I can hook you up with 2004 Graal PC files.

That would be cool. Can it work offline or does there have to be a server running to play it?

Offline works partially, but it's better than nothing.

Agreed. I'd love to have the files if you wouldn't mind.

I remember Rufus released a quest (event?) in his house awhile ago that was from Classic. Really dashed any interest I had in experiencing anything else from Classic PC.

Yes! Sardon's Tower was one of my favorite quests. I played a Graal the Adventure server a while ago, but it was incomplete and after a quest with a troll boss, the game abruptly ended.

Thor is working on improvng the server, a guild system has been added to replace the old and a towering system, sadly I do not beleive the main quest line will be finished any time soon, though if you have logged on recently you can see a few new quests like the archery quest to get the boomerang
And the quest with morgan the theif who gives you hints for were to get treasures.

Old Classic had a quantity over quality thing going for it... same with servers like UN. Yes, you'll find plenty of quests to do and possibly be able to share the experience with friends, but all of it was watered down and not in any way close to a Zelda experience. It was either tons of block pushing, trying to survive hordes of mobs, or "puzzles" that were mind-numbingly basic but time-consuming. For example in Sardon's there was a room where you had to slowly push a block to the other side while dealing with a constant barrage of stone balls being shot at you. So fun!

That's not even touching the whole "glitch" aspect where most quests were glitchy/broken. Oh, and because of the way things worked back then with no NPC-server it wasn't uncommon to enter a room and it was already completed for you. You could literally walk through entire quests if luck was on your side... and that's what you ultimately hoped for! Instead of actually wanting to complete the quests, you were hoping you walked into a room that was already completed for you because of the myriad of problems I noted above. You completed the quests to get the rewards so you could actually compete with other players, not because they were enjoyable. Did I mention there were queues to fight bosses? And most of the time the bosses were broken and you had to unstick and do it all over again... yeah...

I'm not saying it was all a bad experience. Back when I played I do remember it being enjoyable, but not because of the actual content. But because of the people I met through the content, and going through these quests with other people(frustratingly). But in the end it was a quantity over quality deal, and the enjoyment, as per usual, came from the social aspect. This was content designed for ~100-300 players in mind, and would absolutely crumble under the current playercount. This kind of questing content needs to be reimagined for what Classic is currently, and something none of us are willing to rush into and screw up.

I guess though my experiences come from back when Graal was a bit unrefined, and things may have been better during Tyhm's management.

Sure, PM your e-mail.  

Us players made tons of quests and submitted them during an era of creativity. We wanted quality, but the players wanted to make a mark. That is why in 1.3 the clothes were set in a room with colored squares because some dude decided convenience was his preference despite the way it basically made all of the houses with clothes racks suddenly useless. Heads could be changed suddenly and now players had no commitment; and tons of heads and swords etc. were definitely added just to keep things "flowing" but that's because the player base was very small, not because it was the right way to manage things.
I was the level & graphics admin and there was a ton of pressure to add junk or people would literally harass and hack you.

Play 1.1; it's a beauty  

Graal classic have a quest but u dont know what quest

Their were simple puzzles like the one where you need to put together a sardon picture on the ground (I think it took place in the respawn room of the curent sards)

But those quests were fun
I dont remember the sort of glitches ever happening that you mentioned but I joined the party late so maybe it was fixed then.

Maybe you joined when there are barely any players online, just like every playerworld on Graal playerworlds

Graal the adventure had some great quests like sardons tower ;)
that made the game feel like zelda

for example to defeat sardon you needed to throw pots at him to make him dizzy then you strike him, then you avoid the lasers and repeat it.

But classic is more of graals social server, you may find a few quests in destiny which are decent.

Their is a graal the adventure server on client that thor runs, its incomplete but it has one of graals best intros, their is slow but good progress.

Im looking for a client for it aswell, if you find one please post.

the game has graphics pulled straight from Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, if i didnt see the title before i played i would've thought it was a spinoff or something  

SNES
