Yes, it's very hard to see the removal of free to play, the failed NPC server transition, and overall population decline on all of Graal as the causes.

I know this doesn't mean much but I would like to thank both Thor and Racil for their dedication and hard work. I know firsthand what a monumental task it was and both still tried against all odds. I'm going to miss my home and the one place I truly belonged but I know in my heart they made the right choice under the circumstances.

Don't worry Ranger, I'm not going to force you to become the new manager........ yet.

Rest in peace, real classic. I kept checking back over the years, hoping, and waiting. I'm sad that it comes to this, when all it would take is just the TINIEST bit of heart from someone with the power to do something.

My thoughts on this are that since iPhone is proving to be the better outcome for Stefan and his lot, they're leaving developers to die out bit by bit and to deal with stupid things like Observer Mode and ridiculous subscription structures hoping that one day they'll check back here and see that we've all up and quit so they can finally announce that there will be no more support at all given to the PC version of Graal. Not that we're getting any support as it is, but make it official and blame it on lack of interest from players.

That's honestly how I feel and don't think they're going to extend us an olive branch of any kind. Not to players, not to developers, not even to the global administration teams.

I like to think, based on their poorly worded user agreement, that should they ever decide they no longer want to support PC, they would just man up and say "you're screwed, users! It was fun taking your money"

IMO, PC has become a breeding ground for developers, even as they die off in droves. The ones that stay stupidly dedicated sometimes migrate to iServers, which is probably the main goal now.

This is exactly how I see it too. If developers didn't have to put up with PC Graal being an unsupported game with a pricing & restriction strategy which is akin to sabotage, the Stefan-led server ports (with such awesome cliff tiles :blush:) would not have as much leeway when it comes to significant unpaid development work.

In a way it makes sense though I'm sure if PC Graal was properly nurtured it would have more of a beneficial effect in the long run. Accomplished coders aren't becoming more common when the vast majority of aspiring developers have to re-upgrade constantly.

(No reason this thread should be closed whoever did that)
