Now that Air Asia sponsors iClassic, maybe Gralat Packs should be cheaper as they need less money to fund the servers! *hint hint*

Pft, not if a unixmad has anything to do with it.

Isn't it plain obvious, he did it to attempt to get more people playing=more money + continue with regular hat updates vip and vip recoloured morphs, he doesn't need to change anything as the players themselves are keeping the server running smoothly.

Ask any player the reason they stay playing, answer will be: either they play when bored or stay because they chat with there ingame friends.
Graal will never change unless this changes^ + they all decide to quit but that isn't going to happen.

(I'm assuming this was an advertisement that Eurocenter was compensated for and not Stefan just being cute about the map)

Personally, I'm proud of Stefan for venturing on to companies to uniquely advertise their product. I'm all about small businesses and kick starter companies like Graalonline iPhone creating revenue through clever forms of advertisement. If it keeps going, it COULD mean cheaper gralat packs for anyone interested (probably not but who knows).

I can relate... When I was in college I worked for a kickstarter website for my university. By means of chalking the campus with riddles and odd creatures, we became the top campus in sign ups vs 49 other campuses that joined the website. The website became self sustaining for college campuses. The next phase was getting local businesses to advertise on the website and for any events we had (guitar hero competitions, etc)... It was pretty fun, but not easy. It felt great getting a sponsor in order to keep the company going strong so we were able to continue to host awesome events (flash mobs, pizza parties, etc...). It's called business. I'm sure when you youngins are out of school as well as your folks' homes (hopefully) and have to figure out your own way to make a paycheck that you'll appreciate it and understand it a lot more instead of complain and think it's destroying some kind of personal moral code you think exists or matters. It's just a ****ing balloon with a name on it. Jesus.

The ironic thing here is while you guys are talking about it, is getting what it was aiming for: Attention. Great work!

The next time I go Asia, I'll even consider them.

Edit subject: Air Asia = *not pointless

Exactly.

I think most of us are just complaining about how ugly it looks, not the fact that it's advertising or that it exists.

I might be a slowpoke here, but AirAsia planes offer Graalonline to play during flight?

If so... Freaking BAD ASS!

There's a 4 page thread about how UGLY one graphic is?

...mother of god.

Ok, I admit, that's pretty nice.

Wait.. Online game.. Played on a plane...flying over Asia?


That must be laggy as heck..

Do you have any idea what they're actually doing? All I know right now is that if you google "Air Asia Graal" or "Air Asia Classic" this thread pops up, so it seems a little far fetched.

Lol. I want to send a email to the manager of air asias sponsorship and tell them to google that so they see the top results include the playerbase hating it

I'm curious on why iClassic picked a Hot Air Balloon as the mode of transportation and not some other contraption.

Delteria has a Hot Air Balloon that can take you to multiple places on several gmaps. It's great!

SERVERAL gmaps? Wow. And I already thought delteria was huge!

The animation and work put into it to make a 'Hot Air Balloon' is minuscule (2 second animation of it that just goes up, changes level, and shows it going down) compared to making something that would have actually taken effort and been cool/impressive.

Typical Classic then.

Can't wait!
