Rigged

eagle4 · #3 11-07-2008, 12:58 AM

I think it is rigged but I do have some doubts though... it could be a bug or something behind the scenes.

DustyPorViva · #4 11-07-2008, 12:59 AM

They probably started calculating in iphone players(from the skills game) or something...

maximus_asinus · #5 11-07-2008, 01:11 AM

No way Graal has that many people online. Even with the iPhone users.

knightfire35 · #6 11-07-2008, 02:02 AM

It's probably bugged.

subtract 1000 and you have the real playercount.

pooper200000 · #9 11-07-2008, 02:27 AM

As I was told, the Iphone servers attract quite a few players. That playercount you have a picture of is most likely correct.

Elizabeth · #10 11-07-2008, 02:42 AM

actually, the playercount was 1257 the other day .......

DarkReaper0 · #11 11-07-2008, 03:20 AM

Cool, so they managed to make a highly successful iphone game.

Dan · #12 11-07-2008, 09:21 AM

Yes it's the iPhone servers which are included. Can you imagine most of it is from just one application?

napo_p2p · #13 11-07-2008, 10:47 AM

They have one of the top 5 free games on the iPhone store (Adrenaline Pool Lite). It probably would be better if it just counted players on GraalOnline servers though... that number is misleading.

I DEMAND A RECOUNT recoooount

Where are all these people from then?

Dusty is right, they're including Adrenaline Poker and the other skill games in their Graal playercount, which is bad really because Graal is empty when you log onto the client so it gives you a false impression of the actual reality. Frankie was closer to the real figure, maybe lower.

Elk · #16 11-07-2008, 02:34 PM

Won't be easy to seperate, as Adrenaline Poker is running on the same servers as Graal does

Darklux · #17 11-07-2008, 02:57 PM

Nevertheless it would be scam if a player bought an account on the base of expecting 1700 players on graal (absolutely utopic!)

Elk · #18 11-07-2008, 04:26 PM

It's not utopic

Graal will have way more

If you ever bought or started to play a game just because of the player count, then it's... AN EPIC FAIL !
At least for graal, for now.

that might explain my new slowness on some servers.

Admins · #21 11-07-2008, 10:46 PM

It's Graal client on Graal servers, they are just not shown in the normal serverlist. We have more than 1000 players on pool at the same time

You mean the iphone players right? Because I know for a fact that 1450+ people are not playing Graal at once right now.

That's pretty awesome

Could be interesting when we, the 'graal' community, could play with the iphone players etc in poker or pool

Elk · #24 11-07-2008, 11:59 PM

That would only be possible if there was a completly free iPhone game

No, not really. Since the iPhone game(s) run on Graal servers (although hidden), it should easily be possible to detect by script if a client is using an iPhone or a computer, and thus treat it differently based on that information.

Dan · #26 11-08-2008, 12:42 AM

It might be good to display the iPhone servers with some nice iPhone logo in our serverlist? But being 'locked'.

Crono · #27 11-08-2008, 01:20 AM

Sup guys, check it out Graal is bustling with players.

It has nothing to do with Graal so why do that?

UN's losing its once shiny luster. Logged on there a while back and was sad to see not many things that caught my interest...besides a different management. It'll probably come around eventually though.

Graal.us already does differentiate between Graal players and iphone players. Never in this past month has it gone over 500.

That's because graal.us coded their crawler to get its information through the serverlist/listserver/loginserver and as Stefan said, that information isn't distributed over the loginserver, thus making it NOT appear on graal.us.

EDIT:
Fry has even modified graal.us not to show the ports of the iPhone Graal servers (Zone and Classic) to prevent them from being hacked. So even if that information was distributed by the loginserver, that could easily be coded to not show up in the results.

i dont see why un radio attracts people, all it is is Red making fun of people, playing crappy music.

the staff aren't doing much anymore.. we don't have a devoted team.

Codein · #35 11-08-2008, 09:39 PM

Maybe they should allow it so multiple radio stations can be hosted.
