How long is to long?
 

How long do you think is to long to enjoy actually playing a game like this..

I have found out that usually the playing aspect of Graal leaves my interest when my real life responsibilities increase.

Other than that I can't say I have really ever grown out of logging on Graal and playing for an 30 minutes to an hour when I can.

If you have to ask, too long.

Longcat long.

Thats what I was afraid of... :(

EDIT: POST 600!

You don't stop playing because you grow old, you grow old because you
stop playing. - Moonie lol If you still have fun playing graal why stop?

If Moonie says it, you know it's wrong. She is WAY too old for this game.

I've always treated Graal sort of like AIM or MSN. I mean it doesnt require any real time to play, I just sort of use it as a communications device. I don't see any reason to stop logging on when I'm bored.

I don't think that you can play any game for too long if you really enjoy it. The only exception being if you don't eat or use the bathroom because of it. People who go to that extreme make themselves unhealthy doing that.

I suppose if you're younger, you can tolerate longer periods of gameplay, such as a few hours. I noticed as I get older, I drift away from games steadily and I tend to have spurts of maybe 1 hour sessions of gameplay or maybe 30 minutes. But to answer your question, I think that playing over 4 hours continually is excessive.

Graal's a game to me. Just like ps2, or xbox, etc. Most games get boring, but after not playing them for awhile, when you just play it for the hell of it, it starts to get pretty cool again...until you burn it out again...For me the process repeats itself frequently. I'll play for maybe 3-4 months, then take a month or 2 off because i get bored. Its boring doing the same **** over and over again.

graal is more of a community based game than a LETS PLAY type of game...so as long as something is happening thats of any interest it's hard for it to get too boring.

Well I only play on Zone....so you should understand why it gets boring, crono. >_<

Haha, alright Zone doesn't count. :P

There aren't enough hours in a day for me to enjoy one hour of this game, I only re-installed it to be nice for 2 seconds to prove that Vista is still having problems with Graal, and helping out to fix the problem where I could.

Years ago when I was 13 or whenever I started Graal, I was still at school, and loved this game, but I was a noob and it was best then :)

I didn't stop completely. I still love the gameplay, just not some of the people.

I think I get to decide that, thanks.

Everyone has their opinions. Even here ^^.

That 10 inch post got deleted, I was going to rep it :{
****ing rep system. ****.

That is true, and my "opinion" is that I get to decide when/if I am too old to play. The fact is that if I enjoy it, and there is no rule against it, then I am not too old to play. :)

Graal sucks but there are no other good games out there either :( pm me good games plx :)

That's a poor system, in my opinion. Let's pretend I enjoy murder, but there's a law against it (which there is). Does that mean I enjoy it any less? Only that I cannot enjoy it or I suffer consequences.

Only if your stupid enough to get cought. Burn the body - get rid of all evidence.

And ya'll needa get off darelne. Yes, she used to annouy me alot, because she did her job, but thats no reason to go around calling her old. ****, if I wanted to I'd be playing until I was bored of Graal aswell. To me Graal's like a video game. ANYONE can play it. Even though they'll stop once it gets boring.

Or I could do the same and say that all of you over 18 are to old to be playing a game like Graal.

Uh, I think murder and playing a game are two different things. What I said applies to playing games. I don't know what in the world you are thinking....:\

But what if murder is a game to someone? :eek:

I grew out of logging on and actually playing a long time ago. Like 2 years after I came to graal. Probably due to my global job, although at the time I didn't really play any server other than Era and it would have eventually worn off.

No, seriously, you're too old. I'm deciding that.

I'm not "on" Darlene, thank God.
Right, which is funny because I don't recall comparing them.

True Story. He used it as an example of gaming which is not comparing at all.



And I believe you become too old when you pay attention to your graal job (serverwise,globalwise) more than you do your real job...*cough* *cough* unless that is if graal is you're only job...then well, i feel very sorry for you...

Get over it, or don't. I will be here for awhile, atleast until I decide to leave.

Guess I'm not too old then. :)

I didn't know everything was always about you...I guess you failed to miss the "Serverside/globalside" aspect in my previous statement. I don't believe you're a global nor do you work on a server? You're an administrator on the forums... I could have not even been referring to you at all. Ever think of that? Once again please read what I type...to the full extent. Thank you

Edit: Nice way to try and edit what you wrote...but i already responded to what you previously said so this post is legit i believe.

My grandfather plays Socom and Zelda O.o

I don't know why you continuously attack me, but I edited my post becouse I misunderstood it, and thought you were talking to me, then realized you might not be.

I love Zelda. :)

you're too old darlene, ok?

Because you take away from what this community used to be. Yeah i know you're "doing your job" but having an iron fist sucks. Let us have fun...you're too serious and I feel that you do not keep up with the new culture of today so you often feel a lot of stuff is offensive and you fail to understand sarcasm i believe...=/

even the guy who disputed the wikipedia arguement (wikipedia staff) said the boards here were WAY too strict

and if wikipedia said it... it must be true!
(not disputing/agreeing).

I got tired of playing Graal around Feb 05. About the time I started living on my own. The low playercount and being too tired to log in kept me off of it. One of those 2 reasons reduced my gameplay to just a few hours a month.
