iPhone Playerworlds

[skillmaster19]

Here is an idea on how this would work:

I think once the iPhone client is improved enough to be stable and more efficient, then Playerworlds should be brought to iPhone. There should be an app that connects you on to a login server (serverlist) and you type in the server name or click on a featured or "hosted" server. There should be a cheap subscription($1.99-3.99/Month) to access non-hosted/Paid servers.

In order to be a "hosted" server you must do the following*:
1: have some type of gelat shop reviewed by Stefan or one of the people he allows. ( So that Stefan can make his money)**
2: Have the server reviewed by a global admin to see if its quality is good enough and that the server follows the rules(no stolen content, no severly inappropriate topics, etc )

* You can only apply for a hosted server once every 3 months.(this will prevent spam)
** If a server does not wish to have a gelat shop for whatever reason, but still has great content, the server can be a "paid" hosted server.

As for the current servers on iPhone(Classic iPhone, era iPhone, soon to be Kingdoms iPhone), they will be "Gold" servers. These can remain seperate apps to act as a "trial" to get players into Graal online.

I understand scripting for the iPhone/iPod client would be much more complicated due to low processing power, which is why I recommend that the Playerworlds app should only be for 3rd Generation or later devices unless the client is drastically improved. While providing the game for people with 2nd generation devices would greatly improve the amount of people that can play the game, many people would complain that their app is crashing frequently when they log onto a server, lowering the rating and therefore scaring people from downloading the app. Also, servers may not be able to make certain features because the older devices may crash because of them.

Stefan, if you are reading this, please take this into consideration as it may be very fun for players as well as very profitable.
