What exactly is the corelation of the graal kingdoms codebase to the crossfire code base? I think if gk focused some amount of time to opening up the code base (just enough to let players contribute /something/) we might actually see some of these frequently touched upon topics get some attention. at very little other than an up-front cost to the developers.

Graal kingdoms seems stagnant. Theres a big fat graphics forum, and lots of awesome contributions on that side, maybe the game could benifit some from other kinds of contributions. I see lots of good suggestions on the forums all the time. Though some people who have commented in this thread seem to think you guys get 'enough' money from graal to live in 5 story mansions and code 24/7 on gk. I have a feeling those that do write the majority of code have very little monitary motivation.

Why not, this is not a small thing, reorganize things so that all of these awesome suggestions might see the light of day? there are allot of very small things that could very well be entrusted to players to be refined, that could make a humongous difference. Defining the logic of some of the legacy crossfire spells that have /never/ worked on graal, or maybe just some re-organization of the gk pantheon/equipment/monsters/etc...

I personally would love the oportunity to contribute. I think lots of other people would too.

There seems to be allot of emphasis on not upsetting the balance, but there is no balance to speak of, so feel free developers to experiment. i would much rather have my items go away, or lose some experience than run out of game to play.

Maybe this is a tad off topic, but the reason the topic was even started is because of deficiences in the diversity of the game.
