourers solely made all the content.

Then you're the only one who meant that.

Who else will do it? I never said they didn't enjoy it, but they're not employees, it's not their job.

It's our job for as long as we want to do it.

You fail to see that Graal has absolutely NO advertising to even draw in the players like those other games do.
It's business.

In reality, it's not THAT much, especially when the community becomes large enough, say, 30,000+ people, who will use the "shop" to get cool items, and that would be their subscription so really, you wouldn't need to pay subscriptions anymore unless after the first month you see company financial rates going down, which then you can add on extra to what you feel necessary. But please, try advertising?
You could atleast round up a group of people to do some work that will make the item's for the items selling on the servers you need so it's not only you and the other globals, which can't do ALL the work.

I did before, and it is lame if some people repeat stuff over and over again knowing that it's just plain stupid. Graal is an online game that is partially charging for playing and also let players create their own world. We provide hosting, client and servers, support and development help. We don't really make money with playerworlds, and you could compare the situation with people that do their own website (and often pay for hosting and tools) and so making it possible for internet providers to charge their customers to get access to the internet and see the websites.
