Graal Free To Play on Facebook and Android

[iBreez]

I just got a wonderful idea, to integrate PC, Facebook, and iPhone clients.

I dunno if you guys think it's a good idea, but maybe Thor's Classic server could be integrated into the Facebook/iDevice Servermap under the name of PC Classic, or Graal Adventure or something like that.

It would be a win-win situation.
Newbies on iPhone and Facebook would understand what Graal is supposed to be truly like, and experience a rich production (What Thor wants).
Unixmad and co. would get money by people paying for VIP/Gold so they can access the server without the severley limited Trial 5 hour limit on PC or no access at all on Facebook/iDevice without VIP.
Would I pay 3$ to access Thor's Classic with about 100+ people on my iPhone? Yes.

I simply think they should scrap Gold and implement the gralat/VIP system into PC, so all the clients can be interconnected.

I would rather not be associated with those versions of Classic, it's not even worth explaining how or why they are so different, they simply were never meant to be similar.
But even if that was to happen Classic's systems are entirely scripted rather than built-in, it would probably fry an iPhone.
Facebook however is a good possibility to aim for as Graal the Adventure.

Meh that's true about the iPhone, but I really want your server to get popular so it has players to play the card game with and spar.
I'm sure facebook players would enjoy Graal the Adventure because of all the cool features on it, and real quests

PC Classic becoming Graal the Adventure on Facebook was actually something Stefan suggested on RC a few months ago, though I'm not sure if he was being serious or just attempting to coax us into helping iPhone/Facebook obtain new content. This was something I was willing to negotiate over and was even emailed by Unixmad but I received no further response.

Yeah... They really want you, because you're doing a beautiful job on the classic server, and the fact that you're almost literally 1-manning the whole server is amazing. I'm sure that's why they want you, is because you could give alot of content that the players want. They've been BEGGING for quests and new things to do on Facebook/iDevice Graal (era iphone delivers all of this because it is well developed by my standards,events, new guns, new minigames, great development staff from the get-go).
Try to contact them again and again. Hopefully you guys can work out something to get Graal the Adventure on Facebook, the community would LOVE it.

It's not something I would want to happen any time soon anyway, the fact is Classic is not yet ready to re-emerge on PC Graal.
I'd rather have it in a complete state offering enough things to do for new players, and enough end-game activity's for existing players so that it's capable of sustaining itself long term rather than just being a gamble that people will stay loyal to it for reasons external from the game itself.

We've been working on it from scratch for almost 2 years now and it's still some time off, but there's light at the end of the long tunnel. It is the next quest after the one we are currently working on that has always been our goal to shift the focus from questing and onto community based content in preparation for going live.
