Lots of players play iEra. Lots of players play iClassic. Why not give them a reason to play both? Say there was a reward for playing on the server. For example if your account logged in to the iClassic server, you could redeem a prize on the iEra server. If you visited iEra, you could redeem a prize on the iClassic server. This is a great incentive for players to play both servers, and if you give them a reason to play your server, they may buy more gralat packs, etc. But so that they have to play the server for awhile, maybe they'd have to play the other server for a certain amount of hours.

Possible Prize Ideas:
iEra:
Classic Sword:
A sword1.png melee weapon
Gralat Bomb:
Exploding Gralat

iClassic:
Poison/Confusion/Fire (forgot name for it) Bombs:
Bombs that stack to 99 that are the same as their iEra counterparts
Some gun:
(that would fit classics theme though) that fires arrows
iEra Katana:
Does .5 damage like a normal sword, but has a little longer range (not much)

Anyways, post your ideas/feedback on this.

Edit: Or maybe some special hat could be the reward.

Tbh, thats not really a bad idea. Actually, it does tide within the two Graal worlds so why not!? Lets end the debate of the worlds and accept this idea!
+Rep

Chaotic 10-20-2011 11:51 AM

I tried to think of cool, iconic prizes, lthat wouldn't provide an unfair advantage over players that chose not to take advantage of the reward.

Maikeru 10-20-2011 12:08 PM

Maybe a gralats reward? Like 8000 gralats for both graal worlds when synced?

Chaotic 10-20-2011 07:31 PM

That'd be cool, but that could be spent and forgotten about easily. I love promotional items because their unique and memorable (one of my favorite thigs about TF2 is promotional items). I think they need some item to recieve as a reward.

Chaotic 10-21-2011 01:43 AM

Maybe they can have access to a special level on each server or something.

I dunno, post your ideas!

MattKan 10-21-2011 01:54 AM

A special platform at the edge of the galaxy with pieces of Era road mashed against pieces of classic road, suspended over a void of darkness, with doorways on either side that serverwarp to either world

Rexx 10-21-2011 02:03 AM

maybe a level that era and classic players can both access and meet up in to socialize and such

A gratlet prize would be better suited
Because it would be easier and less compicated to do.

First off it's a graalat, and secondly a sum of money is boring and hardly encourages anyone... especially not on iEra, that's assuming the amount you're talking about is perhaps only 500 on classic and 1k on era.

An Item recolour is easy and alot more appealing to the masses.

Maikeru 10-21-2011 01:29 PM

How about a classic themed crossbow that has the same properties as a pistol and shoots arrows for Era while in Graal Classic it will have Modern day looking bombs like this:
http://www.dulwichdivorcee.com/wp-co...10/02/bomb.jpg
Same properties as a regular bomb (or Special bomb if you'd like)

Chaotic 10-21-2011 08:25 PM

I like the idea of a bow that shoots arrows (like a gun) on iEra.

Yephenpeace 10-21-2011 08:41 PM

Hmm, i don't feel like explaining why i don't like this idea, i just don't ahah...

Lol, they are completely different servers, why would you get stuff on classic from playing era? That seems unfair to people who dislike era, or era players who dislike classic. Let's just keep them separate.

Chaotic 10-21-2011 08:47 PM

The point of this is to broaden people's horizon. Games have promotional items for other games all the time. It would attract a lot of players to both servers.

Yephenpeace 10-21-2011 08:48 PM

But i don't like Era, nor do i play it. Why should people who like it get better stuff then me in Classic?

Chaotic 10-21-2011 08:51 PM

That's the exact point of this. It's a reason for people who don't neccesarily like the opposite server try it.

Yephenpeace 10-21-2011 08:52 PM

I have tried it, and i don't like it.

I play and like both servers, whats there not to like about it? Both servers have there pros and cons but I only play iera more because of staff.

I like it all, except katana. Keep it the same reach.

Lanky 10-27-2011 08:45 PM

I think this idea is clever and could be possible for the future of graal, but it will definitely need more planning and work :P

Yephenpeace 10-27-2011 09:29 PM

Not to push my opinion, but i really don't think this is a good idea. I don't play Era... So why should Era players have better stuff than me on classic?

Chaotic 10-27-2011 09:32 PM

Their just a unique item, won't provide an unfair advantage over people if they don't want to do it

Yephenpeace 10-27-2011 09:35 PM

So i miss out on "items" because i don't like a certain game, so in order to obtain this i need to play on a server i don't like.. Hmm

Lanky 10-27-2011 10:44 PM

exactly. this idea promotes people to pay both games and prevents them from dying out...plus its new and refreshing :)

No, it seems more like forcing people to play the other server, if i don't like it, i don't like it, simple as that. I don't want to miss out on special items because i don't like a server.

The staff wants all their servers to be successful so this is a good way to reward the players that help promote both iera and iclassic servers. So if you don't want to do it, you don't get rewarded for it.

Yeah, seems really fair... I don't get rewards on the server I do play on. Seems real nice, definitely a gem of an idea.

Your using the word "promoting" very loosely, promoting would mean like new player's on era or classic, for a certain amount of time, will get special items. Not "in order to get cool stuff you have to play on a server you don't like". I think this idea is written by someone who likes both. Keep in mind many, like me, only like one of the two servers. mkay?

Chaotic 10-28-2011 08:51 PM

If you don't like the other server this is a reason to play the other, and at least try it out.

K first of all, I really don't care if I use a word loosely, and it is irrelevant. Second, the idea is to expand the graal community to the Era server. Now I myself am not too interested in Era, but the idea can benefit players of both servers or not. That is their choice, and unfortunately you decide to not benefit. Stop complaining, especially since someone is just trying to contribute into improving the game.

K first of all, it's 100% relevant considering that's what we're talking about. Second, I don't think the idea could benefit the game and I think people can make their own decisions whether or not they want to play the other server. The idea just seems pointless and unfair.

Chaotic 10-28-2011 09:38 PM

You don't have to take advantage of the promotion, it's not optional.

Yephenpeace 10-28-2011 09:50 PM

Lol, that's not the point. Obviously i would want free items, i don't want to play a seperate app to get stuff. People know it exists, it's not promoting it in anyway, it just seems dumb to just play it so you can get items on another server.

Thunderstorm 10-28-2011 09:53 PM

people would just download the other server, get the items, then delete the game
it isnt really fair on the people who solemnly play on just the one server.

To get the promotion content alls you would have to do is most likely play for a little not spend 1000+ hours on the other server

I thought it was "Gralat". =o

Cat612 10-29-2011 02:11 AM

The best way to promote both servers would be to implement them both into one app, maybe charge twice as much for it and allow a login server like PC where you choose between the two servers.

Laquint 10-29-2011 07:45 PM

What they should do is make it one app but have a portal as the main menu and it gives ERA and Classic server lists.

Oh sure... Like we need another Graal Server to be highly expensive... As if you're saying that iEra and iClassic are not expensive at all... e.e

What I'm saying doesn't have anything to do with increasing prices. They would have to charge twice as much for the app itself because it's two apps in one.

If they kept them both in the appstore seperately aswell, i wouldn't care if they did that haha

Yeah, or they could make the app free and make the servers in-app purchases

MrSimons 11-12-2011 03:04 AM

I like the idea. Although, a "gun" on classic no matter the style would probably ruin the game, Classic is more of a close quaters game, not distance. As for the sword no, we have swords already no need to complicate things.

Also Yephenpeace, when I first tried era I hated it. Then I tried it again and actually played a bit and started to rlly like it. U just need to get used to it. No one would be forcing u to get it anyway. Its ur problem that u dont like it.

Only real problem with the idea is I rlly dont see it happening.

Yephenpeace 11-12-2011 06:11 AM

It's not a problem that i don't like it. I'm quite content not playing it.

Uhh, you would be suprised. I was in GraalCity and started asking "Graal Era or Classic?" 60% of the people wh PMed e didn't even know what Era was.
