i think the fact that graal has to rip us off to stay afloat says something about the game.

If you were running a game such as Graal, would you charge people JUST to keep the game running, or also make a side profit to help improve your game, and have a bit of money in your pocket?

Think of it that way.

Did you ever think that it's possible that if we had management that listened more to the customer and treated them with the respect that they deserve (or, at least buy), maybe they'd make that much more money and not have to worry about jacking up the prices for the limited number of players we have.

In fear of this turning in to a clone of every other topic on management, did you ever think that it's possible that the forum-base isn't as deserving as it likes to think? I'd much rather help those that play the game without constantly stabbing me in the back, while simultaneously demanding more attention.

Just a thought, though...

We aren't talking about Server Staff making new things and experiences. We're talking about the actual STAFF of Graalonline - you know, the people that get paid with REAL money. On large, a lot of great ideas are just filed away without any attention what-so-ever. And customers are, for the majority, completely ignored.

@ CharlieM:
I doubt anyone is BUYING new things for Graal - Hardware or Software wise. I haven't heard of a Server Upgrade in a while, and all of the Graal Software is written specifically FOR Graal. This is free, because it's the Developers of Graal making it, not an outside third party.

Neither am I. Though, server staff should be receiving a lot of the negativity applied to the Graal employees. After all, even if an update is released each month, server staff are still the ones that make the game. In my opinion, your endless rage ought to be directed at the ones that are responsible for actually creating the content you play on.

I'm not raging. This thread is about to be de-railed, so I'm just not going to go into it. .

the fact that we actually pay for this game whilst knowing we're being ripped off also says something about us. xD
