Imagine How Good This Game Would Be If Stefan Hired Full Time Devs
 
As in, he actually paid a few people to work full time on developing playable content.

Right now we get new content maybe every 1-2 years(besides cosmetics).

Just think how amazing the game would be if Stefan actually paid someone to make content. As of now all there is a bunch of volunteers working for free, throwing something out when they feel like they have the time.

They're probably making a ****load of money off of gralat packs, I don't see why he can't hire a couple full time devs, or even hire freelancers to do a bit of coding on the side.

it would be super awkward since Stefan doesn't work for Graal anymore :0

wait, Stefan no longer works on Graal now? Who manages it now, and what happened? But my point still stands, whoever owns it should really pay devs instead of relying on volunteers, the game has so much potential to grow.

It would also be great if you brought SHRUB back considering it was the first guild I ever joined

I really wanna bring it back, but so many core members quit. Maybe if we can get some graalians together to revive the guild and get towers I'll definitely play a lot, but otherwise idk. A lot of our core members moved on or aren't playing anymore, it's not easy to get a successful tower guild started.

From a profit prospective, if what they're doing now is making money then there's no reason to change anything.

I wouldn't be surprised if the quality of content isn't change drastically if payed staff are hired since there's not a whole line of developers better than what Graal has now waiting to be hired to work here. It's not a career that leads anywhere.

That's what I thought would happen with Minecraft...

p.s. stefan has been gone from graal for agessss now suprised people are only just realising.. he got another game/cant say pm if want to know.

With unixmad in charge, it'd probably be more or less the same. They might be making money off Graal, but professional coders/artists are very expensive. To give an idea, a small set of custom pixeled armor can cost $80+. This might be due to the fact that Graal is also purchasing the commercial rights while buying the art(this might go for coding too, but I wouldn't know). So, if they hired professionals, itd be probably be for things that make the game the same, but a little bit better; updated UI, new tiles, new large sellable item, etc. Stuff that are a safe investment for the game. Probably wouldn't be as innovative as you'd expect. I doubt they'd use paid artists for original, creative projects when they can get people to do it for free. tl;dr: expensive things cause safe choices instead of creative ones
