I'm sure they could do with a Support Centre for the iPhone!

Because that worked so well for the RC, gani editor, etc.

That wouldn't be very useful to people who couldn't access the client for one reason or another in the first place.

Damn dude, of course they're in it for the money. Kind of an obvious statement...

I do think that there should be easy support though, so for the rest I concur. But this statement was just.... Duh!

If you had a game that was played by a decent amount of people, would you want to make as much money out of it as you can? Or would you rather live hanging from your nails?

Just because Graal has GUI controls doesn't mean its a good idea to make everything using them. In-game suppport center for anything but local server issues is a terrible idea.

Making the support center accessible via client? Great idea.
Making the support center only accessible via client? Bad idea.

We're at the stage where, if this weren't a fictitious scenario, we could make that decision.

I still don't like that we are paying like customers, yet are treated like coworkers that can't expect any official updates from above.

If the support center is buggy - upload a mantis or flyspray. They are updated regularly by the development communities and seem to do their job quite well...

A solution is to not put a potentially buggy web application on the same server as very important data and update it regularly to the latest version. :P

Maybe this is why I dont pay for this game anymore? Anyways why should graal players have to pay and develop things for themselves for them to enjoy?

Theres no common sense in that...Thats just like paying a company so you can work for them. Makes no sense, id rather have a game in which I get good entertainment for a good price.

Seems like we are all just throwing cash into stefans pocket and getting nothing back in return?

Because this topic majorly pisses me off im not going to continue with my full opinion. I can say one thing though, I will not contribute a single dime back to this game again unless theres some major improvements.

Trial for 6 months now and proud of it.

Yea that is a good point. Accessible by client is a good idea. Perhaps integrated with the server's local support services.

Yeah this was a thought too, as is those who cannot login!

Then they could make their own web based version perhaps? Who knows. Still, something other than e-mail is probably necessary sooner than later. One of the reasons they agreed to the support centre the first time around was a global staff took leave for whatever reason leaving about 300 e-mails unanswered!

Yeah, look, if they cannot run a web application reliably, I doubt they will manage a web application plus an in-client application in parallel.
