The hell of the problem is that there is too much playerworlds, and 95% of them fail. When was the last time a server made it to classic ? A long time ago. Playerworlds is a large source of money for graal, but there's no solution.
Hence my reason for saying insurmountable task. I have to believe though that quality content would draw in more people willing to pay to play vs counting on a fixed income from development income. That in itself has dropped just as steadily. At one point I was checking over 102 playerworlds while last I counted it was 59. Thats quite a substantial drop in funds.

I get enough, thanks, lol

It's because we don't actually have enough people with the skills needed to create a decent server that want to work together. Everyone has their own thing they want to do, but none of them want to go with the same style of playerworld. Honestly, I think everyone should hop on the Crystia bandwagon, it's the only thing I've seen lately that has a great amount of potential that hasn't been done before.

I wish that wasn't the case. The quality of it would blow any current playerworld out of the water. :cry:

Pretty graphics won't help the server to survive though if they aren't developing content to go with it. I also have high hopes for it but am concerned with the lack of activity there.

I remember the old Maloria. It was fun, but it was missing the addictive ingredient. I see you have Deek working for you, I bet we will see a definite graphics upgrade. :)

How i said long ago...
Graal needs to be free 4 developers
i understand if people with skills dont want to pay for their own work

and James i think Crystia is dead
i cant script
i hate to gfx
so it will never be finished ^^

players are growing up and moving on with their lives.........some are grown up, but aren't moving on. most now have a family and important stuffz to do.

This. Yes. Win. I don't understand why they expect us to pay them to develop. This is why we need GS2 support offline.

You're really good at graphics, it sucks that you hate it. I wish I had half your talent.

It would at least be nice if developers didn't have to upgrade to gold to work on a server. Playing I can understand, but it's really counter-productive to require that for the developers, too. I've had a few talented people turn me down for the sole reason of not wanting to buy Gold !pissed!

I don't know how many posts I've read about people saying:
"Yes, we need to work together." "We gotta stop making our own servers and start working on the allready existing servers."
Yet, THOSE people doesn't even do it.
If they don't start, WHO WILL START?

MiniOne 02-10-2009 10:14 AM
Actually thats a great idea, downsizing graal :D why didn't anyone think of that earlier, and i agree with Bell hopefully there getting this money for something that will give Graal a 'Boost' and not just giving it all themselves cause their greedy :D
