Its not as fun asking 11 year old girls for their kik as it was when I was 18. Graal sure was better 5 years ago.  

This thread will probably turn into a chat war. Example>"Pokemon Red and Blue were the best, gen5 and 6 suck." Except Graals version> "2009/1999? Graal was best, cuz that's when it started. Everything else about Graal now sucks"  

Game quality and the lack of meaningful updates hinder the game. The game used to have moments of freshness and delay free gameplay now it's hard to find a time not suffocated by lag and delay. I'm a huge advocate in advancing the competitive side of graal and of course finding a way to handle the server population so we can have delay free gameplay. Staff aren't to blame, they work with what they're given and create what they're told to create.  

This is not the game I "grew up with". But when I got my first iPod for Christmas in 2011 I instantly got this game. I played about 10 hours of it on my friend's iPod before. I honestly don't regret picking this game up.

Classic is nothing but a highly interactive social media website. I enjoy striking conversations with people. I enjoy having a chat with random people all over the world. I also absolutely love character customization. So if I can make/use graphics that I want, hell yes. I can customize my house to look cool, hell yes. That's what really makes the game for me.

I have at least tried every activity in the game. I like them all. But that's not what I really play for. Of course I always try to do something when I'm online.

I can't say I have the same experiences as some of you who literally grew up playing Graal. But I'm definitely happy with my time on the game. I'm not regretful of a single dollar I put in this game. No amount of money can sum up my enjoyment on this game.  

I didn't grow up playing Graal I grew up playing Pokemon (cliche) MegaMan and Animal Crossing.  

A lot's changed, that's just the way the world works  

I started a year ago... so its still fun to me lol.  

We're in 2015, graal's average playercount is about 3500, yet like 90% people claim they're from 2009 and talk about how much they missed the game before? Then you ask them stuff they should know if they played at that time and they don't know.. Theres no shame in saying you started in 2013 people  

I started in 2010!
So much has changed... I remember high school guilds, which was where it all started for me! Then I started sparring, I remember sucking so bad i only got positive at like 4500 spar wins now I'm 13k-9k or something I've come a long way since then. It felt like a community back then, admins were more involved with graalians. I still remember when admins would show themselves and everyone would follow them haha and they'd be on top of buildings. Fame ruins things if I've learned something, this game got worst as it got more popular, therefore I guess the saying is true. I feel bad for every new player now who won't get all the fun we had sneaking around admins glitching outside the map we were given, bowling arena, sushi restaurant north of snow! To be honest if there is one thing I enjoyed the most out of graal was the people, sometimes you feel like you connect more to them then anyone else and the sparring community back then it felt like I was thriving to be on the leaderboard wanting to be in that top 10 spot which I would a lot through out the season. Now sparring is not even competition there is nothing to thrive for! After sparring I started towering I did 4 tower guilds and met more people, anyways I hope graal will change for the better someday in the future, at it's current state us older players won't be as pleased anymore to be truthful and I think most of us are here for the people ! Thanks for all the people who've been here and helped me through the years that I grew in this game! Have a wonderful evening everyone, this nostalgic feel I got from this post put a smile on my face

ouch this thread (sort of) hit me right in the nostalgia, i can't afford a single hat without stopping to wipe my pixel tears ;-;

i still remember how there used to be a separate FB server on iOS, lol. there were also rumors that an area below Swamptown would release (i believe as to which is now Destiny), and that Higbey riot by the old Nexus. anyone remember this?

also i don't think cyan gralats used to exist, maybe that or i just naturally sucked at farming. -_-

Ah jeez, the memories man. We all sound like old, nostalgic people. xD  

I remember when I started I thought Venus Gospel was the name of the castle :-)  

the nostalgia is the worst i hate it  

Back when massive shield codes of wings and swords were 'the thing'
