I like the dev blog idea but I think everyone can agree upon that you should never post any kind of date, especially for Graal, when work is completely voluntary. However, a place where players can see a small portion of what's going on behind the scenes would be pretty cool, not just for iClassic but for all servers as well.

100 ap room? Nope, discourages PKing. Though the suggestions you posted for a shop (healing bombs, harp etc) are okay I suppose.
