[Crono]

was a fine attempt.

if anything, your quests were probably the best graal ever got and will ever get.

I have to agree. Very nice work, I really admire your willpower. It's sad to see this happen, but not surprising.

Sorry to see the server go.

Stefan is an ostrich. Come at me bro!

Why not pass it to another developer to keep it up?
Thats the problem these days, good servers go online then the staff gets tired of it and takes it down.. When i was working for n-pulse there were atleast 5-6 different owners.
Pass it on. Dont just take it down

Considering the current state of Graal it would be pretty pointless.

In the coming months, Jigga will give us the Classic that we deserve.

The version of classic that was trashed in favor of Storm's GS2 classic? (a.k.a Tyhm's Classic)

rip classic. pc graal is dead anyways. thanks for your efforts thor.

so much potential for this game...i really wish unixmad would have just sold graal to someone that actually knew how to run a business. it's getting too late for that though...game is becoming very dated and has a pretty terrible overall reputation. if bought by the right company it could definitely be turned around. would like to see stefan retained by the buyer.

graal's biggest problems:
a) disconnection between the community and the boss (unixbread)

b) every year somehow the client GUI gets uglier and uglier (anyone ever remember when graal actually had the green theme going for it?) honestly looks like its from 1994.

c) website is extremely uninviting and bland

d) graals pointless and hard-to-navigate/confusing subscription system. seems to me they like to exploit ways to make fast cash instead of actually putting time and effort into working with current playerworld owners into a nice and well-designed cash shop with specific needs for each individual playerworld.

e) whatever happened to stefan working with top developers to create new official worlds? having the man around to add new features to the client is invaluable.


blah blah rant.

i just show up to troll and see if anything actually changes around here.

Thats because we had a very active lat team handling the overworld changes.
Archaon was a great lat admin and I think we changed/updated the entire ow like 4 or 5 times. Haha

I already tried arguing that. Just because Thor, and the current staff have given up on it doesn't mean it should be taken down. But his response was something similar to Stefan or Graal (both or just Stefan, I forget) do not deserve the hard work he has put into the server. It's kinda sad, I don't think any of us can just start from scratch and have it approved as the new GTA server either, so it just dies with Thor.

And you sure your not another "scriptless".. there seems to be a lot of him going around lately.

Hopefully when the subscription policy changes and everyone can see it's not as bad as they thought, Classic can make a return but for now I think it's best left at R.I.P.

Classic has been on a slow, downward spiral for a very long time. Those of us who have been around for it all shouldn't be surprised to see the server go and it would be hard to pinpoint exactly what caused it all.

Yes, it's very hard to see the removal of free to play, the failed NPC server transition, and overall population decline on all of Graal as the causes.
