How can you stand by their rules? Its kind of stupid to ban a new person because their name is like Goku or something. I know when I started graal I didn't know a thing about PMs and staff and whatnot. There should be message as soon as you log on to Val that explains the rules and what new players should do. Not just have some ignorant staff ban a player because of their nick and they had no clue they did anything wrong. That will just give graal a bad name.. "Hey I played graal today and got banned for using my real name,... Don't play it!!" Now I doubt stefan or unixmad want people not to play graal because of staff giving out bans left and right for simple things like that.

So I should have left my name as *Lyndzey and gotten banned?

Like I said, then Koni confirmed a rule is a rule, if you don't like the rule and get annyoed by it then don't play, if you think the server is corrupt don't play, if you think the server is stupid don't play, try another less popular server you may like it, or join a populated one. But if you don't like something, dont do it.

You should have left you name but the banning is stupid. I mean come on, thats you're name and account name.. They have no control on what name you want to use. So they should not have even threatened you with it. I know if I saw a global on I wouldn't be stupid enough to ban them. Only someone that is a little to ban happy would do that.

And I know its the rules like Koni said and Spark said. But think about it. You want people to start thinking graal is a game where the staff bans you because you didn't know the rules? That will give graal a bad name.

-edit: Wait.. I thought local ban doesn't effect global staff? So why would you care Lyndzey?

Would they complain about the name Lyndzey opposed to *Lyndzey?
Maybe it's the * they don't like.

I'll go on and tell em they're crazy and setup a new system, they seem to listen to me when i'm not being a jackass.

Lyndzey · #22 12-19-2002, 02:39 PM

They don't allow * names, guild tags, unknown names, any copyright names, and names such as Lyndzey that don't fit.

I broke the rule of * and having my name as Lyndzey because it was RP enough.

Another time when I went on, my name was Empress Rinko Alaster because I just switched from 2002. They sent me a PM before I had time to change my name that was like "change your name or be banned"

There is some stupidass peice of script in their system NPC that sends you to banned.graal if you have Virtue's head. Someone told me to put it on once, and I didn't know any better. I spent the next 2 days trying to get out. What a waste of time.

The problem with that is, someone who doesnt play there, or has never played there, might go on and put on a head that isnt allowed..Is it posted anywhere what heads NOT to use?
I am afraid to go there....

It's pretty stupid to effectively ban the player just for setting a particular head. If they can't script something that gives the player fair warning or sets the head back normally then they shouldn't even be online.

I went on there last night and asked how we would know what heads not to use, and the gp chief told me that we just couldnt use any heads that started with someones nick...lol, they also told me that I had 3 minutes to change my nick because I had it like this: MoOn GoDDeSs, which is against the rules

AlexH · #27 12-21-2002, 07:06 PM

Odd.
They didn't say anything to me when I had my name as *AlexH, aLeXh or any of the other random letters I had.
I'm quite disapointed to say the least.
