Graal was designed by Linux Cyberjoueurs for online gamers between
12 years old to 65 years young. The concept of Graal is to provide a fun alternative to the proliferation of shooter games available today. Here are some of the features in Graal :
* Many quests in Graal require players to work together. This increases the team spirit among players and creates a strong community.
* Immediate Fun. Graal can be downloaded and played immediately. There are no complicated rule-books or controls, no adult themed content. Just diverse and constantly evolving fun in a vast, virtual world!
* Players can use tools to create their own content, such as their own quests and even entire worlds. By using these tools, players learn to design interactive scenarios and basic programming skills. Players also work together on larger projects.
* Graal includes administration tools for monitoring player chat, to control cheating, and to resolve disputes. These tools let us ban players who threaten others beyond competitive gameplay or who make sexual or racist comments.
* Players are anonymous. No personal player information recorded during game registration is available to other players. Individual player information will never be sold or otherwise made available to third party mailing lists or advertisers.
* Player characters can learn fun skills as an alternative to violent activities: Diving for pearls, fishing, farming, mining, crafting diamonds and much more
* There is no violence involving dismemberment, blood and guts, or any other form of graphic violence. If there is a sparring competition, the defeated players lose very little and their character is fully functional after only a few seconds.
* Advertising is strictly controlled by GraalOnline. No advertising will be allowed from any third party selling products which are unacceptable for the children or the general public.
