I suspect servers like Kingdoms iPhone will likely draw almost an entirely different playerbase. This isn't like PC Graal where new players are scarce and servers compete for the same ~500 active players. iPhone servers have the ability to attract players without stealing them from the other iPhone servers.

True, but I am sure if EVERY server starts making an iPhone server that iPhone customers will get tired faster of seeing such similar games. They like variety. iGK is almost completely different. Complete different tileset, different gani's and graphics. It's almost impossible to even tell it was developed by the same game. (slight exageration).

Now to desperately find the post's Stefan made so Ducati doesnt think were *gasp* lying *gasp* because she already accused me of lying before about it.
I believe Stefan used the term "Cash Shop" ? Similar to how you use the start menu in the bottom of the window to buy certain items on Era and Zodiac already? Not actual cash but using Gelets, right?
I could only imagine what would happen if Graal PC went F2P and the servers that were currently PC just fueled the acceleration of the playercount and steal potential N-Pulse PC players =/ I mean correct me if im wrong UN used to have NPC's YEARS YEARS ago that allowed trials to play similar to P2P accounts untill they were asked to remove it. That drew alot of attention to them. Players started playing, there server goes up the playerlist so other people get curious.. and the viscous cycle continues.

For the first day, yeah. Then everyone would go back to UN. Atm it's not worth busting out hard work for the PC servers because there will be no one on to appreciate it. Era and Zodiac are the only ones with a good playercount. |
I look at is more as WHOM is appreciating it? Future Players that don't exist yet. Or the people who put in the hard work to make the content your "re-using". It seems unfair for there hard work to just go un rewarded. the same as it would be for you to develop a pc and have it fail again.
I believe you said it was the Pay to Play that ruined N-Pulse. so if it's eventually going to be free, sooner if more servers follow Zodiac and Era... why not jump on that band wagon?
I completely agree it's bogus that they let FB play with iPhone but not PC.. why not? I mean I understand the PC client is far superior and need's much less optimization but really, FB? common, let the V6 players play too. Then we can have true harmony.
