streety should become a future-teller :0

good job with the iphone Graal, sure is a hugh hit!
now, srsly, can we get some of them to pc graal?
if they know about the PC version, why wont they come here? (p2p instead of f2p, duhh..)

Congrats! =)

if they really wanted to lure players into the PC client they could release optional side quests that can only be completed on the PC client.

Still waiting for new PC client.

That's impressive! :cool:

2k1 pls

re-release it as a 2011 version

actually scratch that, i don't have an iphone

i hate you, turncoat nazi

at least bring back the controversial lynching post from behind the courthouse

Person who did levels should shoot himself :-p

Anyways hope it gets a update, players seem to be idle.

the day pc players are able to log onto the iPhone Classic server, is the final nail in the coffin of the actual Classic server.

i could see UN getting decimated by it too.

Which I assume will then be used for advertising on the iphone server, right?

....right?

...........RIGHT?!


.....one server doesn't need 500 people, especially when they don't even realize there's a slightly better PC version.

if i had an iphone :x

dam

I saw an excess of periods in this post and decided I probably shouldn't read it.

I should have stuck with my gut feeling.

I saw an excess of arrogance in this post and decided I probably shouldn't read it.

Unless they actually release content worth playing. I don't even see the real Classic server coming back anyways.

Same can be said about the iPhone server. What's there to do right now? Even less than you can do on the real Classic server.

Not true. You can talk to people on the iPhone server, and you can't do that on the regular classic server!

the large amount of players to interact with is some of the best content this game as a whole can offer

Like Squirt and DC have said, there is a much larger community that makes it more fun without the abundance of actual content.

I consider that a problem, though.

It's not fun for me. I don't enjoy running around as "CrAASh MCNUGGET .-*LEADER*-. [tEh iPhOWN sQuAd]".

The game doesn't run very well on my iTouch. It's a first generation iTouch anyways.

I would. Anyways I'm sure progressive updates will come as they have already been doing. The point is that iphone graal would dominate any graal server

While a 500 playercount is impressive and all that, and certainly cool to brag about... is it really worth the strain on the server and players? How would something like having dual servers work out? 250 players on each server, with synchronized data(your account data is shared between them, so you don't lose progress between the two servers). I mean, seriously... is 250 players REALLY that different than 500, in the grand scheme of things? It's still a crap load of players, more than enough to establish a fun community with. Such a set-up could probably help with a lot of the lag and such that the servers might be handling processing all that data.

I mean, if the servers can handle the 500 playercount find then by all means dismiss this. I have no interest to splitting a server that is having no lag problems.

wish they'd play the real graal 2

With everything so community-based, since there's no real content, players might piss themselves crying.

That's the thing though, 250 is still way more than enough to have an established community. This is something done in just about every other MMO out there to lessen the server loads. To ease the pain, could have the 'server list' show how many of your friends are connected to each server.

Server 1 <--> Server 2 (Communicates with each other and syncs data)

250 Players -> Server 1 -> Synchronizes to -> Server 2
250 Players -> Server 2 -> Synchronizes to -> Server 1

And in the end, this is completely pointless. I don't think 500 players is that many players.

To Graal it is. Also, the only thing it'd synchronize was account data, on a much slower rate than processing all 500 players that are currently on.

500+ players is quite a few, especially for servers like Era or Zodiac which have lots of serverside scripts dealing with PKing and such as opposed to using default systems.

And look how bad they lag :P

I was talking about allowing 500 active players on at the same time through multiple servers

Ya, there'd still be 500 players, but the load would be widely distributed between two servers, thus less stress on the individual servers. In no way is 250 players the same as 500 players. Like I said though, I guess it depends on how well the server can actually handle these players.

Could just use some sort of mini-cluster of servers to balance the load.

would be great to add a NEW server on the iphone, its would attract way more people

I doubt people really know the difference. I'm sure Classic is new to most of these people. :confused:

If you meant adding another server, I doubt it would attract more people. It might be better at keeping people than the Classic iPhone server is if it was executed properly.

I've been logging on here and there while at work or in bed and it seems interesting and rejuvenating to actually see players involved in the community rather then rambling and babbling about how good it used to be.

All though the median age is most likely around 11, and everyone is a god damn knight of the brotherhood or pizza delivery guy its neat to just go chat it up. I am looking forward to some events and stuff.

Who remembers burning down the building that used to stand where the spar arena is, oh I do!

Hello people, long time no post here..

I found on Itunes then I started playing again on Iphone.. My screen 636 players online X.x

Its sad that iphone takes too much time to type the text and chat.. but its a really nice version of graal.

omfg amon ra

also, the nostalgia is killing me

Holy graal!

Look at all those juizy noobs!!! <3

I think im falling in love with the Iphone version, I NEED an Iphone or Itouch!

hurry up and enable access to PC users!

Just thought you might be interested to know that the highest player count peek so far is: 628 players

The screen a few posts above kinda contradicts this.

Whoops!! :blush: I've been following statistics.graal, and since it updates every X amount of time, it probably didn't receive that info.

My bad, I'll have to check the log itself from now on. :(

(The point is, it's breaking 600!!)
