Ah... so much to say.. So much to complain about, and ask about. Well, to start with I will agree with Valder. Graal kingdoms is going to be nothing but a scammer server. Because it has no police and no laws.
Stefan has publicly stated that scamming is allowed because it is part of the game, as it is part of our real lives. But in all reality, its not a part of our real lives that we normally live. Thieves are jailed, they hide, they lie. They are caught, and punished serverely. But here, they are not. And so you have rampant item theft, deception, and this all has to do with - greed (although, greed is a human flaw that we cannot eliminate, we can surpress it and lessen it). There needs to be a system of punishment for these people of no morals.. I am really tired of hearing cheap excuses for not caring about it.
I have wasted 8 months of my life trying to help Graal Kingdoms. I say wasted because in the end, I cannot really help it, only the administration can. And I dont see any progress being done. They seem too distracted with other things, and kingdoms is suffering. We dont even have an active staff member anymore really, lance is basically fired for voicing his opinion from what I've heard. That is wrong, constructive criticiscm should be allowed, its allowed in the workplace, thats how management informs employees on how to improve..
Graal 3d will not be sufficient competition in the current market. I feel money is being thrown away. I have played 3d mmorpg's and they are simply too complex to actually work flexibly with, unlike 2d Graal Kingdoms. You can have the best 2d MMORPG in the world. Even the best MMORPG in the world. But you cannot sit around and just wait for something to happen, you need to do something now. The old saying goes 'There is no free lunch', such is true here. Hard work, and leadership with a driving ambition, are what is needed.
Well, solutions to these problems..
-First, you need administrators who play the game, are active, and are mature enough to handle their job. People who can inform your development team on what people want, dont want, etc.
-You also then need to find PRODUCTIVE graphics artists, scripters, and LAT's. Right now kingdoms development has slown to a crawl. Pirate's gear took only one or two days to complete, because I sent it to different people who I knew were dedicated to their work. To management: Use that as an example, assign tasks to people, such as making this monster, that item, designing that new forest for the new monsters and items. You could probably finish the whole small project in a week.
-Maps arent necissary. Make whole new areas and remove the maps. Then people can party and go into these areas to try to level. Maps are just easy ways to release new monsters. And it allowed everyone to power level like mad, because there wasnt anyone in there that was also killing things. Unlimited experience.
-Event items ruined your market. Those items are only 1.. 2.. 8 of a kind. Demand is way higher than the supply. Prices inflate. Economics 101-supply and demand curve. Dont have event items, have very hard to find items, that can still be made if you hunt enough for the rare components. People wont be so tempted to steal things if they all have a plat value, instead of a USD value.
-Reset Graal Kingdoms. Even if you lose some players, or alot of players, it doesnt matter, because more will come. There will be more opportunity for playing an equal game. People would like that more than being dominated by a few super godly players. It would bring back rp perhaps. Kingdom wars would be fun then. Everyone could have the chance to do well in battle.
-Advertise your product. The more people who see this website, the more possible customers. The more people hear about Graal, the more they will be interested in trying it. If Graal Kingdoms is turned around, and there is sufficient advertising, you could have 1000 users on kingdoms daily, easily. This is a global market, its possible.
Some people are probably thinking im just really mad because I was scammed recently. This is not quite the case. I am mad at two people for that, myself and the scammer. I would not post anything, or suggest anything, that would only benifit me. And especially not now. I will probably lose alot of friends from this post. So be it. I am getting my point out, it needs to be out.
If Stefan or Unixmad or any graalonline administration would like to speak with me regarding anything I have stated in this post, feel free to forum pm me, I would be more than willing to discuss things with you. Graal Kingdoms has so much unlocked potential. I believe I have shown you a key. How you use it, is up to you... |
