I can put it in a non-sarcastic way too:

It's a bit sad that nothing happened, to support the main foundation of this game - the private playerworlds. The hosting is expensive and the devtools are antiquated, so that development is unnecessary uncomfortable and time-intensive.

At a time, where Graal has to compete with a overwhelming count of free to play games, Ghost Mode or any Trial-Limitation seems to be nonsense, as they are uncomfortable to play. Maybe, that was still okay when you mostly had to pay for your full price games or mmorpg's, but in current time it seems to be out of place.
Additionally, there are are no options for the developers to get anything back for their work - it could be so easy, and could generate a fair amount of income for the game. Additionally, it could provide a reward to the servers team - an option could be, to provide Free Gold or Playerworld Hosting Options to people who are contributing to the sucess of this game.

Yet this year we have nearly seen nothing - only the release of v6, which was languishing for years. And as v5 is still somehow around, some options still can't be used. The iPhone and Facebook versions are probaply nice sources of income, but they do nothing to prevent the exodus of developers or other PC Graal Players.

So, do you plan any kind of change, or will it go on like this?
