Graal Forums - The Great Crash: A Story

This is a TRUE STORY. All of the events are factual. Date of Occurrence: November 24, 2010

Tonight, horror struck out.

Everyone was at peace, doing peaceful things, on peaceful servers, with no non-peaceful things to worry about.

But suddenly... It happened.

CRASH! A small handful of servers jumped right off of the Server List. What happened?
Graalians began to investigate. They searched far and wide for the reason these servers crashed. Unfortunately, no reason was visible.

CRASH! Out of nowhere, another small handful of servers leaped out of GraalOnline. What happened? Where could they be? Which servers will be next?
Graalians continued to search, but the answer was no closer to them than it had been before.

But then, it happened. Suddenly, nearly all of GraalOnline's servers went KAPLOOT. Not even hosted servers were safe!

Meanwhile, on Unholy Nation, players were frantically running about. UN was putting up a great fight against the problem, but damage did not cease to exist. NPCs were disappearing, people's inventories were going away, and people began to panic. Large screams filled the mass systems. "WHICH SERVER WILL BE NEXT?" was a cry often roared across the server. "NOT UN! NOT UN; UN SHALL LIVE!" said those who still had faith. But even so, UN was taking hits. How much longer before it crashed for good...

CRASH! Five more servers vanished into thin air! How much longer will Graal survive? Will all the servers slowly diminish until there is nothing, not even Login???

Another boom! More servers were gone! The world was faltering, and people started to lose faith in Graal. Many started to believe that after so many years, Graal was finally finished. But some people still had faith. They believed that there WAS hope. And as it turned out, they were right.

Suddenly, a big burst of lag flooded the servers. On UN, the NPCs started rushing back. THE WOLRD HAD BEEN SAVED. All the servers were safe! GraalOnline was not over!

And so, everyone reentered their realms of peace. Nothing would go wrong again.

-The End-
