um the iPhone app isn't an mmo or anything close to the real Maplestory on PC

Explains alot...

I understand why mostly little kids play graal because they don't get access to a computer without their parents watching or something.

No... Its because the little kids don't know what the hell is the PC version of Graal at all... Pretend its like you found it randomly in the app store for the first time and you decided to play it..

and also if there is a lack of updates and things to do stop playing so damn much! You're lifes fulfillment shouldn't depend on things to do in graal, if you're bored with a game stop playing it.

But isn't that what people always want in an MMO game? More content to keep them busy? More quests? More items? More activities?

Thats why people keep begging and admins keep giving... Because people want more content! Even though you released an update or not, it can get really boring sometimes and people would ask for something new...

But its not what the updates have to offer... Its just those who don't like content that goes to a specific part of the game (PK,Spar,Events) and thats alot of people... But do realize that it takes time to get this content done and tossed into the public...

Without Updates, lets just say that Graal would have been finished quickly before you know it... Because thats one of the main parts of the game imo

But I made that comment because Graal generally doesn't release major updates on a constant basis and events are nonexistent.
Most of it is new stuff being released in a shop or they tweaked something already in the game like baddys or horses...none of it adds any longevity or incentive to keep me on Graal longer...and there's nothing wrong with that, just stop playing as much like I said.

If you're happy with Graal then obviously keep on playin!

and I disagree, people are staying on Graal because of the relationships they have made in the game and have some emotional attachment and can't let go...which is a sign of weakness imo

updates are obviously not a main part of graal, like what was previously stated its just a masked social network
Friends
Guilds (Groups)
Random people to meet
Private Messaging
...when you take away all the extra crap thats what it is

What happened to the scripters we have? Is skyld gone? Fp4 not there? Did Twinny quit?

Not even the LAT and GAT is active. Even just new areas would be cool. Too many graal police and too little of everything else. Azrael is the only LAT I see on and Furry and Tulip only GAT. Everyone else is GP.

3 scripters? Wow that sure is alot, I'm so glad classic was able to hire that many, if you didnt notice that was sarcasm, 3 scripters with "lives" isnt enough.

And look at the staff list kid, I see 3 to 4 LAT, and way more than 2 GAT.

Classic sucks. That's all there is to it. If you want actual updates and quests then try iEra. The players are decent, staff aren't abusive, and Snk does an amazing job at managing the server while still having time to help the players.

Yes, let's all go to Era, where you have to spend money on weapons and where you die five times every few minutes if you're outside. Saying "Classic sucks" as if it's a fact is incorrect. I enjoy Classic. I don't want to rage every few minutes from being continuously shot. That's my opinion on it, and it doesn't suit me. But I wouldn't say "Era sucks".

If you're a lazy arse and think tl;dr:learn the difference between opinions and facts.

Hmm sounds like iClassic in its early days.

Enough said  

Classic- Make friends! Dress your character! Talk! Talk! talk! talk! Talk!

We also love fashion so we made about 1,000 HATS!

Thats another problem with classic, hats, hats, and more hats. Everytime I visit iClassic- November 18: 6 hats have been added to the hat shop!


iEra- Kill! Buy new weapons! win special weapons! Base(HARDCORE!!!!), work to make money!, Dress your character!, Events!, Spar!, and again kill more newbs again!

Variety of updates too

if Era is better then why does Classic have more online players?

it always seems like Era players are trying to attack Classic.  

Because of players not liking pk/ being more addicted to classic/ everyone being on classic. Same as what's gonna happen to zone.

Heres my idea on the situation. One reason that iclassic has a higher player count is that a lot of the players initially didn't jump onto the iEra bandwagon but now that they see it's not that bad they want to play. The only problem is they would have to start over again, building their stats and reputation up even if they were a "pro" on iclassic. Due to the fact that they would be a noob again, many players stuck to iclassic and just try to downplay everything that iEra accomplishes. I don't necessarily hate iclassic, I just prefer iEra.  

Well, every time I go on iClassic I see about 50% of the population AFK.
