Ever heard of backups?
I originally found graal back in 2001 when a guy mention about it on the last day of Last Kingdoms which was a mmo. Basically the game wasn't so popular in the states as it was in some asian countries and because of this the game developers stopped patching updates to u.s servers and therefore the u.s host decided to end his contract.
Regardless we had 1k supporters in the u.s it still was shut down.. If it happens to graal which i highly doubt it would because graal did loose more players way back when accounts went p2p on pc.
