The Old Graal Sites
 

Heh.. One of the first?
(One more coming up)

Re: The Old Graal Sites
 

Haha, cool.

2 :)

I remember the first one.

i miss thoughs days :(

All graal is now is money no money no play.

*stares at unixmad* money hungry....

He's not money hungry. He has been working on Graal for years and received nothing but criticism and complaints. He runs the servers and owns the computers and things, he even keeps them running 24/7. Can't really complain.

"You can play the game along or connect to our game server to play with hundred off player"

Haha I like the english they used back then ;)

Nope, hes money hungry.

Everybody's money hungry in reality :-/

But yeah, archive.org is cool.

How do you figure?

Hmm...how do you figure he isnt?

damn bro, he puts half is life into making something that he hopes to make a carrer. Now if you did this, i'm sure you would want some cash to make a living also. gah.

Because I understand that it's very costly and difficult to run a business that services thousands of players a day?

Tell you what: You go run 23 servers, pay for an entire office, pay some of your working employees, and I'll come over and call you money hungry, because that's what you obviously are according to your style of logic.

He runs how many servers for Graal? And if there so concerned about server support/cost, they wouldnt host/run playerworlds. Release the G-Server again. Most of the new G******* projects look way better than anything Graal currently has.

No. They won't release the G-Server again. They need the business from graal to afford to live. This is their JOB. It's how they put bread on the table and afford a house and an office. Stop thinking unixmad is an evil overlord bent on screwing you out of money: He's not.

Graal isnt worth paying for as it currently is. Bring back the community, the older pk tags, more skill players, and the rest of the old stuff without the new features and it will be worth it. Well, maybe keep some of the new features, but most of them suck.

Then you go make a game for a living with a full salary staff with no money to pay them with besides out of your own pocket.

I love it :p

I can bring back my oldest sites and see how bad they were.. I still sort of remember the old white background one.. Hardly the black one.. Can't really remember.. *zap*

It's not a question of features. It's about working for a living, which is something unixmad has to do seeing as how he's in his thirties. Some people still pay for Graal and that's what matters to him, this business helps him put food on the table at night and give him a place to sleep.

I would donate and stuff, but my ATM card isn't a checking account, only savings, so I can't use it as a credit card. Maybe when I get a checking account. =\

Oh yes.

Unixmad is keeping all the money he gets from Graal.

Umm no. I bet Unixmad has to take up 2th and 3rd jobs lol ;)

HE has to pay for:

servers
5 staff people (he said this in a post before if i'm correct)
living costs
office costs
pay Stefan


Thats just for Graal . I'm sure he has other bills like electric , water , food , etc.

Plus he probably has bills from all the years he paid for Graal while not having p2p server.

Does Classic still have "ads" like it used to? :megaeek:

I don't think it has ads anymore.

He also has to pay for all the domain names that he got, plus the cyberjoueur ones and stuff. Maybe when I get money I will buy a Graal License. ;)

"Stuck in a wall?
Want your account disconnected?
Does your account need to be reset?
USE THE ARS(E?)"

That always made me laugh...

I liked old graal when it was young, no complicated scripts just everyone having fun...

No wonder Graal was so small then... everyone ran away from the layout :D

Edit: Siggy SuXoR On Grey!

AAHAHAH
Stuck In a wall,
AHHAHAHAHA

that shillarous..use the ARS...i rember that :P

HE TOOK MY ACCOUNT unixmad killed me *cries* its sad really you now have to pay 40 bucks for a game.

Hawk:

I agree, get off unixmads back, he is atleast trying his best.

Old and site and support
 

That's really nice to read messages where you support what we are doing.

That’s right that Graal cost a lot of money:

* We have dedicated Bandwidth, currently 15Mb/s
* Two full racks with a lot of computers
* Office in Paris (that cost a lot)
* Salaries: next week we will be 8 full time peoples on the company

- 2 peoples making graphics
- 2 programmers (Stefan and a new one that is starting this Monday)
- 1 programmer to make PHP code and web site
- Me
- Someone that is translating Graal in other languages
- Starting next week we will have a full time Game Master (someone that you all known but keep the name secret for now)

All this cost a lot and with subscriptions we don't pay half of the charges...

Hawk:

Yes, unixmad, you are doing a good job, wow, alot of people starting to work, that means more updates for graal and such, right on :) Keep up the good work.
And, yes, I played that version in '98 I was in the Red Dragons.

Re: Old and site and support
 

cha-ching big cash monies.
i wonder who the new gamemaster is.

Re: Re: Old and site and support
 

same here

i think im gonna upgrade for another year with my next paycheck

Hawk:

Quite easy.
It's either Mr. Bear, or Galen.
(I have Ibonic in my mind for some reason but nevermind that) :)

Let's pray for the latter.

if Mr. bear becomes gm i will throw up on myself, and Galen would be an excellent choice :D

Not Mister Bear neither Galen...

He is a good friend of Galen..

Re: Old and site and support
 

I do the best that I can to defend you and support you without directly insulting other people. :)

Re: Old and site and support
 

the new programmer: yey someone else to bug:rolleyes:

The new GM: Yay lets hope he does the work

The old graal: I rememer that it was fun!

The Office: In this pic it looks bit small?
