I got on 2K2 and people thought my endorsement of video capture somehow amounted to me endorsing every single change, so I'll clarify by saying what I think about all the changes.

New website - ugly, but I hardly ever use the website so I don't really care. Even if the forums got infected by it, I'd just have to make a Stylish script to restore the old forum layout (for me).

Dockable Playerlist and other PM changes - Minor but cool.

Video capture - As I said before, very useful. The best of all the planned features.

Direct Login - I already login directly by using graal:// URLs in my bookmarks, so login changes don't effect me much.

GUI changes - As I said before I skip the login menu. From the pictures the changed GUI doesn't look much better or worse than the previous GUI.

Flash - Don't care. Maybe I'll be made to care when it actually happens.

Script Improvements - Isn't this just GS2?

Subscription splitting - Good for me, but as I said before, probably a bad business move. I'll only be buying a GK gold subscription and thus will probably be sending less money to Graal than I was before, and it will be the same for a lot of other people. I don't think there are many people who don't upgrade because of it being "too expensive".

Selling Zone items for real money (which is really what the gelat system amounts to) - You might as well be selling the players rope to hang themselves with. Anybody who makes use of this system is pretty much volunteering themselves to be hated. Will probably make money but not much. I'm not sure whether it would make up for the (probably very low, as in single digits) number of people who would quit because of it.

Graal skills - We already have this, and nobody uses it. That's not going to change.

New Playerworlds Hosting - I can't help but feel this is going to be a vastly inferior money-maker compared to the current system
