Whoo...ok this could take awhile....


I first started back when you could only connect to one server and that was Classic. I played there for the longest time. I remember I used to do RP in chatrooms on AOL and my friend told me he found this cool online rpg game. He gave me the link and I dled graal and started playing. Anyways I played classic only for about a year.



I remember Updates came and went and eventually I noticed there was different worlds to go to after one update. I didn't think it was possible to go to any of these other worlds at first but I soon found out that I could. So I started doing a lot of server jumping.


I fell in love the Playerworld called Lostworld which was owned by a guy named Lionhart. I believe thats what his name was. Anyways as time went on I met this guild on there called The Flames. I remember they had the most awesomest guild house on Lostworld...in fact that was like where everyone hung out. I later became a member in The Flames and had lots of fun on the server. Eventually Lionhart did an update and changed the overworld of the server and it really sucked but I kept playing and hanging out at the guild house. Then one day I got on and Lostworld was gone. I assume Lion had it shut down or Stefan shut it down.


Then I remember I went to Graal 3000 and started playing. I probably played there for a good 3 months and tryed so hard to become a GP. Never happened though. Eventually Graal 3000 went down as they wanted to remodel.....


Then came my next PW. Bravo Online back when RacoonDog owned it. It wasn't even popular I used to play it though a lot after G3000. Then Racoon put up this one room place where you could only pk or just sit at tables cause he was remaking it all....I remember waiting weeks for it prolly pking tons of people in that little pk zone. THen one day I got on there and he had put the new overworld up and I played that did all the quests and met this guy named Richard me and him because great friends and were like high priest on Bravo.


I remember he told me he was working on a PW called Dolphonia with Delph Inc and Delta. As time passed and me and Richard became closer friends he got me a job as GP Chief on Dolphonia and about a few days after I got the job Stefan put Dolphonia up. So I played there a lot cause I was staff for the first time ever. I spent tons of time there then I remember Richard deleted the overworld of Dolphonia cause he got pissed at Delph about something so he was fired and the overworld was put back up. Then I got promoted to GM of Dolphonia.


THat was when I made my first true level and it was my house which I put on the server. It was a decent level for then so yea. Anyways time pasted and I met two of possibly my oldest graal friends...and they were Soto and Neo-Glyphix.


I remember they both begged and begged me to become staff and I always would not answer and they would just follow me around and keep asking. So eventually I talked to them and became friends. Also as I became friends with them the server was hacked and Stefan took it down.


I kinda stopped playing graal then till Elven Lands and Costa De Agua came about...then I picked up playing again and I became Levels Admin on CDA and met a guy named Genmo on Elven Lands. CDA was fun then I told the owner I was going on vacation or something and I would be gone for a week so he fired me from there. But I do remember on CDA I did meet two more special friends of mine which was Spanky and Monkey. They were awesome. I remember SPanky I think was still a newb at the time but look what he has become now.


ANyways about that Genmo guy on Elven Lands....me and him became friends and then 2k1 came about me and him both started playing on there a lot and hanging out. And that is when I met Stefan in the game for the first time was on 2k1....I was like all amazed when I met him and then I got this thought I wanted to be graalonline staff.


So I thought to myself of something that I could do to help graal and then I would ask Stefan...I eventually came up with the idea of a Playerworld Admin which would be the person who would test the PWs and send them to Stefan if they were good enough.....I ended up telling Genmo my idea and he backstabbed me and went to Stefan with the idea and Stefan thought it was a great idea and Genmo was named the first PW Admin and the job came into existence. (Note this is the beginning of what the PWA is now) I was furious that Genmo screwed me over but I went with it and Genmo made me his asst. Though nothing ever got done when Genmo was it or anything from what I understood.


Then Genmo disappeared and Stefan was forced to appoint a new Admin which I thought was gonna be me. Yet by then I had become friends with Geovanie Legend. And He ended up getting made the next PW Admin and I was his asst. Which I like because he actually got stuff done. I worked under him for prolly a good month or so and then the Account Admin job came open and Geo got promoted back to Account Admin again....


So Geo then appointed me as PW Admin (approved by Stefan of course) I then took over as PW Admin and prolly tested 100 or more worlds. Only passing, Unholy Nation, Enigma, Frolic, Doomsday, and I believe the last one I passed was Babylon. Which all were up and are still up or were up at one time.


Anyways....I evetually stepped down as PW Admin due to some school issues and handed the ranks over to Kronan then I attempted to come back and it didn't work out and I acted like a 2 year old and caused a bunch of crap. And i believe Jinx or someone took over the PW job.


I then continued playing 2k1 and become friends with lots of people such as SLP, Hype, SS Goku (Shadow Angel) and many others. But then 2k1 started going down hill because the release of kingdoms came and the playercount on 2k1 dropped and so being I didn't like kingdoms to much I decided to call it quits...so I disappeared from graal and I just recently came back to graal when the new PW system was released along with 2k1 becoming graal classic.

Well that is my story I know I forgot some other stuff but I know your all asleep now so yea.

Have fun!
