PC Access to iPhone Servers

Venom_Fish · #1 02-01-2012, 07:03 AM

Since we're on the verge of the highly-anticipated and monumental changes to many aspects of Graal, I was wondering, instead of making separate iPhone/Facebook servers for each PC server, why not just delete PC Servers and open iPhone servers to everyone?

Ex. Remove Era and open iEra to all?

I mean, this would probably be lucrative in many aspects, such as, development, finance, and overall simplicity.
By having one area for each server, you magnify the administrative focus, the player base focus, and etc.

I mean, to be quite frank, it'd be difficult for someone to make the argument to keep most PC servers, when most of their playerbase dwindles. Only server that really does hold its own, firmly and consistently is Zodiac. Otherwise than that, Era's playercount is extremely unstable, as-is Unholy Nation's, and the rest of the servers aren't even worth naming.

Not to mention their developmental staff can't get it together, and they're overall more trouble than they're worth. Players on all these servers would MUCH rather join in the fun on the iPhone servers. Larger playerbase, more competition, and overall, just SEEMS more organized.

Just a thought though.

You provide support for the poison on a daily basis and know of their toxicity.

There isn't a whole lot of poison left.

Stefan has already talked about removing era and opening up iEra to all, so hopefully he go's threw with it.

Either way, I was referring to such a change for all servers. It seems so much more lucrative to focus everything through one medium. Remove the "iEra" label or "i" whatever, and just call the server its name. Allowing access to it from all mediums. That to me seems like it'd really optimize your player-count troubles and etc.

Furthermore, you can probably afford more technical support to that ONE server two, rather than having your attention widely spread throughout multiple versions of the same thing -_-.

But, oh, I wasn't aware... when did he make this announcement?

Crono · #9 02-01-2012, 10:20 PM

why dont we close iEra and open Era for all ;D?

nah but it makes no sense for the real graal to be so neglected, these iservers and whatever should have been available to all under one account. :I

Stefan said he wanted to make iZone one server (PC,Facebook,iClient) so I'm sure iEra/iClassic/iWhatever will soon follow.

PC graal is really dying. Keep it for development, thats all I think it should be there for. Mobile is the new PC.

Stefan said you all suck.

These forums are so full of "stefan says", wheres the proof guys!

Else don't spread rumors

This whole request seems to be becoming something of an ad nauseam. The reasons against it have been stated multiple times, if it was really that simple I'm sure it would have been done already.

The main reason against has to be the fact that PC users would be at such a high advantage to mobile users.
Why not try to utilize this technological advantage towards creating a higher quality version of the game?

It's also clear that while Stefan and Unixmad are (understandably) cautious over the fact that PC Graal is a player ran & developed game, who says this has to be a disadvantage?
It's something which does have an appeal to it, but isn't being fully exploited.

You do realize that "PC users" can play the iPhone server through Facebook right?
