Sadly, I couldn't agree more with Ed.
GK badly needs to see some serious development work.
That isn't to say it isn't being done, it just that -nobody- on GK sees any of it if it does exist. True, the magic system took a lot of work and was a very welcome change, but it came with swarms of bugs itself. (And even with the new sys, magic was still nerfed compared to phys, espeially with the curious lack of decent aoe 'cept spiderweb and the fact that anything can interrupt spell casting now) but I won't go there.
The point of the matter is: the players need to see more develoment work. (AND have it in a positive direction, not the added ability to grow flowers. woo)

As for what Draenin said - personally I think everything in the game should be findable/craftable. Doesn't mean things can't be rare (as the golden unicorn horn artifact from crossfire), but that way everyone has a chance to get them, even if it takes a long time.
And yes, GK needs more monsters too. There's enough to comfortably level to a skill to around lv 20, but after that its just grinding lords for hours on end.
I swear, graal's official server has the least content of any MMO I've ever seen. and that includes the one I saw written in qBasic a few years back.
