Graalonline: The App

MSM · 07-27-2013

Hey guys. I have an idea. So, I kind of have a lot of space taken up on my iphone by Graal Era, Graal Classic, and Graal Zone. What if there was only 1 Graal App, that had all iphone servers? The app would be called "Graalonline". Once you opened it up, you would be able to choose one of the iphone servers you would like to play on. Once you click on a server, you are connected to it and you can play on it normally, just like you would if you had all 3 separate apps.
Having this would probably save space on my iphone (space in folders and of how many gigabytes my iphone can hold). It would be more useful as well. For example, if my friend is on Graalonline Zone or Classic, yet I am on Era, I don't have to go offline Era onto a different app. If I didn't have Graal Classic installed on my iphone yet my friend was on the server, I would just have to restart the application instead of downloading Graal Classic, which would take up space.

A centralized login server for iPhones has already been discussed and rejected.

That is interesting, but i think that the amount of memory would be same.

I was thinking of creating a PC server with all different times, the times would be represented with islands. So say an island for past (classic), modern (iEra) and future (iZone). The players could mix on a main island and fight to take bases and PK. You would buy everything you needed for your character on your island.

Everything would needed to be balanced of coarse because classic would be nothing.

That's an interesting idea.... But it sorta has been tried and failed with AEON.

With the way Graal Online works, this would not save much space for people at all. Assets are downloaded as you need them(IE someone has a hat you haven't been near before, it downloads it, or a new level/sound). The actual raw size of the app (<20MB) is nothing compared to how big it gets after you've downloaded a lot of content.

If your phone is low on space, try reinstalling one of the Graal apps. This may cause you to lag a little at first sice you need to redownload images as you see them(thus increasing data usage too if you are limited), but it clears a lot of stuff you have saved.

For example, Graal Classic takes like 20 MB upon the initial download. As I continued playing, stuff gets downloaded and now it uses over 500 MB.

Most of the space taken up by Graal games is from custom files (eg. heads, shields). The actual app itself only occupies around 25MB.

I am currently working on a method to save space whereby all Graal apps on my device share the same, unified folder for custom files while retaining their original states as three separate apps.

I prefer having a collection of the individual games

It caches all the images/files for faster access in the future. Which is partially why FB is so slow because it doesn't save anything.
Doesn't iOS let you clear memory for apps in settings? No need to delete and reinstall.
