"Here's an idea, let's introduce P2P, Gold + VIP + Classic + monthly memberships and observer mode to make people pay!111111111"
They ruined Graal.

Wouldn't you want to make money off something you worked on for so long? Making a game ain't easy.

P2P obviously had a drastic effect on playercount when it was introduced,
maybe Stefan and Unix realise it was a bad idea, but even if they do it would have been extremely hard for them to have gone back to free Graal all those people having already payed for the privilege of no longer being a trial, nobody knows exactly how much money they've made and what if anything it has gone towards funding.
Still paying is not necessarily a bad thing,
lifetime classic recieved with the purchase of Gold seemed like a good deal for most people but they've taken that away and will inevitably remove it altogether, my guess would be with the release of V6 with the excuse of "lifetime classic was only supposed to cover a specific Graal version and we've been generous to allow people to keep it with past version releases".
The problem is simply that you're paying to play a heap of poo, not that you're paying in itself,
why pay every 6 or 12 months when the servers you are playing are not being ran by professionals with any sort of set expectation and the servers are seeing very few significant updates/improvements within that time?
The lack of care towards the Classic tabbed servers is largely down to the fact it is not subscription fees that provide Graal with most of it's income, but playerworld rental,
so many idiots pay a relatively large fee for the right to Develop a server which probably costs Graal about 0.5% of the fee payed to maintain for a year when only few of these people have significant Development ability and the talent pool being stretched thin, it's one thing working for Graal for free with little hope than it is working for Graal at a cost with no hope.
This is only really has an indirect effect on the Classic tabbed servers, it keeps the money coming in but the "product" they are "selling" stagnates.

We should feel privileged that Stephane has taken his time to post here on these forums when he almost never posts on the official Graal forums.
