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? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-dtbE_JHnyo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vbK-Y5YMFvU It was priceless, without a doubt the funniest exploit in the game I have ever done. |

One of my friends told me to try out graal when it looked exactly like zelda a link to the past. I couldn't get it to work the first time, tried again a month later and got in. At first almost no one pk'd. If someone tried everyone would kill them and then there'd be no more fighting. You would get warped somewhere far away and lose your 4th heart and any items you had, so people really did not want to die. It also took a long time to get back across the map. I met a few pkers and they seemed to be much better at fighting than all the peaceful people. After I was randomly attacked (by MoD members) because they thought I pk'd someone, I got annoyed and decided to make a group for pkers. That was the start of baddies, it was a huge guild with several hundred members, and once a week we'd ask everyone for money or they'd be pk'd and lose all their money. It was fun. I quit graal for a few months and when I came back, most people were kicked out of my guild and the new leaders had changed it into an elite spar guild. After they took away any penalty for dying in graal, there wasn't a point to going back to a pk guild for me so I didn't bother. |

When I first saw the app I didn't download it, but then about 3 weeks later I was still looking for a multiplayer game and eventually decided to download. And the story well I can't be bothered

It was 2001 and the internet was still kinda young. I remember hearing from a friend in school about this awesome game that is a lot like Zelda but online, so I remember downloading Graal Online and checking out some servers. When I completed all the quests and made a few friends, we all agreed that PKing was bad and we wanted to put an end to PKing in Graal City. I wrote up this awesome attack plan while in school and we were going to attack level14 (the area outside Burger Refuge) from 3 different angles. It turned into us PKing people for maybe 10 minutes then we gave up. After a while, I made my own guild called ArchAngels. Had a lot of fun and made a lot of good friends. Allied with the old Classic guild called US and since you couldn't ally in game like you can now, we had a guild tag we shared called Aegis. We both declared war on Ventrue Vampires and we had several good battles at Voluran's Mausoleum. The most memorable one was that one that went on for 2 days. We won the battle because eventually everyone from their guild logged off. After a lot of fun with my guild and couple staff positions on Classic and one on Maloria, I kind of quit Graal off and on for a few years. When I saw the game come to the appstore I actually went out and bought an iPhone for it. Since the iPhone version, I've met a few really cool people and have had some good times here as well, but nothing as memorable as when I was a noob. Those are always the best times of any game! |

Was around 2008 and I saw a video on a website of zelda online, checked it out, played some servers and it pretty awesome but I got bored quickly and stopped playing games couple of months later. January 2010 I think it was and I was looking for a cool multilayer game on my ipod touch, found graal again, started playing pc graal again.

Found it in the app store in 2009, and met some random people in a guild, and one of those random people ended up getting hired on the graphics team. Then he got me a job as a GP in June 2011 (I didn't actually ask, he just told me one day, that i was hired.) Almost 2 years later and i still work as a GP, and almost all of my friends quit/got fired. #SoLonely |

In 2011, June when it was close to my birthday. My ESL friend recommended me a game. He is quite a good gamer I guess.. Over the vacation, while I am going to florida I have started Graal without identifying it. In that period of time, only vips can identify themselves. I deleted the app and re-download it in december. Obviously over the summer of 2012 I had to quit graal, because I was in county camp. They won't allow any phones in the camp. I might go to county camp again, it's pretty fun. We do lots of activities and hang out with new friends. It's better than Graal :9

In 2009 I got myself a swag 2nd gen iPod for Christmas and that's when it all started. In January 2010 I was searching online on the App Store because online games had always interested me. I came across Classic and downloaded it because it looks interesting. I got really into it and even my little brother played it to. One unlucky day my brother got pmed "do you masturbate"... My little brother having no idea what that meant went and asked my mom what it meant and she made me and my brother delete the game. I missed it so about a year or two later I went and downloaded era and it was a whole new thing for me. So yah that's about it, but I hardly ever play era anymore because it's boring so I have my hopes up for delteria.

In like May of 2010 I was searching for mmo's n such and I found Classic. I started playing and got so hooked, it was cray. Then in November 2010 I realized my iPad had a defect and I had to get a new one. Since there wasn't VIP/identification back then, I lost my account. I emailed staff about getting a transfer but I never got a response my account doesn't even show up in the search anymore. So I thought about making a new account, but I didn't wanna start all over again. Eventually, April 2012 came around and I was really bored a few days after my birthday so I got it again and got hooked again lol. And here I am :0 hollaaaa

I heard about graalonline classic from my sister, she said she did not like it all and everyone was mean, so naturally I had to see for myself. She was actually right about the 'mean' thing, not even 5 minutes into the game I was cursed out for being a noob. Nevertheless, I continued to play because I had gotten into towering, from defending castle for 24 hrs straight for Venus Gospel and learning how towering works (aka getting kicked for being offline -_-) and later meeting some cool players in Voyage. Then after 1k mostly all my friends quit; I was going to do the same till I joined the initiative and started making graphics, mainly until I was hired as GP. I think I've already mentioned how I became pharaoh so I will just say thanks again to Lykke for her awesome hat hehe.
