It would be awesome if we could play with the Iphone users :]

Read the thread please.

So, when are they releasing a Blackberry App? I know a simple converter for iphone apps to blackberry (touchscreen and track ball/pad)

I really, really doubt that. It would be virtually impossible to do.

Nothing is impossible for blackberry phones, it's as simple as compiling it in a .cod/.alx files then remapping the buttons to the phone. There is already is a Zelda 1 remake out there for blackberry, which it works quite well with a lot of 'intensive' effects on it. If one guy could do that simply, it wont be hard to remap and reconstruct some of graal to work for blackberry.

They used an emulator, lol. That's totally different than a "converter".

The hardware is completely different, the operating system is completely different. It's not straight-forward by any means, not even in the slightest.

Add zone as one of the servers (my opinion)

Too many effects

I think that this version of the game is actually pretty fun, indeed. If there's changes made, they should be additions, and not changes to the core part of the game.

To be honest, I enjoy playing this much more than I enjoy playing Graal on PC. Graal on PC is filled with garbage and bad-looking servers (UN, Era, etc), lots of extra stuff that doesn't work, lame things like pause. If a newbie wants to avoid being PKed, he can just go inside... Being PKed isn't that big of a deal, you respawn where you died.

Graal Classic for iPhone is just pure fun, PKing, teaming up/trying not to TK, running around in mobs looking for people, without all the hassle of bad looking playerheads, worthless playerhouses, pause, and other annoyances.

One of the things I like the most is that bombs, arrows, and sword all do .5 hearts damage, which actually makes the bow useful. For close range sword is faster, because there's the delay in the bow so it's really replacing the sword by any means.

This platform fits the iPhone perfectly, as garbage like AP bars, Q-Menus, Pausing, etc would just clutter your screen or add more unnecessary menus. You can still have fun quests, puzzles, and bosses with the same platform there is now and you wouldn't compromise any of the fun.

Being a Graal player from ages ago, this is what I've been looking for. Like when complicated Art-Deco architecture gets to it's detail breaking point and becomes simplified and modern, along with musical forms of Jazz such as bebop becoming fast and overly complicated, Miles Davis comes along and strips it to it's bare minimum.

And hey, guess what? People dig it.

only bad thing is i lag terribly now that there's 50+ people on
other then that it's pretty fun

[Naytria]

Why are swords now disabled in the level outside of the bank and the rest of Graal City? This is stupid now, designated PK areas make it no fun. The whole overworld should be pk.

[oo_jazz_oo]

The 'nopk' areas arent even nopk...people just pick up signs/bushes to kill players. XD

Just enable swords everywhere....and whats the point of the one baddie outside graal castle?
Its harder than hell to beat, and its just...there. For no reason.

[Naytria]

Yeah. Swords should be enabled everywhere outside on the map, and in all dungeons.

[DustyPorViva]

Heh, so you've got a server with no quests or even a sparring system, and the only thing to do is PK and you've disabled PKing in the most popular PK spot?

[Sam]

It is necessary to give new players a chance to orient oneself in the game. They will lose interest if they getting bombed and killed all the time.

I still see Classic as a quest and adventure game. Player killing is as long interesting for the amount of people as they have some victims.
Why "encourage" players to kill players even if they just want to look around or chatting with someone else?
There are PK-Zones for those who like to fight.

iPhone Classic should be an adventure and getting quests step by step.
Don't forget Eurocenter will also earn some money, so they could instead of selling outfits, limit the quests like:
quest 1-3 is Classic Vol. 1
quest 4-6 is Classic vol. 2 and so on.
