g2k2 - wuts the deal?
 

no its coming out later tonight, even if you do get all the files for it you'll need an account which is only for people involved with the project i think

Gah.. when the server is opened to the public the 2k1 accounts will work, but for now it is closed only to people with special 2k2 staff accounts.

I think the preview shouldn't be timed
and we should only beable to stay in the intro levels or something =X

"Special" friends hooked me up to play 2002 online, and it's not really all that great :(

why

It wasn't ready.. plus it was like 1 in the morning Eastern US time when it came out.. so Stefan decided to hold it another time.. I believe that is the reason anyway.

No one can currently play on 2k2 unless they work for 2k2, so don't believe anyone saying "I am playing right now!@$" because they aren't. Also, it would probably be best to wait for 2k2 preview to come out before downloading 2k2, because the setup will probably change when the preview is released.

So don't go downloading 2k2 now, not only because it's probably the incorrect version, but several people are putting trojans in them and getting others to download them from unofficial sites, or sending it to people.

i'm scared to downloading anything hosted by graal. my friend spanky and some other people have been complaining about virus's and other stuff found in the exe (forcing them to reformatt their computer and stuff)

STEFAN IS ON GRAAL!!!GET ON AND WAIT FOR HIS MASS

Mass message:
Sorry for the things that happened yesterday.
It was not professional to say we will do the preview
at christmas and then there is only chaos.
We have changed the plans for it, we plan to release
it next week (tuesday?). We will open it for several
hours and afterwards turn on the ghost mode so
you can watch new things added there. This will
be better than doing the preview thing now, because
we will have time to remove all bugs we see
(the engine for sending the data was made at monday
evening...) and prepare things so that you have more fun
with it. I hope you understand that
*gets bombed with PM-complains*

Brilliant, Tuesday... New Years Eve?

Um you know such lies are not allowed even if
it's written like its a rumour? There has never been
any virus or trojan in any file from graalonline.com.
If there are trojans in cheating programs then
that's not our fault.

Well, at least we get to see Graal 2002 develop after the preview :)

First Christmas, now New Years Eve!? Geesh.

Don't get your hopes up for Graal2002. Seeing as everything these days revolves around staff, unless you are able to completely ignore them, you will find it to be the largest grouping ever of the most talented, irritable, immature, arrogant, and selfish staff ever to have more power than they'll ever need on a single server.

I intend to roleplay, and I hope I have the patience to ignore it, but at this moment I don't. :mad:

Hi Dante, perhaps you will tell me what has been wrong with you lately? You are acting far out of...character. You're being over-critical, stero-typing, and seeing nothing but horrible qualitys in everyone, no matter what. You have gotten as worse at most of the 2001 population who call us admins corrupt, for the mere reason we don't answer their pm/s in under 5 seconds.

Alkaren, I think that I am Dante's role-model

didnt i tell you guys? in that thread about the darkness coming, it came a little late, but its here

It's simple... I've worked on 2002 and seen how selfish, arrogant, vindictive, complaintive, and talented those staff are. The difference is, on 2002, every one of them has FTP, RC, NC, NPC control, and a firm sense of undeniable birthright to every ounce of respect of every player, staff, programmer, and human being on earth. Am I acting out of character? Maybe it's because I'm so disgusted.

well, don't hang around, if you ae disgusted, by normal human behavior................

Normal Human behavior? Maybe. Common human behavior? Hardly. I'm wholly charmed by most peoples' actions, and happy to appreciate their company. So, this is certainly the exception. Too bad the people I know on Graal are about 50% more tolerable than 90% of the people I know in real life. But, I don't want to talk about that now.

wts all the staffs get FTP?If 1 of them goes bad they could kill the whole server then =/

see, it is common behavior, what happens when you give ANYONE great power? they become somewhat peraniod among other bad qualities.

Humans are naturally cruel and wicked

me and you know this especially, remember the anti-elephant/lemmings campaign?

Dante has a point. I don't want my role-playing on that server to be manipulated and twisted by the staff because what they do is what they think is "better". In fact, if we had very minimal staff it would be better so there could be no finger pointing or other problems

heh *points finger at aftershick* almost no staff will have ftp accsess and that much power once it is out remember that, mayn of them will go back to their player worlds (KJL and SLP)

Staff should not interfere wth roleplaying and if they do they should leave. Not every staff has FTP/NC/RC either...I do not find the 2002 staff arrogant at all but then again they may treat you differently for all I know.

I completely agree with Dante.

YOU FIENDS!&$*(@%HOW CAN YOU HATE ELEPHATNS AND LEMMINGS?EVERYONE LOVES ELEPHANTS AND LEMMINGS!

:(

xcept kyle_gpsenorcaptn.

he is gr8.

Re: g2k2 - wuts the deal?
 

a bunch of levels filled with nothing but grass, oh yes, you missed lots :rolleyes:

However much I do not like to say this to a friend...


No one forces you to be here. If you are so disgusted, than leave.

Also, let me remind everyone..just because you have power, doesn't mean you will use it, or abuse it. To assume otherwise is sterotypical.
