Too much custom upload rules/expectations - 2

Are you all kidding... first of when you upload a head you can read the rules "NO HATS ON HEADS" so if you failed to read that dont complain about it. BTW its common since to know ALL types of hats arent allowed. Hats are the #1 thing in graal to express your experience and associations. The thought of it being "O.K" to upload a hat on a head is ridiculous. It would ruin the whole bread money for stephan.

:| no.. all im saying is the price for uploading my
own gfx is way too over priced.. to many restrictions for 12.57$

Here's how I think it should be:

By not allowing hats I mean the actual definition of a hat as in something going over the top of your head for decor. Things like eye patches, bandanas, sunglasses, masks, etc. I think should be allowed. Small bodies I think should be allowed as long as they're not so small as to where you can't see them or can barely see them. Same goes with heads.

The funny thing is... Admins have hats on there heads ALL the time, why should they be any different? Examples Flo and Vyse and probably some others 0: they should abide bye the rules also! -.-'

The reason they don't allow custom uploads to have hats on them is because it would basically be a custom hat upload as well. Staff can upload their own hats anyway, so it doesn't really matter if it's on their head.

Anyway, the rules make sense... They don't want small heads because it looks inconsistent with the rest of the graphics on this server. They don't want transparent heads because they are hard to see. They don't want heads that infringe copyright for obvious reasons... They don't want glasses because they are sold as hats. Regardless of the number of rules, there's plenty of character customization you can do within them.

They should put a chart showing the absolute smallest a body and head can be. There definition of small could be different from some of ours. Small is just too vague to go on considering players don't know how small they can make a body or head.

I think the main problem is price, its just rediculous I mean come on, cut off a zero or two, the price is insane.

Yes, it is an insane price and whenever someone says anything the same response is "You don't have to upload a custom head or body." We actually kind of have to since they almost never sell bodies or heads anymore for people to buy at a cheaper price.

I disagree with all the rules...First I mean come on you won't die if someone makes a custom hat anyway.....For ****s sake its 20k!! Thats actually a good deal for them...and copyright infringement ....Oh okay Pokemon(Example) Is tooootally gonna find graal and gonna sue just because a player made that as their custom look...and transparent head...I can see it clearly,I know somebody that has NO HEAD...its missing! And i can still see him...Small heads and small bodies dont fit graals graphics? So what,what's the wrong in being special??? And sorry for this little rant it was just pissing me off....

spades of feare · 03-19-2012

If i add a hat onto a head as a complement and completely made by scratch it should be approved its not ripping off a rare hat, and the price is already insane.

You're not supposed to upload a new head every week. I'm pretty sure for most people, it's a one time fee. This way they will get heads that people put far more thought into, rather than tons of crappy heads!

i know, but that one time fee is still a lot! put together a full outfit, a shield, a sword, a body, a head, and whatever a premade hat would cost. now translate that into gralat packs price. look how much it costs. its insane,

Also reduces stealing others heads. You have to think, do I really wanna spend 20k on this? Avoids the simple upload just to piss someone off

Head: 20k / Body: 10k
Sword: 2.5k /Shield: 2.5k
Hat: 5k-25k

40k - 60k at most.

2.5k/$1.00 ... $16 - $24

In reality, it isn't that much. But, looking at it this way, you would need to buy one or two $15 iTunes cards to get a personalized look. That $16 - $24 to get a couple hundred pixels on a server could be used to get 8-12 decent apps, 16-24 songs, or two movies.
