Nonetheless who's to say that PC servers couldn't increase their playercount by several orders of magnitude if for instance Graal were to launch on Steam? Most of the decent scripters on mobile Graal began on PC Graal, are they going to script on mobile Graal forever? Who is going to replace them if PC Graal continues to be locked in a basement dungeon a la Joseph Fritzl? |

PW generates no money PW has a small playerbase PW is way too outdated (though they're responsible for this). Would you focus on a business for only max. 300 players or for a business with atleast 4500? |

A 12 month Gold subscription has cost as much as $50 depending on fluctuating currency conversion rates. In fact the price which is still listed on the Graal website currently works out at just above $40, even though the need for a subscription was removed in late 2013 and the game is practically abandoned by Graal management. The website is essentially asking $40 for a community name, and even one of those can be retrieved for free either by emailing Xor or via script exploit. A community name doesn't even allow you to register an account on the official Graal forums anymore either. I bet if the website was updated to sell a community name explicitly for a nominal fee, it would make at least a tidy sum over the course of a year. "How do I make a name?" is a question I get asked a lot. |

If we made a flow chart to show how one of Graal's problems lead to others, I would say PW being outdated is a predecessor, therefore a cause of little to no revenue & a small playerbase. |

Graal died when Classic was forced into converting to GS2 ten years ago. A policy that wasn't enforced anywhere else and later abandoned. Blame Master Storm, and Stefan for removing a server and alienating hundreds of players.
