Simply put: I like creating things

Yah, I'm just saying is if they want profit they should start their own game. Now that you put it that way, I actualy aggree with you (to some extent). I enjoy creation, aswell, but I also enjoy having something to eat.

Ok let’s look at it this way, you use Graal scripts, Graal engine, Graal GFX, basically you use all Graal tools to make your PW with. You take no risk, you own no servers to host with, you pay for no bandwidth, you don't own any domains for Graal, you have no lawyers on retainer for possible lawsuits, you provide no investors for the Game, you pay no taxes on equipment used for the Game, you don't pay the rent to house the servers for the Game, you don't pay the utilities for the office of the game, you don't pay or own the licenses for the game, you own no copyrights for the game nor do you pay for copyrights.
And this is just some of the "details" I have listed and with all this said you think the Playerworld "Owners/renters" deserve to own something? Or they can just do as they please because they use everything of Graals and reap the benefits of that? The piddle amount you choose to pay for "renting a server" does not outweigh what Graal provides to you so you may do so. What you do is nothing more than what you would pay for a "hobby". Hobbies cost a person, just how much depends on how much you want to spend, what you want to spend on your hobby (Graal) depends on what you want out of it.
If you just want to play then it is very cheap, if you want to build something on Graal then it cost more time and money to do so, as any hobby would to that aim. But keep in mind you don't own anything related to Graal, if your driving devotion isn't the satisfaction of making something others will want to play, then remain a player and don't make your hobby building something on Graal you will never own. Since you don't own anything you also have to keep in mind you will have to follow the Playerworld rules of Graal being they have every right to make them since they own all rights to it and you know this in the beginning.

I'm not even going to read all that.
All I'm saying, is if you want profit, go somewhere else.
oh, and of the first paragraph, you do have to pay for servers, so there are some royalties. Also, its not hard to host your own webserver in your own home (and donations etc from being more established as a game (or other forms of payment you can get for your services) ease the blow of bills).
