I have original levels that look somewhat good, and the 1st thing outta someone's mouth is "that looks stolen" it never fails, give it a rest.

Yha ok......it just looks SO DAMN simmalr.......hmm maybe ill coppy all graal 2001s levels add a flower here and there and say its mine and ask fo it to be put up as a server..

Some people do care, like I would. If the level looks exactly like level you made, and you know it's yours, because it looks the same you would want to be known for your work, not someone leeching off your work. Someone think it's an honor, but not talking to the creator of the level, I don't think is right...

Babylon was so hyped up like graal 2002 butwhen it finnaly came out the level quallity was crap and theres nothing to do. And theres a n00b mafia which is the scaryest of all

Then none of you looked around babylon. First off that looks nothing like any Bravo levels, so don't say none of that BS. Babylon is an excellent server with great level quality and great NPCs. I would love to see Bravo ever have anything like it, even when Bravo was good and RacoonDog owned it. Babylon is a great server, while all of you are just jealous of it I'm sure.

That level is from the new bravo or whatever from when Brandon owned it after it went P2P. But he probably didnt steal it, just got permission from Brandon.
And Babylon is fun.

I think the noobs on Babylon have hit you one time to many which has messed with your judgment!

Even if it was stolen, there is nothing you can do about it by whining. Its there, too bad, boo hoo. Besides, there is no way to prove that YOU made it! For all we know, YOU stole it. I'm not accusing you of stealing it, but I'm trying to make a point.

Your opinion that it looks like something from another server is meaningless. If you look in this post, someONE has said that your accusations are not accurate.

Lastly, if you expect to be taken seriously by officials who may do something about your situation, act in a civilized manor, it gets you a lot farther than yelling and typing gibberish. Also, this isn't irc chat or AIM, so correct your typos if you see them

Acculy yah therees prrof that he stole it

LiquidIce: Hes the one who put it up on bravo
Brandon: Hes teh owner he saw it he knows hes asking LH to take it down.

I guess i cannot convince some people of reality. Noone stole anything anyways! Those files were free to the public, with no copyrights on them. The only people that have copyrights on anything Graal related are Mr. Knorr, Mr. ******, and the rest of Cyberjourer. Unless something breaks an official rule of Graalonline, owners of playerworlds can put whatever they want on a server. They can copy everything you have that was put online on a Graal server. Unless someone went into your computer by means of trespassing, then its not stealing as far as Graal goes. It might not be moral (which I agree, it's not), but nothing can be done.

This is probably my last post in this topic.

Lao_Su2 · #14 01-06-2002, 09:46 AM

So are you saying that it is right to do this if they did?
I mean u said that anyone can out anything that is on graal up on their own server adn i agree with that like many servers now have almost the same chat system. When the skateboards were out everyone had the same one of those and they all had bugs. i guess what im trying to say is it right to "steal" from other servers what they have worked hard on because you are lazy?

mikepg · #15 01-06-2002, 10:01 AM

Is it right, of course not! I don't agree with it, but I accept it. What I'm trying to get across here, is that people are ALLOWED to do it, whether it's wrong or whether it's right. Complaining about it does nothing, so why complain. If the owner of the server feels it's better for the server to have that particular level up, then that is what the owner is going to do.

Because this game is so free with player involvement, there is bound to be things that happen like this, as there is bound to be crime in a free society.

Look at it this way:
You are making a logo for your store. You have the GREATEST graphics and whatnot to go on your sign! Its the best anyone has ever seen. BUT, billybob down the road see's the same sign, and puts it up on his store, just changing the name. Is it legal? yes. Can anyone do anything about it? no. Is it "right" or "fair"? no.

What makes this topic even sadder, is that the server they are claiming it was stolen from, is DEAD. It is no longer alive. There have been lots of stolen levels in graal. On enigma, for example, they have a memory level of some old server in somebodies guild house. Did they MAKE that level? was it theirs? NO! Is anyone gonna do anything about it? Nope.

See what I'm getting at? The system is right, you are wrong.
