Game Really Addicts And Lags


Actually, graal is a French word meaning "chalice", from which we English-speakers derived "grail." And you say it pretty close to "grawl." So I render it as Grawl, or The G Thing (at my house, the G thing is Graal and the V thing is Videlicet, due to people who cannot pronounce those words).

I Pronounce gr-ale, because in classic, the quest was searching for the 4 grails, so that's my reasoning behind that ....

I pronounce it as Grail. Because in classic server the whole reason was to find the 4 Gails.. I.E. what someone else said about it. Thus the name was became Graal. Since i think of some copywrite laws or soemthing but i pronounce it Grail. want to hear me pronounce graal?

[Edit] and that was kamuiis voice?[/Edit]

I wasn't talking about your .wav I didn't even listen to that since I know how to pronounce it. I just meant it as an explanation to the person who originally posted the question.
