I just feel that in the past years nothing particularly new about any the games has come up. Its usually just the same stuff, new hats, weapons, etc to gind for. People are eventually going to get burnt out on that. Also. Considering pretty much nothing about the core game changes, I think the community's obsession with hours and join date is especially degrading. Its literally just how many hours of your life you've wasted playing this boring ass game, who ****ing cares how long you've played or what year you joined. |

Even If the new editions had a fraction of the features Graal Classic had over a decade and a half ago, I would still say it has deteriorated. I've heard the excuses of this, "It takes time", "we're working on a new client", etc. And I'm very aware of the old drama against Stefan - which, imo, is totally unfounded, as people still piled on him when he had the audacity to charge 50 cents a month. Only a few years later would Blizzard do the same thing with no one batting an eye. Anyway, saying "it takes time" only works if there is time spent working on content to justify saying it. Personally, I've seen nothing but a few promos here and there, some funny scripts activated sometimes -- but given Retro Nexus recently, there is a *lot* of talent on display there - so why does the world still not have things as basic as a hammer? There are things in the world that scream "find something to get to me" only to actually be leftovers of a world that was far more expansive when those areas were actually relevant. It's straight up baffling to me. It's even more baffling to new players because they would (correctly, yes, correctly) assume that those areas will be accessible at some point. There are huge sections of the Graal Classic world that are shrinking. Why? I found the last version of GraalOnline before the removal of Single Player on some of my backup disks, and I had a blast. Where is that game? I had 1000s of hours in those old servers, and there was still stuff I hadn't finished by the time the servers were reset. I mean, the central tenet of the game - the four graals - isn't there now. I could understand if it took months, but it's been years. Years! Duke Nukem Forever has nothing on the current state of Graal. But hey, at least we have houses, hats, and a marriage/family element that could have been fleshed out even more, but has not been. I am of the opinion that the developers would love to fix all this but are so afraid of player backlash which is always going to happen. I don't know the current management, but this is ridiculous regardless. Do NOT take this as an attack on the devs, this is not an attack on the developers as much as it is a wakeup call to the top brass - if I can have more fun with a single player version of the game over 10 years old than the current version populated with players, isn't that a problem? |

If you spent all of your time on graal trying to get hours and stupid items and you weren't involved in the dev aspect of the game then you aren't going to graal heaven and don't ask me how I know this it's just the word of god I can't explain it ok

Classic has been one of my most treasured game memories I've ever had I started when I was 13 and now I'm 19, I've met so many good people that make you laugh and those same people add moments to the game that have been my most enjoyed moments for example trolling players, glitching, causing drama and sharing grade A banter. Unfortunately a lot of people I've met throughout the years have come and gone I still remain in contact with a few but friendships do sometimes fade away, still some remain but they are inactive on graal, the game feels stale, the graphics are great but the game feels sluggish (it used to be really smooth PK and Spar was a lot more fluid and enjoyable) and the game can be painfully laggy at times. Life also takes its course with everyone with studying or work which is one of the main reasons I haven't been playing, the only times I do come on is when I'm relying on nostalgia fuel but that burns out quickly, I've invested a lot of time into the game which maybe also why I still end up coming back online. Gameplay being sluggish I'd say worse, due to increase in population it only continues to get worse if unixmad doesn't sort it out and realise how much potential graal as a whole has. But graphics wise it's at its best. |

can't say I like the new bounty system it requires more work the nexus and other related updates are pretty cool tho however as always graal kinda seems boring after a while due to the fact that pk is equal which is why I moved to zodiac. At this point in my life I am bored of the mobile servers especialy classic though it seems to be doing the most progress I don't view the game as interesting as I once did as I've been out of touch with many community members for years. Classic has always and will probably always be the game that gets boring quick no matter how long you stay and how many guild house ideas you invent I would probably tell you the only 2 servers that were/are worth playing regularly was UN and currently is Zodiac. UN being the best while it lived as it had a superb community filled with fun and annoying npcs aswell as the best events graal has witnessed. Zodiac is great due to the way pk is diverse allowing you to spend hours making chars and owning/being owned on the battlefield. |
