The Real Oldbies

[Clash]

it seems this thread is made up of people posting a bunch of innacurately calculated join dates to make themselves seem cool or something. :totally square daddeo.: >

but none the less i will tell you my history with graal!
i am not sure what exact year i joined however it was 97/98.
i seen a entry for a java "zelda online" game one arcadepod.com, and played it for awhile and then i seen a download for a directx verison at the bottom of the page so i downloaded it.

i also remember eating taco bell tacos at the time of my first graalian java adventure. the soft kind, that you could make in the microwave. mmmmmm

also for history's sake i recall the dates of the later versions but i will only post the most significant

1.28 > earlier 1998, came with gserver for testing purposes
1.33 > dupe bug fixed with dropping hearts, late 1998
around 1.35 > kharlia released on classic overworld as the first playerworld > mid 1999
1.37ish > kharlia gains own port # > mid 1999
1.39 > serverlist - late 1999
v2 > g2k1 land > sometime in 2001. i remember kharlia going P2P because someone had decided it was a great idea to use crappy light and gani effects and then nobody paid kharlia any attention so they renamed it valikorlia only to go down for like half a year and then come back with virtue as manager (THE START OF THE PROBLEMS OH NO).

in the end
kharlia (valikorlia) was the first playerworld
kharlia was the first (and last? i dont think there were any 'gold' playerworlds besides that) gold playerworld!
kharlia i believe was the first server ever to change its name (changed back to valikorlia - the name used when it was hosted on 1.28 server)

hooray for the mother of all playerworlds - valikorlia!
