This is a topic which of course has been of massive to concern to many of us loyal Graal players for months.

Personally, I cannot see why management would not want to grow their player base. Surely more customers/players = higher amount of gralat pack purchases? Right now, I think we'd prefer this than any new content, because for half of the day, Graal's gameplay becomes uncomfortably rigid and at some points - such as public holidays and weekends - almost unplayable. Just today I witnessed multiple people in a spar, players warping onto walls because they'd move before level had loaded, items in shops not displaying / loading after multiple relogs, server knocked me off a small streak and gave me a loss because opponent resurrected and killed me from 1.5 HP. There are so many more...

Yet, all us players stick around because we love the game, love the people and overall we do appreciate all of the hard work you staff volunteers put in, but the server should comfortably hold 7500 people at minimum. I'm worried one day I'll go to log on and won't be able to because the server is at breaking point, and the very next day they'll be like 0 people on... What happens then?  

The fuller unixmads wallet is the happier he is , meaning he will not upgrade the server unless his income complaty stops due to the server literally not working anymore , as long as people buy gralat packs at the same rate he won't care. At this point I think we can assume he has no interest for the players experience , although many hard working volentary staff put hard work into the making of this server  

I also thought it was a server problem until I was corrected.  

well bye time to play zodiac cause that has much better server

If you like garbage balancing then go for it.

edit- actually just stay away from classes the staff dislike and you'll be fine.

Pretty sure it's more an issue with how Graal deals with data or something. In any case a server upgrade won't just magically fix everything. It's Graal that needs fixing and I'm pretty sure unixmad is looking for someone to do it. https://techmeabroad.com/offers/seni...t-toonslab-ltd

Interesting to see that was posted 5 months ago.

The amount of players in the level controls how far ahead the client will see other players. More players, less render distance.

It probably won't be until spring before a new lead dev can fix the underlying architecture issues.

Yeah. I seem to remember there one being posted here too but it's been removed, so maybe they've found someone?  

You mean something is actually gonna get fixed !! ?'  

If you want a Server Upgrade, nobody have to buy packs for one month.
Then unixmad will get some interest in Graal.  

Stop complaining and give me more bread
