You know, I've seen the graal community flailing for 15+ years in the weirdest of ways. You have the ancient folks such as myself who want to see the game go back to its Graal2000 glory, you have some who think the current PC clients need to be open source, The archivists who hoarded everything all the way back to 1999 (but conveniently refuse to share anything), and the mobile/facebook gamers who look back at 2015 as "the good ol' days". None ever willing to work together to revive this godforsaken thing. I have no idea of the current owners' intentions. I was just a humble LAT who loved making custom player worlds.

I applaud the new beta, but it's still at its core a mobile-focused game, and the grognard at me hisses and swats at such a thing. And I can see where people are coming from on the PC version - they don't wanna pay money for servers with maybe 9 players max. It's just not the same.

Part of me wonders if it was just an accident that Graal got as huge as it did, but I hate seeing this game deader than dead.
