That's correct, and it is being worked on. Stefan stated recently that he's working on optimization. Currently an Android server can hold a max of 2031 players.

Will it be a separate server from iPhone players?

I think you misread what he wrote. He stated that maximum users on the iPhone server has been over 2000 and that he didn't think it would last another 2000 (as is) if Android players was on the same server. But he said he was going to optimize the server to be able to handle more

Most large-scale MMO's require a backend that's distributed through several servers and instanced to reduce the complexity of that distribution (And also for gameplay reasons obviously). Graal doesn't fit into this model very well, especially since the server that runs Graal is essentially a piece of trash.

Android server? o_o I didn't think the servers discriminated on OS/client

I tested a few android clients and it ran better than the iOS client in some cases (amazing considering the codebase was older and didn't have all the optimisations). I haven't talked to Stefan in a while though so no clue where it's at now

Do you have a list of compatible devices and Operating Systems? I have Jelly Bean, but you never know what others might have.
