Graal Free To Play on Facebook and Android

[BigBear3]

You mean I finally get something for being VIP other than Lizardon Mask on GK?

[Admins]

VIP was also giving access to gold servers at weekends and stuff, 4 years ago.

I do recall having http://twinny.vip.graal.net or something like that as well :o

It generally takes apple about a week to update their apps though that doesn't mean Stefan won't wait to release the update after its approved.

Stefan has told me the VIP subscription will be $2.99 a month, and include items. Seems like a bit much to pay for an iPhone game, especially when considering the game already has a cash shop. In my opinion a game should have either a cash shop/microtransactions or a subscription, but not both. I feel the subscription should cost less, as many more people will buy it if it costs less. Also, the VIP subscription should cover both servers (Classic and Era), there is no way anyone would pay $6 total a month for VIP on both games. Be sure to announce the subscription properly Stefan, or else you will cause many players to rebel/quit when they find out about the subscription(even though it is not required, if you announce it in updates as something like:
Fixed Crashes and speed greatly improved
New login screen
Support for VIP subscription

... Then some people may assume the subscription is required and refuse to update/quit. Be sure to explain the subscription well and make sure the players know it isn't required.

there still wouldn't be a Graal Classic on Facebook.

What's that word those involved with the iPhone server love to use to describe it?
Ah yes, it's a "hybrid" server.

The word hybrid is supposed to imply that it's a form of upgrade, or something being made more efficient, or a re-engineering, as if has been made better.
But I think in this case considering the fact much of its "updates" are from other PC servers than Classic it's more of a genetic experiment gone horribly wrong.
Sure Dr. Frankenstein would say "It's alive!" and call it a success, but that doesn't change the fact it's a monster.

Ever heard of listening and responding to your client's feedback?

Yeah, it's a vital trait for any business to reach any level of success.

Glad someone thinks the same way I do.

[zephirot]

oh well at least I have a cool guild tag
;_;

[ffcmike]

Don't forget having a Gold or VIP subscription allowed us to submit server screenshots to the website!

I can see it now:

Pay $2 and you can now submit pictures of yourself playing our game to our Facebook page to help advertise our game.

[Vimerge]

..And create global guilds.

[ffcmike]

..And be able to change your email address.

The VIP subscriptions on Classic and Era for iPhone:
- Gives one special item each month (which would cost 10-20k gralats otherwise, $4-8)
- Makes it possible to share accounts between several devices, you are identified by your e-mail-address
- Let's you play on the iPhone server with your Facebook account (must be registered with the same e-mail address).
- They are monthly subscriptions for $2.99 (2.39 euros). They can be cancelled at any time, in that case you can continue playing on your account, but only from one device (and not from Facebook).
- It's completely optional

I think the multiple devices option should be for everyone, it would save Xor a lot of work with account transfers and would be very convienient to many people;they could play from their iphone in the car and their ipod at home.

This scenario makes me the devices are permanently tethered to their respective locations

[Shadow5596321]

I think he was meaning iPad.

[MattKan]

Is it out yet?

And are they combined or must I purchase a seperate one for each server

[Fogell]

Hold up; you have to pay for Facebook? With what? Facebook Credits? Credit card? iTunes?

[Nonepwnz]

Facebook should be free to play, imagine all the players. And have to pay for becoming "Gold" but the Trial should not be as same as the PC Trials, with "free playing time" and ****, just make the Trials not able to have gangs/enter bases or have jobs and such.

[Fogell]

Pfft, why don't they just carry over the money we pay for Gold on PC to Facebook, I mean really.

They wouldn't make more money like that.

Well, of course it is going to encourage me to buy gold if they keep trying to make me buy multiple things with multiple payments.
