Open Graal 7 times with 7 different accounts, all at the same time, then open the server list in one of the games, and you can get in the pay servers for free!

Zulithe 04-28-2001 10:07 AM

!? You've got to be kidding?

Can someone test this?

HIC 04-28-2001 10:24 AM

Yeah, but it only works about 30% of the time :/

04-28-2001 10:41 AM

Thats a lot to go though just so you can be dissapointed... Heck they should have it so you can get so many free hours to see if you like it. If I did I wouldn't of bought an account and just sent stefan 50 USD

Hawk 04-29-2001 01:12 AM

greetings,
 
This is true?
you tested it?
or who did?

Spunky2000ca 04-29-2001 01:28 AM

I'd test it.... but for some reason i cant open more than on graal or then it crashes =D But thanks for bringing it up HIC, cause it can hopefully be corrected by the graalonline staff to protect against ppl getting on for free.
Also, ive heard of lots of freemails that work with graal's signup system. I know its impossible to get all of them though. But I'm not sure if they've been looking =\

Yes and when opening 100 graals
at the same time you get a free bomy

Cool, Stefan made a joke, whaha

galen 05-01-2001 09:12 AM

I personally want to see a system that can actually handle 7 graal clients running at once. I've been known to run 3 in the past but that was pushing it (down to 4% free resources)

Tell you what...get a computer to open 7 graals at once and still be functional and FedEx it to me (for verification *cough*) and I'll give you $100 :P

Admins 05-04-2001 06:45 AM

The problem is that when opening many Graals
then the windows resources are soon out
and windows starts to behave strange

05-05-2001 10:43 AM

the problem for me now is:

that i cant go on graal, i have tried everything:

1) restart graal.
2) reboot the computer.
3) i changed my IP.

tell me what to do...

HIC 05-06-2001 06:41 AM

Haha!!
I was just seeing how many people would try to do it and crash their computers =D

Fai 05-06-2001 06:53 AM

I got 3 open, AND AOL lorkoe

Thak2 05-06-2001 11:38 AM

On my computer running one graal takes 75% of system resources... I dont want to attempt anymore.

Since when does windows act normal?? Just opening Winamp while MIE is opened gives me a bluescreen! (LOL)

Maybe we can't copy and paste window pictures into paint as well as you.

06-01-2001 06:34 AM

The light at the center would not have come outside the graal window. It is restricted by the program.

I'd guess that was just eye-candy courtesy of IcePick. Either that or he's running one BIG Graal window that simulates lots of little Graal windows and has a shiny thing in the middle. But I'd opt for the former.

06-02-2001 04:26 AM

I can open how many graals I want. I got a server as a computer.


Server: A computer that companys use that have lots of harddrives in it.

CrazedMerlin 06-02-2001 05:01 AM

Why dont i believe this.
Your system resources would die.

galen 06-02-2001 09:37 AM

now if you had like a 1.7Gz processor (or dual or quad) and 4gigs of ram MAYBE but I still think the first Graal process would eat up as much processor time as it can chew

galen 06-02-2001 09:54 AM

Loading 5 Graal's is DEATH
 
If I close all other applications and all the misc stuff that resides in my systray I can get 4 clients to load without a hitch. The 5th one nukes the system. I didn't have to reboot though. I just clicked through all the error boxes and I was able to keep chugging right along.

kyle0654 06-02-2001 02:14 PM

eeewwww....Galen's desktop is cluttered

If I don't use DX7 I can run 2 Graal's at a time with no problems....nice speed.....I got to 4 the other nice then it wouldn't open anything else.....nothing evil, just said it wouldn't open another one cuz it was being eaten from the inside out.

grim_squeaker_x 06-02-2001 06:27 PM

I always got that error message when I tried changing servers in 1.40...

Admins 06-03-2001 05:06 AM

The problem is not the memory,
the problem is windows - it only has
limited space for the GDI resources
which is used for windows and images
and that stuff. It is not only buggy
(ressources are not completely freed,
so when using IE or other programs
it MUST crash after some time),
it is also very small and doesn't increase when
you have more RAM.
When testing older version I had to open
like 3 or 4 Graals at the same time to test
online stuff (because I didn't had internet
at home), but Graal2001 is using Direct3D
and has more windows and bigger
images for tiles and bigger map, so the
stupid GDI resources aren't enough for more
than 3 or 4 Graals.
I guess Microsoft will never fix that.

galen 06-03-2001 09:16 AM

There is a known leak in GDI.EXE and GDI32.DLL in NT4.x, Win95, Win95osr2, Win98, Win98se, Win2000, WinMe, and WinXP which manifests itself in various ways. There is no way to clear the lost GDI resources without a reboot.

RawPower 06-03-2001 12:10 PM

I cant even open two graal windows with some wierd message popping up

06-03-2001 01:50 PM

Whatever, I still can open how many graals I want. I dont care if you dont beleave me.

I have only been able to open 4 graals at once, myself. When I try to open the 5th, I get a resource error, which is probably what everyone else has been describing.
