These are just brief quotes from the player account Battousai90290 asking via support tickets as to why Graal doesn't advertise for new players?
"But yeah, I'm going to start advertising outside of graal, to try to get more players back. I just don't know how to go about that yet... "
Me: As a player, you shouldn't have to worry about that. But I know your dedication as well others, we want to see more players...
"Yeah, it shouldn't be my place to do so, but Stefan told me that he isn't going to advertise, so if we want more players, we have to get them ourselves. Pretty sad. "
"He doesn't care. He made his money, for all he cares it can die. He said advertising would be "a waste of money. if you want more players, help advertise yourself like Tig does "
There's part of the answer.
