Feel free to conjecture about why there are less players, but the fact remains that if any of you bothered to make a great server yourself, then maybe you'd be able to draw in more players. Stop placing the blame on Stefan and other GraalOnline staffers. |
What I don't like is that poeple here doesn't think about the future, they only think about the present.
"We need to bring in money to be able to host the servers."
Well what about in next year? In two years?
We have tried with this business plan for many years now, maybe it's time to remake it.
Graal, to me,
is a developement platform.
They host the servers, we make the content, they get the money.
But in the end Graal cannot entirely depend on us constantly updating their servers, making new servers like they do now.
We need to
work together, they need to have contact with us, developers.
Just something like they replying to some of our ideas threads would to me mean a lot,
visiting promising servers would also inspire a lot of developers to work even harder.
We are a small community, we are getting smaller and smaller each year.
Yet they don't keep in touch with us.
