My long story short
Me and my friend Matt Played graal Late 2009, we were still playing another eurocenter game called "dinosmash" and someone on the chatroom told us that bomber (stefan in graal) released a game called graal. I got hooked since then, enjoyed sparring then we had options to create guilds so we made a guild called PiNoY right away. Took towers for a few times then stopped to continue sparring to 10k wins then 20k wins. I moved to another country so I had to stop sparring because Im too slow to spar properly so I decided to do towers, which is to 1000 hours and succeeded. Then I tried joining guild spar tournaments to try winning first place, but failed my first two teams I joined so after that I had nothing else to do in graal so I quit for half a year only to come back And wanted to join every gst to see if me and my own team can make it to 1st place. Now to continue my story, i am planning to bring my guild to 10000 hours as another goal to do while Im here.

My legacy began began in 2011, when a friend suggested it to me. I immediately loved the simplicity of it all, and the way you could customize your character with shield codes was so new to me. I really liked pk'ing at the old MoD tower, it was all I did during the short duration that I was interested in Graal Classic. I didn't have the character customization pack at the time, so eventually I began to get bored. The ability to customize one's character is a huge beneficial factor to me, and the fact that I did not have it meant that I would not be sticking around for long. Before my departure, my attire usually consisted of romancekills wings, (those big grey and red wings) which I thought looked awesome at the time, and that vampire looking head on page 1. Soon after. I obtained an iTunes card and Graal Classic came to mind immediately. So of course, I bought the expansion pack along with some gralats. I was back and more intrigued than ever. I spent hours customizing my character, trying to find the "perfect" look. I soon lost interest in the game once again, when I ran out of gralats to buy hats. Approximately 5 days after I had bought the customization pack. I then moved on to a variety of other app store and PC games. I came back 4 months later. The app had gathered plenty of dust while I was preoccupied. I was disappointed, still at the fact that I could not afford anything. But after a bit of exploring, I finally ventured into the dark caves of Deadwood. It was here that I discovered my true lust for the game; and that was baddie killing. At first, I killed the bats inside the cave to obtain gralats, but I soon discovered that it would also count as baddie kills too. This method was faster than any other, so, I strived to obtain 100,000 baddie kills thinking it would make me "pro". I did end up getting 100k, and I was happy with my achievement. Even though they're just mere numbers, they actually represent something to me.

I've been here for a long time. I've seen a lot of people come and go. I've made many friends, countless enemies, and progress over the time here. I don't know what progress means, really. It can mean anything from working backwards, or working forwards. I like to look at it as working forwards. After all, all of this time here couldn't have been spent for nothing? I remember a slow day, a new iPod and a bored little brat sifting through the many apps on the AppStore. He had gotten his iPod as a gift from his aunties that year. Everyone knew they favored him the most out of the family. More than his other cousins. It was a secret they had kept for all these years up until now. The first time he saw the Zelda-looking app he pondered on downloading it. The game only had three stars, and he was a brat after all. Only wanting the best of things. Eventually something led him to download it. Perhaps it was the nostalgia, or the fact that it had a free version. Or perhaps it was something else? I remember a blue haired player, similar to many, spawning on the shining streets of a bustling, small town. Lost and confused. He would learn how to use his sword that day. How to shoot arrows, and to throw bombs. He wasn't the brightest of all the players. In fact, I remember him avoiding the tall grass in fear a Pokemon-like creature would spring out on him. Nevertheless, he would learn a lot as he began his journey to getting better. He would meet good friends who would teach him about codes, about gralats, and about clans. There were no guilds at the time. So he would join a small clan known as the Red Bandits. Not known to too many, not like the Hollows or GoD clan who would lash out at one another daily in Swamptown. Despite this, he would eventually join other clans and meet new friends. Some friends he still continues to know today. I remember the first guilds. Many clans died out that day. With not enough space to hold all their members, most of the well known clans would simply fade out. The blue haired player changed his look along the way, to a much more different look. A head with white hair and a blue bandana. Certainly it wasn't the greatest looking head. Nor did it resemble the player in any way at all. But he loved that head. You can ask him why, but he doesn't know too much himself. I remember Junior Admins. These tricky fellows weren't who you thought they were to be. Rather, bratty children trying to assume the role of staff by leading others into false belief. They would assist others into glitching off map and using their false title to justify it. Even the player had fallen for this trick, he was arrogant after all. They never did catch him once off map. Only a time where he would attempt to get off map and he would spend some time in jail. Where basically, he turned it into a nightclub room with all the other inmates. Nowadays jails are gone. Warning rooms are put in place and so was a Graal Police Department building in MoD town. Oh! Sorry, I appear to be getting ahead of myself. Anyways, this 'Junior Admin' soon became one of the player's greatest friends at that time. He eventually joined Equinox, which at the time was the #1 tower guild on Graal. It only had 300 hours. Dried dung can only be stacked so high now in this world. I remember first joining Zanza. How most of his friends were happy to see him join. How he met so many new people that day. Yes, I believe it was June 7th 2010. The first day he had gotten out of school for summer break. And what a memorable summer it was. One of the best ones he had ever had. Despite the current leader at the time, filling in for Az, Elly and Nick he was happy with all of the people there. She would eventually leave to run her own guild and to drag her boyfriend with her. Not a single one of us seemed to care. She had given up on us like a poor leader would have. Much happier to blame us for the problems created than to help fix them. Today I use her as a model of how not to run the guild. Never would he let himself sink to that level. I remember the guild wars. A sad day that was. To see your friends run off from you. To see the effects of power and position get to their heads. He vowed never to try to become a staff member. Not to become a monster like his friends have. Regret was a very close friend of the player's. He even helped support the player get in Zanza in the first place. They were not only just like a guild family, but like best friends and brothers. The two would always joke and have their fun together. And the player was thrilled and excited the day he became staff. Not as thrilled as he was, but for a different reason. He soon let his pride overcome him. Going around, spreading false rumors and lies to his friends. Many caught on to what he was doing. Then the time came where he would openly attack us and lash out. The battle was held at Snow Town, but things couldn't of gotten any more heated up. It was a shock for both guilds. Brother fought against brother in a brutal battle over the hard ice. Long and hard was this dance held over the dim candle light. For what minutes seemed like days lasted as both combatants fought with fierce strength against one another. With a fatal blow to the enemy flag, we won the war. But had lost many friends. I remember Revolution, Nexus, Club Crypt. Being the first guests of honor in the VIP room of Revolution meant being Azrael's guinea pigs. By then the player was already used to being an aristocrat. As he had been most of his life. The VIP room was then later on used for when guilds had reached 1k hours. Back when 1k hours was an accomplishment. Eventually staff stopped hosting 1k parties. I suppose that signaled the end of the Golden Age of tower taking. Azrael would eventually stop playing on iClassic too. Leaving his legacy behind to a frog, and a brat in a blue bandana. Surprisingly they've held out for all this time, even after the player left for a month during Lent season. He made sure they would stand strong, and he still would try his hardest to make his friends happy in anyways he could. It's all he cares about on this game, after all. This time on here has gone by so quickly. What's been years seems like just yesterday. Neither of us can be sure what the future may hold. Looking back makes us wonder whether we've done the right thing or not. What if I've made the wrong choices? Talked to the wrong people? Supported the wrong causes? I probably shouldn't ponder too much on the past... Now that I've told you my story. Now that I've told you everything. Tomorrow's a new story, and I've yet to begin that chapter. |

Long ago, on a small island you guys may have heard of, 'The United Kingdom' a younger version of myself went hunting through the woods looking for an adventure. He stumbled across many unimaginable horrors, snakes, bats, birds, dogpoo, everything. That didn't stop him though. He was exploring everything he had seen in these woods, climbing trees, digging holes, even found a little cave that turned out to be an old bomb shelter from the second World War. It was truly an amazing life, but then, everything changed. A range of sounds sporadically form that were such a high frequency it was like your ears were turning inside out. The boy jumped out of the shelter, and saw a slim humanoid like figure, wearing some kind of suit and arms that were completely disproportionate to the rest of his, no it's body. The boy was frozen in his own fear, and just staring at this figure, and despite not having any facial features, though it was hard to tell from afar, This 'man' stared back. The boy ran as fast as he could, puddles and puddles of sweat forming and creating a path wherever he ran. The 'man' stood in front of him, as if he had warped. Once again, the boy froze in fear, it all went to black. December 2009, the boy disappeared. I woke up and it was all a dream, I had breakfast, got my iPod and found Graal Classic, started playing it and the rest is history. |

There I was, in 2009 with my first iPod touch, eager to try new things. I had been looking on the app store for a while looking for some apps i wouldn't get bored of. So that day, I downloaded a few apps. One of them was GraalOnline Classic. I remember starting out, as a innocent boy with no means of hurting anyone. I stayed low, to many clans were out there. As I joined a few, most let me go. I never felt like I fitted in. After all, I was an outcast and loser at school. Around Easter, I had saved up enough money to get my first item, the Easter Creeper for 500 graalats. I loved that item and was so happy for myself. A few days later, my wifi connection went out and we didn't know the code. You could say I quit. A few months later, I joined back with 53 hours. So much had changed! Horses, houses, and guilds. I met this nice player who had a horse and told me all about them. He said they make you run faster and farm easier. He was such a nice person and I was a happy player. A few days later I joined my first guild, Reckless1, which Mr Mo ran. I was his co-leader and we took many towers. At the time I was a blue-haired noob and was having a great time. I later than quit the guild and searched around for another guild. I remember a huge crowd of people on some stairs saying: RECRUITING FOR EXILED ELEMENTS! I had found my guild. I cannot tell you how much fun and how much memories I had with them. I got my first 100 hours, first horse, and helped them tower. I ranked up quickly, and made friends with the leader: BboyY. We had many haters, but always won. We always took Cruxis, Vg, and CoM's tower easily, and worked great as a team. I made so many friends that I still talked to right to the day I quit. I later than quit EE and joined my friends guild, we took some towers, but died out. I decided to quit at 232 hours and deleted the app in 2011. Later around April 2012, I finally found the app. I played and had a blast. I joined a family guild that died, and then went solo. As a dumb noob, I went for the ladies and married. After thinking it over I divorced and vowed never to online date again. I was extremely active. Around July 2012, I had found myself a name that no one had: HON3Y BADG3R. I started to gain popularity because of my custom head. I was known as the laughing noob. I stuck with it and I was happy. Around this time I joined Graalians and learned so much. I always looked up to Blueh as a role model because of how good of a leader and relaxed he was. I had been making so many new friends and I was happy. People started to take the head I has and be like me. Graal was my place of safety and where I could be cool or popular. I had joined the guild Graalians and had a blast with others. I wish I never had to leave. You guys were always so happy and jolly and made me feel good for who I am. And now that I think back at why Graal was the only remaining app I had from day, I know why. It is because it was a game where you could do what you wanted and others couldn't hurt you. So know you know my story. It couldn't of happened without you. |

I misspelled google on Bing and had Graal Classic's result right on the first page. I looked more into it and became a moderate addict. Then one day, Pepper Ninja told me that now I could play Classic on my I Phone instead of the computer! I immediately bought the plus version and played for crazy hours. I bought Era+ and 3 years later, I bought Zone+ Then one day, an unfortunate accident occurred. My I Phone went through the wash!!!! I knew my I Phone needed to be cleaned, but not like this!!!! My I Phone turned out to be fine, but the sound was disabled.Knowing that Graal Classic's music is annoying, but really awesome, I decided to play the computer version again. While I was searching for Graal Classic, I stumbled upon Graalians.com and made an account for it. The End............or is it? There is always Delteria. |
