Do you think Stefan/Cyberjouers will let Graal PC die?

Cookie Xanadu · 03-04-2013

Hello peoples. I'm just curious as to how many of you think that Graal PC will die out soon? As it stands, Graal gets about 150-220 players at peak times. From what I hear, iGraal gets much more than that at any given time. Then there's the problem with Zone which will eventually get removed. What do guys think?

Nope

Thallen · 03-04-2013

Doubtful, the expenses required to keep it running have to be very small. It's as good as dead though, unless you play Era or Zodiac.

Zay · 03-04-2013

Nope

It's already just this close to completely dead anyway IMO. If its been this way for this long, I'd say its being kept alive by Stefan as much he can.

Though it'd look less dead if perhaps the players already on didn't repel everyone new. On Era PC, nothing but ******s that only wish to use you for free and easy kills, make playing just too hard for you. On Kingdoms, nothing but the most unhelpful bunch of afk'ers sitting around( as well as a bug that prevents completion of the tutorial that still ain't fixed .-.)

He won't work with UN to allow them to remove observer mode, and he wouldn't work with Classic PC either.

They don't care too much about the PC platform anymore, all the money is coming from iPhone players now. At least he's keeping it up and running, least he can do :/

From what I've heard, he won't work with Tenchry to help get Zone back on its feet either.. If Stefan put some money into advertising Graal PC, I'm sure it would bring in some new players.. Right?

As much as i think it won't die, I wish it did. They got to fix so many issues.. Login won't work for me, it's low player count, and he makes next to nothing on it.. Stephan should start working really hard on iPhone. I hope to see Wild West, Kingdoms, and UN by at least 2015.

It isn't Stefan that works on those servers bud.

It's the volunteer PC players that took the time to learn how to develop that end up working on it on their spare time that do.

Stefan's done many things to help alleviate the problems and a huge focal point people tend to think is because of the "Graal Observer Mode" deal. Though it's dumb, without it PC players would in no way pay for anything else. Hats and such are all acquirable through in-game currency and such.

Blame is put all on that one reason and frankly, theres more reasons as to the decline of Graal PC than that. Nonetheless, it NEEDS to stay if Graal ever plans on trying to push forward more servers made by pure volunteers like Delteria.

MrSimons · 03-05-2013

Soon? no, I think the way it is it may be able to survive a 5-10 years, but it'll definitely go out before iPhone

Matt · 03-05-2013

Too late, PC graal has been dead for years. I don't see Stefan or Stephane making pc graal a priority again, money talks and the iDevce community brings in money.

Infernus Lapse · 03-05-2013

In the future, I see graal moving entirely to mobile platofrms, and on pc only as another means of access and administrator use.

fp4 · 03-05-2013

It's going to continue on its current state (I consider dead as 0 playercount) until unixmad finally decides to make a change. The existing playerworlds developers will decide whether it sinks to 0 or not.

On Zodiac we're getting closer to releasing a big update (Terrum) to end our content drought, and with that update I also plan to make the server more accessible to new players which should help get us back on our feet and in turn help keep playercount up on the PC servers.

I think the PC platform could be way more approachable (for new players and developers) if they didn't neglect it as much as they do. At least there's Zodiac and Era where new players can play as a Trial without that many restrictions though.

Azraelite · 03-05-2013

Yea, Zodiac and Era are the servers with most of the PC Player.. UN, Graal Classic PC and Valikorlia are dead now. I mostly play Zodiac, because there is a lots of players, it's a nice servers with good developers. But yea Graal PC mostly died, sadly.
