Spark910 has a spectacular aura about
''who can remember what over 30 keys do?''
Q,A,S,D,UP,DOWN,LEFT,RIGHT,F7? Those are the main ones for players, also other games use alot more.

And this must be old as it says its free, so there wasnt graalkingdoms then nor was there some of the new popular playerworlds.

Yeah, it is old. Near the bottom it says "Originally Posted on 12/14/2000"

They have more reviews too.

I go to that site for help on games I play. I usually have to go through a bunch of them until I find the information I'm looking for.
That review I see doesn't even give a good description of Graals features. And 30 keys? x.X lol

There aren't even 30 letters in the alphabet, and most of Graal's keying can be alternated in letter characters. "30 keys," haha, funny.

To all who criticzied (sp?) Seifer's review, remember that it is all opinionated. You have to understand graal is unlike most MMORPGS in the graphics, gameplay, style, and just its pretty much its own kind of category of MMORPG. This person, obviously new to graal when he reviewed it, had already played other MMORPGS and had something to compare it to, while myself, as well as many others who started this game before we got an allowance/ anything else to buy our own MMORPG had nothing to compare it to, quickly got into it, and called it the best of the best.

Reviewing "Graal" would be sort of weird now...I mean what are you going to review exactly, Graal on a whole (creating your own server and such) or a specific server like GK or G3D?

It's far to old to care about it. However we can get someone to submit an all new review for it with all of the major improvements and less exageration.

You think that is bad? Try checking the urbandictionary for Graal. That's sad.

The "Growl for Graal" one is fairly new, he speaks of the playerworld purchasing and Era.

Oman, I remember that start level, in the caves, that was awesome! How can you get lost in there...

Graal was in the FHM top 100 browser games (The Java version that is). Would that count?

In the review this thread is oringinally about it says the server is never working, having only been up once in the last 30 days. I have played since Summer 1999, and can honestly say I've only seen the servers go down a few times, and its usually fixed within a few hours. They also say you have to go to the website to log on?? Er....?? I cant remember it ever being that way...

I wish people would actually get an idea of what they're going on about before making reviews such as that.

Your missing my point.

You would need a total stranger to MMORPGS to review graal...or somebody who has not ever played one to review graal so they would not have anything to compare it to...to make it bad or good so it would have an equal chance.

True

We would need someone not bias to Graal to make a good review but, that is not going to be easy. The best we can do is have someone knowledable to the game and try to right a coherent review. Preferably with someone who has been around for awhile and talk of the changes over the last 5 years or so. Also, make sure not to have comments like "I runs very slowly and is too complicated." .

heres my review;

Graal is very very addicting, it seems to have something for ever type of player. Developers have a wide range of possibilities at their hands, normal players have a huge playerbase to talk to and play with, plus a ton of servers that are (overall) updated pretty regularly, its cheap to play, and pretty easy to use (granted your not incoherent)

On the other hand, there are a fair share of corrupt staff, and plenty of bad scripters/gfx artists/level makers working on servers. So there is usually a good fuss about stealing gfx/scripts/levels and the like. Plus alot of people that play graal should never actually be around other people. Playerkilling runs rampant all over, despite managers attempts to stop it. Plus, female players generally get harrassed alot. But, that's not much different from other MMORPGs so ohwell.

With that said, go play Graal

No vip?

Vip can also help keep ya working if you are on a private world.

Besides VIP only cost like 20 bucks. Easy to make no matter what the age, and if it helps Graal out, why not.

Same group of people trying to deserve graal by making bad review on linux sites and mac sites...

If they have time to loose to only deserve graal it's really sad for them but personally it doesn't affect me at all.

At Cyberjoueurs we do all our best to make Graal a nice place and will continue until there is enough player to pay the charges, the day a majority of Graal player wouldn't want to pay to play we will switch to something else and close everything.
