Not to rain on your parade but that's not what happened. When 2k2 was started you sat there and said that no one would play because the terrain/3D landscape was stupid. I remember because I was one of the original staff =P

My story:

Started a long time ago, played, got Raven Chill to play. I applied to New World, got shot down, applied again and had most people wanting me in but Kyle0564 didn't because my levels didn't show detail (detail which is impossible to show in screenshots He said "Oh but look at how this level has every book having a title a short story!" How the hell do I show that in a screenshot).

I showed Birdbird my levels asking what I could do to improve and he hired me on the spot for 2k1. I did nothing as I was unfamiliar with a system where people did not give you work/projects.

I moved over to 2k2 when it started and worked on development with Birdbird, Er1c, Pir, Godspeed and some other people.

I ended up becoming an ART on Classic and then a GP the next day. I then moved up to Senior GP Captain or something or other before becoming Account Manager. I then became Accounts Admin a few weeks later. I had people (KAWAIISARA) begging for a job, but I didn't hire anyone and then I eventually got so freaking bored I quit.

IF anyone EVER tells you that being an Account Administrator is hard they are lying through their teeth. It's extremely easy, Lyndzey and I were actually discussing how easy it was last time we talked.

[AlkarenHyralt]

I started playing graal for a short time in 2000 or so. Maybe 1999...its been a long time so I don't recall which it was. This was when the GSCCC forum invaded graal and a majority of them got banned. Most for raping trees. I left after a few months since I didn't play too often.

I started playing again in April 2001. I played on classic for a few months, and became really good friends with then FAQ SnakeEyes.

I read the forums and watched the graal drama unfold and everything, and eventually wanting to become part of these forums, I upgraded in June 2001 and started posting.

Now as most old school people will remember all I did though was post on the forums. I *never* played the game at all. As time went on the forums started to slink into worse and worse decline due to neglect from unixmad and stefan (at this time kids the forums were not even remotely actively run and no super-mods had existed for a while, and many mods were AWOL.)

One night while playing classic though..I'd say in late september, galen came online. Knowing the past with galen and his level of importance back in old days (and the fact he was an administrator on the forums) I PMed him and talked to him about the state of the forums, and what I wanted to see happen and such, and basically asked him to put in a request to make me administrator of the forums, as no one else was attempting to do anything with the forums, as they were pretty dead as well.

He couldn't do that but he did make me supermod of the forums, and I started to run the forums through him (I'd tell him what I needed done if I couldn't do it, and he'd do it from the AdminCP).

I set up new forum rules and began to rebuild the forums. Eventually becoming reconized as the administrator of the forums I built them back up to a thriving place and put in place the supermod Vermain and Aftershock.

In november a few months later I was playing Graal 2001 to kill some time and Birdbird_0, the Police Chief at the time pmed me and asked me to submit an application for police. After a bit of convincing by him I did, (I never had considered an ingame staff postion as the forums were really all I cared about...and I only had like 40 hours or something). I was hired as a trial officer the next day and began my ingame staff career. The next day I was made a full officer. On the 2nd day of being a full police pofficer birdbird once again pmed me, but this asking if I would like the job of police chief as he was retiring from it. Unknown to me at this time Loriel, then GM had wanted me to become the new police chief (even though I hadnt tlaked to him once). I accepted the job and became police chief on 2001.

I stayed police chief for about 5 months. During that time the global postion make-up had changed. The old AA had been removed and Ageloas was made the new accounts admin which opened up a place for an accounts manager.

Ageloas wanted me to fill the postion but did not want to take me from Graal 2001...so birdbird, the manager of 2001 at the time removed me from the Police Chief postion and I was made accounts manager.

During all the time as staff on Graal and administrator of the forums graal itself had gone into a step decline and I had lots of plans and ideas for Graal and I knew how things needed to be fixed. For a long time the postion of game master had been empty and so no leadership was there since unixmad and stefan didnt take an active part of the game.

I got to be good friends with unixmad during my time as accounts manager (it was unixmad who gave me my RC as well.)

After being in the accounts manager postion for a few weeks I had a long talk with unixmad one night after talking to Nemesis the PWA at the time.

By the end of the conversation I became game master, with nemesis as asst. GM.

I stayed game master and forum adminstrator for over half a year or so, until due to a long, long argument with unixmad I was ousted from my postions and I left the game.

(by the way lyndzey it was me who made you accounts admin.)

Yea, I remember talking to you in the AIM chat that night. I just couldn't remember your name since I had taken a year off from Graal.

really really really weird..whenever you were an admin you hired me on your team


FAQ, Events Team, ART, and Police you all hired me for.

I GUESS WE ARE JUST SOULMATEZ.

[Shiftk03-]

It all started one drunken night in a hotel room with Lyndzey. Things began to get hot and heavy so I suggested we play a game on the computer. She showed me Graal and we all lived happily ever after. Somewhere inbetween all the romance and action, we made PPA on Era with Ghost Pirate and shockedfrog.

Some say that on quiet nights, you can still hear Lyndzey shouting "RABID FOR LYFE, SON".

[OasaTor_PK]

Teh Oasa Story.. A long long time ago, in a playerworld far far away, lived a man named Joe Black..

Joe Black. I started Graal in 99' with one of my best friends in real life. We had begun the Baby Burger family in 99' on good graal. I played there, untill the dawn of Bravo Online, my belovid Bravo as a new name, as "Hoieo," my home for approximatelly 1 and a half years, then my PC broke. When I had returned, Bravo had died, then I had moved to UN..

From 2001-2002, it was all UN for me, I gained over 500 hours, then the ghost.. Then came the big day, pay to save. I had not payed.

2002-2004- I was gaven an account, and used it on Babylon, where I obtained my first developmental job as LAT. I then moved on to lesser things such as ET, because of times in life.. When Babylon went private, I had bought my own account, from a dear friend named Zippy, he payed for 1 year gold, and I had moved to Graal Kingdoms..

Early 2004 - Present: Graal Kingdoms is now my home, though it is slowly disapearing from lack of players, I am still active, and have just reached me 1000hours online mark.

That is my Graalian history..

Haha, no way. ART was actually a serious staff team? I thought it was just a front for admins to get their unqualified friends access into the RC chat room.

Here's my story:

-Started off playing classic briefly then moved to UN.

-On UN got interested in how to make things, created my first house with the famous 'beer script'.

-Met Snakeandy and Wan, two level makers started creating a playerworld called 'Tabisan'.

-Playerworld obviously never took off, just being a newbie project. Moved to Mithica got my first job as NAT. Learned quite alot there. This is also when I met Chrisz and anU.

-Moved to Andor, as a scripter was there for quite some time. Andor then was converted into Bravo.

-By this time, I was doing quite alot of scripting, from one playerworld to the next.

-ERA. Dawn of a new one for me at that, Chrisz talked angel into me being NPC Admin there, having met him on Mithica.

-Became Co Manager, then Manager.

-Padren, from GK asked me to help with a few scripts for dustari, this giving me debug access.

-Left graal for a good month, because of reasons outside of graal, obviously handing over managment.

-Came back to graal, not for era, but i thought I may aswell put my skills to good use and so I became GST.

Post your story

You didn't mention me at all. I love you.

[Kuza]

- Found Graal by searching for some Zelda ROMs.
- Logged onto Classic, messaged *BloodySin and asked him if he had ever played Vagrant Story.
- Played Bravo Online and met Nishoku and Viktor. Received my first job as an LAT. Bravo Online went down just as the idea of all P2P playerworlds begun...
- Became interested in Nish and Viktor's Xone project. Nishoku knew I was a good LAT and hired me as the LAT Admin for Xone. This was my most memorable time during Graal. Corruption lead to the demotion of Nishoku who stepped down. Viktor didn't want to be owner and gave ownership to me. Stefan took the server down completely.
- Met Warcaptain who had helped with Xone. He let me try Graal2001 with his P2P account. I upgraded the next day.
- I played G2k1 for over two years on several accounts; Kasuagi, Muroshi and Kuza. I had three jobs; FAQ, Auctioneer and Events Team. I enjoyed all of them.
- G2k1 went down.
- Here.

[Zurkiba]

Where to begin =x

First I started off on Classic (the only server at the time). This was back when everything sucked, including the levels. Like Avalon was just fugly placed under the overworld. Like it used to be on the mainland.

Over time I use agressive tactics to take a guild called Graal Royal Army. A pretty popular guild at the time, we fought the Venture Vampires and whatnot.

Then I started to go to Xonline a lot, I was following a girl named Celestia (probably my best friend at the time). That's where I met Missing Link Merai and Kawaii Saria and whatnot (Kawaii was actually an owner of Xonline at the time). I made a lot of good friends on Xonline including Outpost (former Valikorlian Admin, well known there) and Axel (if you dont remember Axel then you must be ***). On Xonline I also met a (b/w)itch that people called Undine, the self proclaimed Queen of Graal. Think an Etien, only worse (yes, worse). I suppose my first ammount of clout came when I defeated her on Xonline and Classic by swaying opinions. She went to Dino Land and they basicly banned her. Yeah, then they made 2k1 and I was reluctant to join it because everyone else was all 'OMG P2P ISH TEH GEHY'. I was one of those newbies with a sign post saying 'YOU CANT MAKE US PAY!'.

So I upgraded shortly after that. I got Axel to upgrade too. In the start we basicly just stayed in the admin house. That's where we met CheeToS, James, and.....(GAH WHAT WAS HIS NAME? SLYP? something like that?). Basicly I tried to enslave the bomies, because at the time it was crazy unbalanced with pearl diving (because 5 gralats was actually something back in the day). That failed. Around that time I was really hooked into The Godfather, so I made the Warhare Family. It kind of turned into a different kind of guild. I'll talk about it all when I quit or something. None the less, I joined Dustari and met Tupper, Gryffon, and Aftershock. I quickly rose through the ranks. Within a month I was a Duke, mainly because I owned 51% of Dustari's coffers. I suppose that's when I started to become well known.

I was hired for all the 2k1 jobs. At the time Kamuii was manager of 2k1 and King of Dustari, never really met him much . I was selected Zormite Governor for Dustari, but it went wrong so I just conquered it instead. Became leader and blah blah blah.

I'm getting tired of writing. So basicly I made a lot of friends and got their help for my success. Basicly what shockedfrog's quote says. I also got jobs on a lot of servers doing work. A majority of my success dealt with being assertive, leadership, oldbie status, and I guess personallity? I dunno.

[pacMASTA]

it all started when i was bored and my friend came over with a Final Fantasy and hotpockets and we were like FF is geting boring so he shew me graal and then the craving kicked in. I've basicly been playing about 2months before "Graal Gold" was released.

[zokemon]

Been playing graal for 6 some odd years but recently I have been gone for 9 or so months (school) now I am back for the summer and I notice almost all my contacts are gone. All I have worked for seems to have disappeared. Nice to see that you could leave and come back to be a GST but when I left I came back to desilation...

[Scott]

I played single player for the longest time way back when before
P2P... because I didn't know about drop down boxes' then. ;___;

After I got online, I checked out Npulse. Some chap named Phlacer
helped me out... never saw him again.

Used to do wars against TCN in Dark City... chilled with Redflair,
Mankind23, and Nemesis (Before he went all global.)

After Geovanie quit, I quit.

Went to Providence after a few months. Neonight hired me to do levels.
Became friends with Jagen. Him and I argued with the other staff alot.
Kamuii, Jeff, Neo, Mido, etc. I really didn't like the feel of the
staff... we all argued so much. That's where Jagen and I became
friends. Then he became Global and I never talked to him much after
that... I mean we talked, but not as much. D: Played JOII with Neo and
him a few times.

Didn't really play much after I quit Providence as GM. I came back to
find it gone from the serverlist. Messed around. Got a P2P upgrade
from a guy... then went to play on 2k1 every now and then.

Within this time span I learned I had a passion for art, because I did
a pixel scene with level tiles once. I did a bunch of misc jobs on
servers like Bravo, Babylon, Delteria, etc.

Some personal projects, as some of you may remember, were Natsuko
(With NyghtGT), Arid Haven, Symphony, anddd others. Worked on
Tribulation a bit too with giltwist and madmartigan.

Got a job on 2k1... did a bunch of **** like a huge addition to the
Zal labs... and made a bunch of tiles for some new kingdoms. Quit
because Shadow and I were the only ones working. D:

Ya. I don't know. There's alot of random things that happend that I
can't remember. I've worked with alot of people... DV on Titan... and
other crap. WC on Enigma... blah blah. Graal 2230... a butt load
really.

Now I don't play Graal and haven't really played it since 2k1. Never
went to 2k2, ever.

Oh, awhile ago I only really remained in the community because I
wanted to become GGT and help out. I never got on the team. Tell me
why the **** not. Whatever. <3

[papajchris]

Started Playing UN, then i got banned and went to babylon... Babylon shut down so i made zodiac. Zodiac Died and then i gave the server to a friend.... He hired alot of people and then got banned so i retook server and well it went uphill from there..

[coreys]

-Started graal in late 2001. Started out on UN for about a month, then went to Babylon.
-Played and loved babylong dearly until its last days of classic. In that time I worked on a few noob servers, slowly learning a bit of the basics of some development but never getting anywhere decent at them.
-Hung around random servers, just becoming a drifter. Eventually gaining a good ammount of gfxing experience.
-Got a job as Gani Team on Aeon. Became Gani Admin within hours.

-Became a bit disinterested in graal, and didn't do much on it, while working on getting an actual life and a project outside of graal. Mostly Halo 2 on x-box live tho.
-Got back into doing actual work on Aeon. After 2 or 3 months, I became Developer, and eventually Lead Developer.
-Started my own project on Aeon, which i still work on from time to time. For the most part I don't do much work on Aeon anymore, cause of a lack of time.
-When Aeons activity went real low, I decided to finally accept the constant job offer of GAT on Maloria. Eventually became Asst. GFX Team Chief.
-My friend Louie started a server, which I Co-Manager, and most of my work is spent on. Most of development is done/lead by me, with additional ideas and leadership form louie.
-I became a Developer on Maloria.

And here I am now. All over a span of almost 5 years. Gosh, why have I stayed on graal this long?!

[smirt362]

I remember I was looking for the playerworlds server software (anyone heard of it?_, I found the website, and apparently Graal bought the rights to the software and their page redirected me to this site and I decided to try it. My first server was Delteria, then I was off and on for awhile, came back to Delteria...got banned for some bum reason, went to Shaded Legends, then the playercount dropped and I wandered. After much wandering I came to Maloria. Got a dev position and now I'm the head admin.

Before this and woven inbetween I was on Habbo Hotel, Furcadia, various playerworlds...it's been quite awhile. Dont think my memory is good enough to give various dates...would be kinda neat if you could look up how old your account is.

[NeoJenova]

Started last week..
Got a wife... AsHLeY -=HUSBAND NEOJENOVA=-
Adopted a kid... Baby ReeRee -=[dad is neojenova]=-
Won my first event...

YAY LOL AWSOME!

[Draenin]

Yeah, I've been wondering about the exact date when my first F2P account was made for a while now.

[killerogue]

Back in starting at the beginning of this year I got my start at GFXing heads for people on Unholy Nation. This was long before I knew much of anything about Developement. I had tried tiling a few times and this and that but nothing big. In April a good friend payed for a gold account for me which opened up my Graal world he quit but having this account allowed me to meet some of my present day friends such as Draenin and smirt. :]

[Matman58]

Hmm...ok lets see.

1. Started playing graal back sometime when is was just Classic you could connect to and you had to type the ip to connect. Became fasinated with the GP position on there. Bugged GPs about being staff obviously never happened.

2. Multi-playerworlds came about started playing the server Lostworld for a long time where I joined my first guild called The Flames. Began toying with levels but nothing more.

3. Costa De Agua and Celestia came about in the PW world, met a lot of people and made a lot of close friends that is how me and Spanky first met was on CDA. Got my first job on Celestia as Guild Admin and then became the servers GM and stayed with them till its demise.

4. My next endevor came with Dolphonia, made lots of friends there and also became the GM there. Server had a lot of potential was the first Era type server but used the regular graal tyle set. Met Soto there and then it was brought to an end by a hackor named GhostHacker.

5. My journey then turned to Graal 2001 when it was released. I remember this is where I first met Stefan. We talked occasionally. I also made a friend name Genmo on there me and him always were trying to come up with ideas for Global Jobs to try to get somewhere in the game. Wasnt really a power trip. One night I thought of the group now known as PWA. But I thought of it as a Playerworld Admin that just tested playerworlds and then if they were good pass them on to Stefan for final approval and then put up. Well I told Genmo about this idea and well he went to Stefan before I did and low and behold Stefan loved the idea and made it into life and appointing him as PW Admin and I become a Asst. to him. Genmo was around through the demise of Elven Lands but then disappeared. I began talking with Stefan more about the position and me taking over...instead Geovanie Legend came back and took over as PW Admin and I was his Asst. This I didn't mind. I got to know the legend very well and we actually did a lot of work together. Eventually Stefan wanted to bring him back as Accounts Admin and he did and I was appointed as PW Admin finally.

6. As PW Admin I never had anything other than a tag to identify myself and the good old [email protected] e-mail address where players sent there playerworlds to be looked at. As PW Admin I tested many playerworld. I was very stingy on passing, I never passed anything that was just nonsense. My first PW approval was Unholy Nation which still stands on the PW List as one of the most player servers. I take pride in seeing that. Then I passed Doomsday. I did look at Providence and was waiting for more updates to it but I stepped down before it was passed. I passed a few others such as Babylon. None though have held the reighn like UN. I eventually had to step down due to school becoming a priority and passed the position to Kronan. And then the PW Admin stopped and the PW Administration was formed and so on....

7. I then moved on from graal play 2k1 till its demise and then I disappeared for awhile. I later returned and I now play off and on. I have held numerous staff positions on many playerworlds since I was PW Admin but never seemed to find a PW that was going somewhere. A brief list of worlds I have worked on were...
Frolic, Multiple Bravo Projects, CDA, Celestia, Classic, UN (Briefly), and others.

8. Now I just get on once and awhile to see whats new. I see new people all the time and see less and less of the people I used to know, and less people that ever remember me being PW Admin. Well that is my graal legacy in a nut shell.

[lancelot9]

My story:

1. Started playing graal around 2000-ish

2. stayed on UN mainly until i discovered era

3. noticed eras shotgun sucked.. and i tried to make it better

4. Got interested in the GATing process after messin with eras mistakes

5. Owned you all
(Thanks to GX and Atrius/Icarus and OW for gettn me this far )

[Draenin]

How did you get there?

I was actually born backwards, so each day you see me, I am getting a day younger, and one day, I will simply vanish from existence. So, to say the least, I have already gotten to where I am now, and I've already seen everything that is to come when I was younger.

[excaliber7388]

Started around 2000, a friend at my school showed me it.
Went on N-Pulse (his server of choice)
Played around there for a while
Played on other Classic servers, including Classic, UN, and some other ones I can't remember
Played on Un the most, still didn't have a p2p, so I would just start by getting most of the hearts and all of the swords in about 10 mins
Came back to NPulse, became the greatest ET they evah had
Got fired...for PKing the manager lol (I forgot I left my tag on, hey, I was still a noob)
Started making my own server, looked like a mix between classic, and UN (as in easy quests, but classic levels)
Played graal off and on, got a p2p here and there, shared accounts (got rid of them all when I found out it was against the rules, of course, told the owners to change their passwords, etc). Sharing is BAD
Restarted making the server, now have a slightly different storyline.
This went on for a while, still only have a trial account
FINALLY got a p2p account of my own, so I could have a PW
Worked really hard on DR, mostly by myself, but also with some help of a few dedicated staff members (Shad, Vima-up untill a while ago)
And then I posted my history on these forums

[Idrox0]

Well, as far as I know, I'm an insignificant flea in the Graal community, but hey, this is something to do .

The first time I saw Graal was, in early 2002. At that point, I was nine, and had no idea how to do anything with this program. I don't believe I actually ever left that main page... Anyway, I didn't do anything with it.

Later that year, I found the website once more, And the only thing I really remember was that it was hell trying to get an account; for some reason, I never got the validation e-mail o.o.

After many attempts, I finally got my account and began playing. I was around on Delteria and Valikorlia, and a little bit of The Adventure. Eventually, I had my dad purchase a P2P account for me. That was one of my most exciting weekends ever.

As far as I recall, I began on Graal Kingdoms, developing a crappy Warrior who developed into a semi-weak Mage, through the help of some guy... I can't remember his name, but he was awesome. After my few months expired, I spent most of my time on The Adventure. I had barrels of fun completing all the quests, finding trees that mimic your chat text, and laughing my head off when I saw Cid as a character. I ended up having a good amount of all the items. Enough, at least, so that I had to scroll down my Q menu to get to some of them. I also ended up spending a lot of my time on Babylon, because it was just plain cool.

Throughout all of this, I slowly, but surely, gained knowledge in the ways of GraalScript. Kaimetsu was a great help to me. I remember getting into a debate with some guys about what 'pretty good' meant, as far as scripting prowess.

Once in The Adventure, a Mass PM caught my eye. Someone was asking how to make a beer script of some sort. I gave him a quick answer and he asked if I wanted to be a scripter on his server, Spartica. I had a good time there, mainly being an idiot, but learning a lot as well. I still remember one weapon I made that created a radius-3 explosion on every tile... That lagged the server for at least 30 seconds... Eventually, the server sort of went poof, and I couldn't access it. I was sad, because I had never 'been fired' before.

At some point, Zone was created, and I had a blast on there. I was always a Medic playing Capture the Flag, running around and healing people until they say "I'm full". I think that Zone never should have changed after that. What Zone is now is a disgrace to what it once was and what it could have been.

And then, that dreaded day came, when The Adventure was lost. The server had to be reset to make way for NPC-Control, and Graal truly lost something that will never come back.

Eventually, I figured I would do something with my time, and got a job as a scripter on Classic. I felt I couldn't do the job well enough, and quit. I got to know Massokre during that time.

I was chilling on some server on July 6th of this year, when a guy Mass PMs asking for people to work on a server, one that was 'out of the ordinary'. I did some stuff on there, got better at GS2 scripting, and so on. I was there for exactly a week before the server became a test server for Relic. During my week there, the 'Day of Graal3D' occurred (July 12, 2006), which was quite funny.

At this point I was in the mindset that more often than not, unhosted playerworlds fail. They come and go, and you have to deal with it.

On the 26th of August, I joined another little playerworld for 11 days, eventually getting fired for being right (For good reason; Riley Fiery thought Dexterity and Endurance were synonymous!). I continually debated with him (not arguing; I was using logic; I even showed him the definitions of each...) and he would not accept it. Eventually his head asploded and I was fired. A friend I had made on the server also got fired for backing me up, but she was banned for 10 years also, for 'Account Sharing'. I'm pretty sure that's not proper conduct. Correct me if I'm wrong. I still find it hilarious I was fired, though xD.

The same day, my friend (Silica) found a new server to work on, and I was invited on as well. Since that day, I have been working on Alexia Kingdom, where all of the high staff wear red (conspiracy? xD). As far as I know, I'm the NAT Admin (there aren't any other NATs...), and I'm having a good time. The high staff I've interacted with are all female (now that I think about it, I've only seen two guys on there), and I seem to get along with them fine. It's been eight days, now. I might actually break my record .



I now consider myself a veteran of Graal. I've seen what it is, inside and out. My scripting is no longer 'pretty good', and I love what I do on here. I'm what some might call a 'good guy' that strives for the impossibility of omniscience, and tries to be the best he can be. Not many of you know me, I'm sure, but I hope you have enjoyed my history of Graal.

i slept my way to the top

[Aknts]

I started in 1.28 with N-Pulse. Loved it! My first name was Spunky. People kept killing me when I started so I tricked them and changed my name to Spanky.

From N-Pulse I went to CDA. I bugged the Head Level Maker (Cloud) to tell me how to make levels. At the time all levels were horrible. He showed me and I started messing around.

After getting hired there I started my own playerworld called "Archemedes" I finished it completely and it got passed but never put up. It was bad to todays standards.

From there I started whoring my way to playerworlds because I began to get better. I probably worked at all playerworlds during 1.41 at sometime. I went to whatever server would give me the must stuff.

After applying many times and failing miserably to be a LAT on Graal2001 I finally applied threw Stefan and got the job. Loriel said I sucked at levels at the time. =( I worked there and I began working on other projects such as Frolic/Krynn/Tempest of Time and Faheria. All servers had great potential but good help is hard to find.

I stuck around awhile with Krynn and Graal2001. At one point I was Head Level Maker for Graal2001 and jumped when Stefan told me too. I suppose from my hard work and dedication he put Krynn up as 1 of the first private servers free.

From me leaving Graal2001 and me stopping Krynn I haven't done much of anything. I am lazy and levels makers don't have the same competition with other level makers like we used to. Mmmmkay, Birdbird and Oni-Link to name a few-were great to make you think about how you are going to design a level. They left and there was no need to be creative.

I guess now all there is making levels a premium is Wan.

Hmm, I don't remember when I first started, but it was when you had to upload levels through the website that you wanted them to put on classic, and people could vote on them, and if Classic didn't want them, they simply deleted them. (1.28 maybe?)

Started on Classic obviously. My first nick was "Princess of the Stars", then "Moon Goddess" Made friends such as Zorro, Deeto, Haromaru (SM), and lots of people that I have forgotten their nicks =(
Put up with a lot of crap from players about my age, and had to fight almost constantly, which didn't bother me because this is why I liked Graal.

Joined one Guild, TAW, then became Queen for awhile (right after Lycia), but gave it up when I didn't have time for it because of NP

After awhile messing around with levels, I made a town named Goddess Town, and uploaded it to the site to be put on Classic. They refused it many times, so I kept working at it, but they still refused it, so I sent it to N-Pulse when it came online.
GeozGirl asked me to be a LAT, and uploaded Goddess Town onto NP.

So, I moved over to NP as a LAT, where I moved up to LAT Captain, LAT Chief, then eventually Goevanie handed the server over to me to Manage. I managed it for years, then finally quit when I felt I could no longer manage for a lot of different reasons.

Now, all I do is play occasionally, and moderate the forums.

Heya.

It strikes me as odd that now... Two? Three? Years later, you still care about this. (Edit: But this could be because you posted it in 2005, seeing as I'm blind and can't see the posted dates XD)

Quite frankly I hardly remember this, but if you want to say you made a silly golf script that didn't actually work (probably no thanks to my "help"
), go ahead. I just remember you as a cool guy, no need to bear grudges after so long.

I got tired of graal and left / got fired / whatever happened. I decided to do a quick google search on myself and found this again, so I decided to make amends / set the record straight. Peace

Hrm, well my cousin, Ryudo Maxon, told me to make an account and try it out first, before i judged it. I originated on Delteria, making friends such as Locke, duder, Alamaris, Vash Ekio, and ect, and also being the most hated player on Delteria for about a year and a half, mostly due to my immaturity and annoying personality, but that was years ago.

I first joined the guild called, ROGUE,which lasted for about 1 eyar, but then the leader just randomly disappeared, then the guild died out. I then joined TNR (Tornova Republic) in late 02-03 i think it was and ive been in it ever since. Im currently the Graal Division Leader of TNR . But anyway, ive been playing delteria for years and it's definantly my home (When the playercount is decent). Oh yea, my originally/very 1st account is 'matt8891'.
