It would. Because you have no idea anout what the Android players are talking about and the same on the other way but you had to share the forums etc.

When they talk about players, admins and so on an Apple player would never know what they mean. There would be two different communitys.

Also the Staff thing. Every Server has a manager. And he can't focus on two servers. And if I was a manager of a server i have been working on for some years I wouldn't just tive the Server to a different person. Also Android players wouldn't have LATs, GFXs, SFXs, Ganis etc cuz the community would not know anything. So also no GMs.

How is this ruining a community? they don't share things, they don't even have to, but the community(communities) won't get any harm..

It's complicated. If you would put Android and Apple player on one Server it would cause a lot of lag. If you would put them on two Server it would cause that we need way more Staff which is also impossible because the Server-Manager can only focus on one server, the communitys (Graal Facebook, Forums etc would have two communitys... Because the Apple players doesn't know the Android players, they would have different themes etc. Just wouldn't work because the Android players would stay away from the Apple players and so Graal iClassic iPhone and Graal iClassic Android would become two different games in time and the forum would need 2 different main forums) and it would cause the Apple vs Android fight. It would ruin the community.

That assessment is ******ed  

Graal would get to crowded and laggy if graal was released for android devices. :/  

how would it cause lagg? i know a few other games that are both on android and iphone servers and they seem to run fine..

Facebook and iOS are on the same server so really whats the difference if Android can access it?


All they would need is someone to copy and paste the updates from the iPhone version. And if Android was on the same server then nothing would need to be done at all. Probably just app optimizations that would be done by Stefan or someone else.

ye i thought the servers would work like that 0.0 im confused..

Yeah really. What is this magic lag that would occur if there was an Android version? Facebook and iOS are on the same server so really whats the difference if Android can access it?

Bringing in the Android community would open the door for many people to learn about levels, graphics, gani'ing and such. It's not like people can't learn, the iPhone community is proof of that.

The Apple community is 4 years old. Try to explain new players what Levels even are.

If Graal will be released for Android it would be way better to put them on one Server and try to make the Server-Lag less.
The Android vs Apple fight might be impossible to surround anyways.

...
I said they can learn just like the iPhone players did.
Apple vs Android fight? I don't think anyone really cares about that in Graal.

What?... yes the entire game has to be translated from C++ to Java, but thats about it..Why would you dump adroid on a new server? Playing on iClassic server on PC via facebook (and later skyrider) was introduced a little over a year ago, and the same server is shared. Introducing Adroid as a platform would be no different. And the same "arguments" happen between iPhone vs PC.  

According to Stefan, Android hasn't been released because he fears it may possibly under bad circumstances maybe not do too well. We all know it's much more expensive to develop and publish for Android, so I hope you understand his hesitation.

Also, in other news, it's funny to sit and read the iPlayers sense of entitlement with shoddy excuses. It's like ****ing Instagram all over again.  

I honestly think more the players is a better community. The Android community is very flexible. People give games that have no potential or a little on Android. So imagine it for Grasp? Plus more the $$$ easier to update the servers to handle more than enough players.

Also I'm not a Android fan boy. I own both iPad and a Android phone and tablet  

If graal went to Android you would all become badass oldbies.
