His post might not be nonsense, yet it's nothing that could help graal to get out of the current situation, as it's nothing that could really help the overall games.
It's sadly much more than "just make your servers slightly nicer, it will all work out".

In reality graal technically has become better and better over the last few years (play a playerworld from 2000 or 2001 for ten minutes, you will notice the difference), yet reality was faster. You won't catch people with expensive yet simple 2d, if they can play good 3d games for free (and on these games, sadly you have more options than on most existing playerworlds.). (Iam not stating that everything has to be 3d, highres 2d graphics can do the job, too)

We don't need to attract other graalians (cool! it has more features than era or zone! coolio!) as there are hardly any left - we have to attract the outside world. And I can't see this happen with the current level of skill required to provide content that is good enough for the outside world.
Back in 2000 people were still playing Diablo2 or Starcraft, in that point of view graal quite had an acceptable graphics quality.
