Why would you make all that stuff just to wait to release it? First impressions matter a lot in a video game in my opinion. You release the stuff, then make new?

Actually, this is the wrong view to take. You see, we could have spent even more time adding and adding, assuming what players would want and enjoy. If you start smaller, it gives us more room to move in different directions, so we build up a game that players love.

Most of the time, Graal servers are made in an ambitious, make-something-huge effort. This ignores the benefit of the client-server nature of Graal, since this allows us to create a rapid update cycle.

This approach is used in tech. businesses, where something smaller is created and then is built towards what customers want.

To summarise, it's a different perspective to development, where we dream big but start small and realistic.

To give an example, now we have launched, we've been meticulously combing through all feedback sent in which we are using to structure our update schedule.

We have a lot in the pipeline, some of which I've mentioned and some of which we will be releasing very, very soon.

- A new hat shop launching today/tomorrow
- A Christmas gift for all Zone+ members
- Updates to Iricia
- Vehicles for flight
- Leaderboards
- Squad PvP

You couldn't play era when it came out, lol. It had no pk zones or revives so for the first couple of days it was a challenge to get out of the hospital and past the 20 players spamming uzis at the doors, just to end up dying and going straight back there.

Most of you are judging zones current content to era or classics current content, forgetting we've only just been released, had zone say came out before era (era just being released) i think the wholse coversation would be reversed. Just stay with us and be patient and we'll slowly forge an experience you'll enjoy, this is only just the beginning with lots more instore still to come ;)

Maybe, but remember that it's being worked on for more than 4 years and were expecting better.

No it wasn't? It was being worked on as being a port as an iEra mini game, lmao. Also remember Eurocenter has released other apps within those "4 years". To say iZone has been being worked on for 4 years is a joke. If that was the case, then why just last year, was it being planned iEra staff were going to staff for zone?

As I've said, Zone's progress was halted when other projects required focus. It wasn't worked on for 4 solid years. This should be obvious.  

It gets annoying having to chase someone with the 5k gun because they shoot at you while they run and there also faster since they have push back so impossible to catch up unless you stop shooting and keep running after them

Let me translate.
It gets annoying when trying to chase someone with the 5000 Gralat gun as they run and shoot. They're also faster since they have push back (knock back?) so it's nearly impossible to catch up, unless you stop shooting and keep running to them.
That was hard.  

Yea i said somewhere i wanted to add some
Freeze so you run slower if your shooting while running  

Don't complain about the game just yet, wait until the noob apocalypse arrives!

Agreed, the server just fricking came out this month! How could you expect graal era to be when it first game out? I personally think zone is better then era by far already. No offense snk.

Where u even there when era came out? It was much much better then zone is now.

dude i bet when graal era first game out it was boring 2! It just came out!

Answered my question, if you weren't there when era came out shut up.

Revive was there on the first day?

It's fairly evident this entire server was developed by only a few people considering the lack of content and substance. This server essentially consists of a main hub city full of portals to planets that have really boring and plain levels paired with the most simplistic gameplay I can imagine.

I keep hearing about more content and updates, when can we expect these?
Also would you mind touching up some of those levels? They are really boring, put your new Level admins to work.

I feel like this server was rushed just so it can be 'completed' in time for the holidays. I am self conflicted as to whether I want my $2 purchase justified or to just screw it altogether. I was kind of hoping iZone could get me back into Graal.

Agree to the fullest extent, down to the last sentence.  

zone was just released you can expect it to lack a few things but after a while updates will come out more and in about 3 months you can play graal on tunebox on airasia and surf the web

To address the second paragraph, we have already released a new hat shop, Showdown and we will be releasing more today.

You can expect something new at least once a week.
