Lol it would be terrible on iPhone. Probably would have to pay to catch Pokemon.  

imagine all the pokemon game prices times 10, then imagine the only way to get money was through the casino coins minigame or through some menial repetitive task. now imagine have a "+3 monster slots" pack to get all 6 slots to store monsters in your party.

now imagine certain pokemon being purchasable, or some masterball being sold, or tms being sold.

players with a parents credit card would rule and get everything, just like in iera. totally unbalanced, but stefan would get his money, so why would he care?

yea, and im showing how if it somehow did, it would stink no matter what the staff did because of something they cant control, Stefan.

You know what, Higbey? There's tons of people developing on Graal even though they may not neccessarily get the best outcome. Either suck it up or deal with it, but I don't want to see you complaining about it since you seem to be getting your dumb satan ritual released just fine.

So stop being such a pessimist!

Edit: Just to bring this to a more personal level, there's currently 17 staff on the staff team at Stroseria working hard on a server that actually is subject to Stefan's jurisdiction. And we aren't complaining; we're working.  

well it is true that graal is based on zelda, but this is a complete different idea.

Nintendo would definately sue you no matter what. Even if you changed it, the idea of throwing a ball at an animal and "catching it" is to close.

Plus, you've seen how long it's taken to develop and publish iZone, so this is most likely NEVER going to happen.  

I'm sorry, I really got off track. I don't know how clear I made this in our AIM conversation, but this could really be an amazing server--provided you get good management to guide your team and good, dedicated developers.

Otherwise: Sounds awesome.

GraalOnline was originally called Zelda Online; back when it was just available on this java-based website.

But you're correct- Nintendo had them change the name :p
Where they got "Graal" is beyond me.

Graal is a lot of other languages word for grail. Probably a reference to the multiple goblet shapes in the tileset.  

Copyright isn't a problem because: The gameplay, if you didn't read, will be severely different, we're not taking any graphics (you can't copyright an art style) and other than graphics the only thing thats copyright is the names which i'm also not dumb enough to use.

Seriously, if Graal can get away with it I'm SURE we can think of a solution.

And I know it most likely wouldn't be my call to make, but I wouldn't ruin the game because some kids can pay and some kids can't. I've played the game, give me some credit.

Edit on the copyright: Digemon didn't get in trouble, neither did any of the other monster hunter type things. C'mon.

Why don't I go ahead and make a gym system too?![/sarcasm]

You wouldn't even catch animals like that, I'm not a moron.

This would be for the fun of developing, and improving skills. I'm not out to make some multi-billion dollar empire, just trying to have a little fun.  

iNana i was reading the previews posts and i was like " Yeah... i dont think he is that stupid lmao"  

Also, you can't copyright gameplay.
