I guess I just coded a new state purchasing and inventory system for nothing then!

well you could've mentioned inventory ):  

Pretty sure this goes against some of apple's terms and conditions but w/e

can someone please describe what this "update" even did? because i haven't noticed any changes and my left arrow key is still broken.

From what I've gathered they just changed the way the app was built under the hood with the app now being 64-bit as opposed to 32-bit. I'm not actually sure what effects this has in the world of apple apps but it doesn't really have any effect over the content you see and play.

I'm not sure what the fuss is about. Graal already had good reviews so it's not like it is trying to counteract negative reviews. Just when you update an app it starts you with a new slate so the idea is to get people reviewing. Also I'm pretty sure the term "great" refers to the quality of the review, not of the game.

Also anyone using this as a basis for how often graal gets updated is being stupid. The app itself doesn't need to be updated to deliver new content. "lol this just proves how little the game gets updated when is the last update? Years ago!!!" What about castle, house templates, capsule machines, box fort, state contest(and new system)?

I also find it funny when people act like the lack of updating the app means that an online server for a game never gets content. Updating apps to add content is for single player games. updating an app for an online game means improving the server itself not the content of the server.  

Not sure if this is 100% what they are doing

Section 3 Business

"If we find that you have attempted to manipulate reviews, inflate your chart rankings with paid, incentivized, filtered, or fake feedback, or engage with third party services to do so on your behalf, we will take steps to preserve the integrity of the App Store, which may include expelling you from the Developer Program."

I guess they are incentivizing their users with some in-game rewards, if they leave a "great" review
I've seen a lot of apps offer "gems" and other types of currency if they leave a review, but never seen one hold a contest giving prizes towards "great" reviews.
People will 5 star, because they want to win what the game is offering, thus helping the app climb the ranks with incentivized reviews.

That doesn't seem to be the case

That's good, I don't think they'd have a problem then. Most importantly, they established the part where you can still gain prizes even if you rate 1-2 stars.

Aside from the guild system not being updated. The game still succeeds as a social platform, and at killing time by doing other relatively peaceful tasks.

I strongly doubt that it will be 'random' and probably(if at all) will only award prizes to those who gave 4-5 star glowing reviews

Common, why be so skeptic about this. They already said its going to be random. So they probably going to do the whole name taking and spin thing to choose winners. Right?
