The 8 month gold bundle package is the previous price of 12 months of only a single server/option.
To summarize: for people which want gold bundle the new prices are the same or even cheaper (european players), and the base package costs less money (24 euro instead of 48euro/dollar). For people that were buying only a single server/option before it's now slightly more expensive, and the base package is the same price (european people) or a little bit more expensive.
Also for servers like Zone and Kingdoms it can probably bring more players.

It could be possible to display the USD price directly in the page, can check if we can do that soon.

Raising prices or alienating players who only visit playerworlds will not, releasing a steady amount of new content on a regular basis, or a complete overhaul of the servers and their dynamics probably will.

Yeah but 3-4 years ago 12 months of Gold was cheaper and Graal doesn't offer much more today at all.

You could argue Gelats but that's hardly worth the extra $10-15.

I don't know many people on Graal who upgrade to play both Zone and GK. You have the statistics though, not me.

Weren't the majority of the people buying a single server/option?

Maybe, but I don't think price is the problem for Kingdoms...problem lies within the server itself.

Would be nice, yes.

Slightly would be like 10[percent] increase.

Now it costs almost $60, which is a 300[percent] increase.

That's not a slight change.

(I'm going to go get Googi's percent fixer now )

It's about $55 for more than 13 months of gold bundle (if you take the 36 euro package). That's almost exactly the same price as gold bundle before, which was double of the single server option, which is not existing anymore. On the other hand you also get more, and you have the possibility to pause your subscription. It's not like you pay more for the same, you pay more (per month) for more if you are not a european player. I'm sorry but such things cannot really be discussed. We have calculated with what amount we possible can become profitable, and you can calculate what you can afford, but you cannot tell us to spend money for your playing time.

We have also said that we will try to improve the overall quality of Graal.

I think the topic has been discussed enough now for you to build your own opinion. It's better if we spend our time on improving Graal and not discuss this pointlessly to the death.
Any further questions please via PM.
