The VIP can indeed only reach gold servers Week-end but have a complete access on Classic and will have a complete access on all Player Worlds

I cant thing of any. $19! Thats dirt cheap. Its not just a game, its a game that updates all of the time, with new people, staff, and content, its very much worth the cheap price you have set.

It was a trick question. If you answered it any other way you would get banned .


$99 dollars, while being a good price, lacks convenience for one reason:
You have to pay it all at once. But whatever works.

Also the VIP+gold thing isn't a terrible idea for servers, but perhaps keep ghost mode for the playerworlds players can't access? It would let them see what's up with the mid-to-gold playerworlds and decide if they want to upgrade.

I can do alot at no cost. Not getting into real life stuff and just stuff online. I can design websites make mods for games. I can make levels for other online games my friends can code with me on other games. We prefer to stay with graal because its the First mmorpg we played. Which is why I keep my account upgraded even though I dont play. How ever my friends dont share my sentiment to where they wish to keep upgrading their accounts. They've upgraded in the past and they dont want to upgrade for something they wont be playing.
But thats fine you've made it clear how you feel in regards to people working hard to improve the quality of Your game we will be moving on to other things in which people wont be charging us to develop stuff for a server we have to buy then forcing us to pay money to access the server that we paid for in the first place.
For these reasons I won't be purchasing a server or continuing to upgrade my account. Once its expired I'll be saying goodbye to graal.

Obviously if you had half a brain you would realise I just came to this conclusion. I dont play graal but I do enjoy posting with some of the community here which I will continue to do until my account expires. As for the other things I like to do, I usually prefer to wait until an hour or two into my day before I start on various projects that I find interesting. Of course with your intellect and my post not concerning you I'm sure you realized this.

I think Gold accounts should be able to own a server to
Even if you have to charge them more. I was plaining on buying a server for my self and me and my Graal friend could work on it, but I dont think it could happen because I dont have VIP =(

Correct me if I am wrong, but, are some of you saying that we not online have to pay to get classic servers access, but also pay to make things for the game? Heck, the players created Graal, and they are the only people keeping it running. If you ask me, paying to play, thats fine, but all the staff paying to make things? Thats just wacked.

Fool! I only see 2 servers online which has improved Graal.

The reason this is being added is because Unixmad has been paying for playerworlds which do NOT add to the quality, rather drain from it. With this system, most of the crappy PWs will be eliminated, or turned into greater PWs, and new, superior ones will come into existance.

Now, the only thing I think should be added is making money. Not sure how that would work, maybe depending on the number of users, a group 1 PW can choose to "Go Gold". So if it has say, 200 players (which is very possible, and in my opinion to many) then the owner can ask to go gold. When they go gold, a small percentage of the gold account upgrades go to the owner. Of course, Graal would make more money then the owner because of the fact the owner brought so many players, a small percentage would become insignificant.

Maybe I do not understand this currency thing. But isnt a US Dollar the same value for everyone around the world at the same time? Okay lets take HongKong, $19USD is about... $250HKD? I think, but its still $19USD, it may sound more in differnt currencies, but its the same price?

Yeah, its the same when comparing the two, but you have to consider that their products might be cheaper than ours and inflation, stuff like that. So maybe $19 to us isn't much, but to them, $19 probably feels more like $35 to $40 to them.

Feels not the same, but is the same. Yes $19 US Dollars sounds or feels less than $xAUS Dollars. But its still the same... maybe a few cents difference..

I never said I did, did I? I've never been to another country before. But that doesn't dismiss the fact that every single post you make has to be an insult, it's annoying.

There will be a special forum to present its Player World.

ok, 2 questions before my account runs out
=x

#1. will this just be fore NEWLY upgraded accounts? like, it'll give you the option when you upgrade? or will already upgraded accounts be able to sponcer?

#2. does this mean that the only servers that will get forums are the ones that get 20 sponcers, and the ones in groups 1 and 2? i mean, will EVERY server in group 3 get a special forums in the PW section, or not?

that is all for now
=)
