Forgot how I found it, was either through browsing the app store or from another Eurocenter game like bomber online or something, I know I joined in Dec 2009.

Anyways, started back when there was nothing to do but pk and chat. Only played like an hour or two a day because back then it was just a gimmick really. It was a blast though, the content was "player generated" meaning that we would make our own clans and "clan bases" out of random areas and try to control them. There was constantly added secret areas and cool stuff. Forgot if the fan was added right away or if it was added later, but back then the people who could enter it were considered gods/pros, and highly respected. Nowdays it's just infested by noobs and pkers.

Then later on guilds and forts got added(feb 2010), and I made shrub and we would constantly dominate every night. I was kind of a tryhard with forts, I got angry when we lost them and wasn't very nice when people slacked. For whatever reason, people didn't seem to mind, even the casual players.

Then in april 2010, the first hat shop came out-Nafets River hat shop. They were moderately expensive(2-4k I think), but people didn't mind. Players loved the hats, and asked for more and more.

Then there was a time where 99% of updates were hats, and the prices slowly creeped up over time. and it got to the point where people would protest both the lack of non hat updates, and protest the hat prices, which would often lead to random jailings. Btw, back then they jailed people instead of bans, and it was The place to be.For a while you could talk in jail, so it was a sociable experience. Later on they removed the ability to talk because it made it less undesirable. Then ultimately they removed jail completely because people would ASK to go there, and try to get themselves sent there.

Then Stefan made a possibly unintentional nerf to farming; By changing the distance which scripts and npcs can load in single inside levels like houses and the fan/zone, players could not take advantage of the "farming with more players=more gralats" as effectively since they needed to be in sight range to be helping, people used to afk in the water of the fan to help improve the farming of people there, you could easily make 20k-30k in an hour, now you're lucky to make 2 or 3k in that same time.

The first year Graal was extremely fun, but then after that I slowly got more and more bored of it to the point where I can barely make myself log in nowadays, just waiting for a fun update. I'm hoping Delteria will be a blast to me-Graal Classic was one of those games that I just got absorbed into and some of the best experiences I've had with online gaming.

also, were any of you around to witness this?

It was priceless, without a doubt the funniest exploit in the game I have ever done.
