It will also help the new hosted servers to gain players, and possibly be able to develop further to possibly move up to the silver(classic) tab.

Yeah! I'm right there with you - this would be great
My idea is to make
time accounts, based on the number of hours, a player is online in total on Classic servers.
Each player has a defined free playtime (e.g. basically 10 hours gets refilled each month - can't be stacked).
If a player wants to play longer, he needs to buy some online hours (that arn't too expensive) which gets stacked to the players time account. He can type in, how many online hours he wants and the price is calculated automatically so that by buying the more online hours each hour gets the cheaper.
Also it makes no sense for me to seperate Gold and Classic servers in two different price categories because it only drops the player count on the most expensive one so it doesn't matter if there are more players on the Classic (cheaper) and fewer players on the Gold (more expensive) ones or the same total player count splitted fifty-fifty so they could be
Classic at all
Development/Hosted servers should be free for all players because they arn't finished and maybe havn't enough content to provide to the players so that the players dislike to pay for them...
The development speed of them will be boosted too because there will be more developers online on each server because they don't need to pay for working there (except the owner) so that they will become finished faster to get into the list of Classic servers (where the players need to pay for exceeding their free online hours).
In the sum it will be a
large profit for graal because the
player count will climb up,
much more of the Development servers will become finished (instead getting bog down) and a
huge amount of varity will arise.
This could really help graal to become the best and most popular 2D MMORPG ever
