Dude, first off you have no idea what you are talking about. I was working for both Graal Classic & Graal 2001; I majored in Video Game Design after high school on top of my prior experience throughout high school, then worked independently in high end marketing & internet engineering, software, & game design for the past 10 years. I am professionally a top-level interactive programmer, designer, writer, marketer, prophet, & entrepreneur.

The amount of players on the server is besides the point; everyone likes to flail around here scapegoating, "BUT THERE'S PEOPLE NOW!!!! AND TOOOONS OF HATS!!! NEW CHANGES!!!! AND CHING CHING!!! EVERYTHING'S DIFFERENT!"

I've got news for you, looking at how Graal is now and was then—it reeeeaallly hasn't changed much so quit lying to yourself unless you were there. There were 300 people online at any given time at the time I worked on Graal; there is not much difference from appealing to 300 people & 4,000 contrary to whatever Donald Trump expert thesis you pretend you've written about the topic.

Creativity is about having a soul; it's about passion, inspiration, skills, and yes, marketing. I am not the same 14 year old I was, so this notion that in the past 15 years I've done absolutely nothing with my life just shows how incompetent your discernment is. Graal Classic already existed; it hasn't changed much, contrary to what people think. In fact it keeps recycling a lot of the same content, scripts & graphics (although there's a lot of neat new ones), and concepts without breeching the surface. The server is beginning to look a lot like corporate Disney Land because the developers have skills, but not inspiration.
