Thats just Stupid
 
is what i said when i found out that they're now charging 20k gralats to upload a body, 10k to upload a head, 1k to upload a sword, and 2.5k to upload a shield. i mean like...wtf? your asking people to pay you money to contribute to the game...thats just dumb. i mean, when someone makes a sword or shield everyone can use it. so they're literally just handing you content which you can upload. but now you want to charge them gralats to do it? i can sort of understand wanting to limit it so you dont have a ton coming in but these prices are ridiculous. at least cut them in half, or better yet make it so only VIP's can upload. then make a small charge like 5k for a body, 2.5k for a head, 1k for a shield, and 500 for a sword. that seems fair. then when a person has contributed a lot of good work in the past, they can earn free VIP, and their future upload are free. this rewards people who add content to the game, but still restricts it so people cant upload 1000 shields without having to pay a lot of gralats. but if someone wants a special head, and a few guild shields it wont take 48 hours of constant farming, or 10 bucks worth of gralat packs. i dont understand why you would discourage sending in content, which helps you, by making it cost gralats.

It's actually 20k for a head and 10k for a body. I don't like the pricing either, but hey it's better than not being able to submit content. You're not really contributing content to the game unless you count people stealing the body and using it as contributing. I don't know why they're called personals since everyone can use them. Especially the shields and swords they just need to know the code. No one seems discouraged since so many people have various amounts of customs. I've been making and sending customs since the classic@graalonline system was intact. The new system is so much faster and doesn't take over a month so I'm happy. To be honest though I think heads should be 15k since they're something more players make than bodies.

We were getting swamped with crappy uploads that we were never able to catch up. The new system works because if a player is willing to pay gralats for them, they are gonna ensure they are worth it. We can upload faster now because we get less and more good ones.

It's actually quite genius.

You say that you didn't know about uploads and it's prices?
Lmfao.

yeah i get that, but why is it so much? my idea is for the person to have to be VIP, and still pay a much smaller amount. then if the person has good uploads they can do it for free since they are essentially only helping the game. i can understand wanting to cut back on the uploads, but the massive price discourages the good people from sending in their hats, shields, swords, etc.

and oddball i quit for a year and just came back. when i played last it was all free.

It's like 7 bucks to upload a head.

ITS RIDICULOUS!!!

You don't have to pay for anything, so you wouldn't understand. And the prices are much higher than they should be. I have a choice of buying 7 fantastic apps or paying for a hat on Graal.

hey you could make it so people that submit good work can get it uploaded for free, or cut the prices.

but that doesnt get Unixmad or Stefan as much money, and nothings forcing them to do it, and that could make gps have to *gasp* do alot of work!

i remember when Lollipop stayed online for like 5 hour uploading and trying to catch up on the emails. she cut it in half.

Tyler 01-01-2012 11:08 PM

Mattkan does have a point. For a virtual item the price is pretty ridiculous.

exactly, the huge gralat prices are discouraging people who could be awesome graphic designers from uploading their content. genius my ass nyn youve been in stefans ****ed up system for too long to understand.

I agree, I can understand why heads would cost a fair bit when admins made and sold them, but where the ones that made them and yet we have to pay for our on stuff. Now im not saying make uploads free, but it would be nice if the prices were reduced a little seeing as where the ones actually making the customs.

Its like making a blanket at your friends house and having to pay your mum to let your keep it...

They do... but that turns out into personal usage.

there should be reduced upload prices for people with VIP accounts.

lol and it's funny that it costs more to upload a head than the app itself costs

yeah its so incredibly stupid. it costs 1 dollar, or the 2500 gralat equivalent for the customization pack which gives you 55 and a half pages of heads. want to upload your own? costs 8 customization packs. i agree, we should have VIP only uploading for a very cheap price. then if someones really good at it they should get both VIP for free as well as uploading for free since they're adding good content to the game and helping it.
