If I ever find a magical genie (a scripter) I want to produce some single and co-op "missions" (quests). Additionally, I hope to introduce some smart bots to maps.

If you have a good domestic wife you have to be retarded to sleep around. That's the case here, too.

You don't go out and get new people until you know your current people are staying - otherwise you're throwing your money away.

The problem you're describing in this thread is not with Zone. The problem is with Graal.

These were just a few constructive complaints.
Zone will probably never be as popular as it once was with Graal Online. Stefan and I are going to try it on the iPhone.
