Again, i don't need to get "ahead" to see a useless room that will become underpopulated, and i don't care what new players think of me, besides after a certain point a lot of people hide there hours anyway :P

To be honest, theres no hour zone that has stuff you can purchase (Like heads/hats/bodies/ganis/etc.) so whats the point of wasting 2000 hours of your life on these zones?

That's the point if afking.. So you don't waste your time

Hmm, but the fact is, it isn't necessary to go in those rooms, and barely hinders the gameplay of graal at all. Besides, who said theres going to be more anyway?

They'll make more, because the average online time of iClassic gradually increases in time

Eh, IMO i think it would be useless to add more, its smart to stop at 2000 hours considering by that point, the player is already hooked on graal xD, i think they should make more pk rooms, because that gradually gets higher aswell.

People Afk for one, and only one reason only. They think that if they have 2000-3000 hours, they're pros. Here's where you go wrong. Pro stands for Professional ( in case you didn't know ) and becoming that is long long long way. You only become better by playing the game. Hours or stats don't effect that mutch.
Imagine the akward moment where you have 3000 hours and player with 200 hours Knows alot more than you of the game. Play the game! That's what it's made for!

I afk cause im to lazy to close the app when I leave.Simple as that :3

That literally makes no sense.

Why the **** does anyone care about their hours? At least when I play an actual console game it mostly represents how much the game actually kept me involved and provided enjoyment, whereas on Graal all it represents is who can leave their window/ipod running the longest.

Such a stupid, useless number. TBH if I ever ran a server I'd ****ing get rid of it. Also, hour rooms? Good going, whoever came up with that idea, so now you're encouraging players to AFK? Bleh, such a horrible development decision.

I wish I could rep you :(

Agreed, they should change all those rooms to pk and baddie kill rooms. I can hear the whinning already :). But in all seriousness, they should remove them, i really dislike how people basically ignore actual stats and judge people's "noobness" by their hours. I like to actually play a game, not ruin my battery.

Don't get me started on spars.

Well now i'm curious. What's wrong with sparring?

Nothing I just hate how you can hide hours but not spars. People some how think your bad if you don't have a good spar score. Some of us dont have a newer iPod that could handle it without lagging so much you get kicked from the spar by a staff member that thinks your doing it on purpose.

Oh, well i agree with you there, personally i wouldn't hide mine, but i think profiles should be more custom.

I made a thread about it actually;

My iPod 4th gen has like a 30minute battery.... And I've only had it for a year... I wish I would have known this>_<

But it is always plugged in, so that might be part of the issue..
I have never been able to afk because my dad shuts off the internet at night>_> BUT WHATEVER

That's your problem. Plugging it in 24/7 isn'y good for your battery. For some weird reason, my battery life has been changed only a bit. Instead, it does weird things to my screen by moving it randomly or not working at all for a few minutes.

I would rep you but I accidentally press done and only put I :/

Can't you sleep your iDevice whilst you AFK?

Hours represent nothing. In my opinion the only thing that shows skill is spar. That's probably just me becuz I suck at spar so I will naturally say it is "pro"

Yes, but it still kills it.

It's the constant data running on your device that is killing it. That mixed with leaving it plugged in for a long amount of time is the ultimate recipe for ruining your iPod.
