If someone made a computer game where you are a terrorist and you have to crash a plane into a building, lawsuits would be all over the place, yet world war 2 games can sell like crazy. The world is ****ed.

I'll wholeheartedly agree with that. There is a whiff of hypocrisy in the air amongst some people, not all, but some of them.

Do you play CounterStrike?

THEN YOUR EVIL YOU PLAY A GAME THAT REMINDS PEOPLE OF TERRORISTS



Just kidding...

merlin:

graal staff it its best.

[konidias]

It doesn't really bother me.. although you think it would make some people uneasy, knowing that the people that put it in the game, probably have your home address.

I applaud your maturity.

If you've read anything on the website or had any common sense at all, you would have realized that graal is geared more towards children. If you were just a bit smarter, you also would have realized that if it is geared towards children that are at least 12 years of age, it wouldn't have extreme stuff that would be in a game with a mature rating. Diablo 2 has a mature rating, graal is geared towards children, so why are you trying to compare the two and justify using something in Diablo with something in graal?

Acculy I guess you didnt read the rules. You have to be 13 years old to sign up for an account on GraalOnline and i Think when your 13 you understand things that happen in the world.
I want to swear and cuss at you so bad right now.

Obviously you didn't read the rules and websites.

From the Graal2001 Website

Graal was designed by Linux Cyberjoueurs for online gamers between 12 years old to 65 years young.

From the Graal2001 Website

The Federal Trade Commission's Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (COPPA) is intended to protect the privacy of children using the Internet. As of April 21, 2000, many Web sites are required to obtain parental consent before collecting, using, or disclosing personal information from children under 13.

Your post doesn't even make sense... 13 is the age you have to be to register an account without parental consent... If you are under 13, you need to have a parent or guardian to give consent and have them register it for you. Even if what you said was true, what difference does one year make? And I never said that the anthrax being on graal2002 offended me, I said that it should be removed because it offends other people, including a few of my friends who do not have p2p accounts. And I also never said that Anthrax shouldn't be in a game without a Mature rating, I said that Ghost Pirate is not able to justify DIABLO 2 having Anthrax in it with Graal having Anthrax in it, because Diablo 2 has a Mature rating and Graal doesn't, so they cannot be compared. Seriously, you all should read things for what they are and not try to twist them. The arguments in this thread don't even make sense anymore, so it should be locked. And to all the people above, just because someone pointed the anthrax thing out, it doesn't give you the right to mock and make fun of the 9/11 attacks... not only is it going off topic, it is showing that you are completely immature and ignorant.

Your points are way differant. The nuke was what, 50 years ago? I'm sure the Japanese didn't wouldn't want to see that much nukes in games for a few years...

Jets are common things, not meant for killing. Anthrax isn't common, and is meant for killing.

I also think it's stupid to take anthrax out, it's just like any other weapon or poisen. But, if people are offended by it, it won't hurt us to rename it. Really, what do you care if they change the name of the anthrax to plague? If it offends people, may as well change it.

THINK -> POST

50 years ago, they didn't have videogames. Maybe pong. In early stages.

Jets are made for killing most of the time. Antrax is more common then you think. IT'S A SPORE. NOT A BOMB.

Okay. Stop being stupid. Anthrax is, of my knowledge, a spore. A spore! You may be able to find it in barns! It is not a bomb. Stefan will not go over to your house, ring the doorbell, throw white powder on you, and scream "BOO YOU'RE DEAD."

Besides, Anthrax is actually easy to get off, if you're quick. Don't breathe it in, get to a phone as quick, call 911, and just wait. Breathe as little as possible. DO NOT MOVE ASIDE FROM GETTING THE PHONE - That will spread the spores around.

Oh god. Its not making fun of 9/11 its nto saing "this is anthrax HAHA AMERICA" no.
Its just talking about something that exists in life gawd.

[Kuza]

Things like this aren't supposed to be found in games. We play games to escape from the real world, and then we stumble across antrhax? There could of been another poison used in place of anthrax of all things. Venom for crying outloud, poison, toxin, etc.

ANYTHING would of been better than anthrax. Gimme a break.

I know they didn't have games 50 years ago. I meant IF they did have games, they wouldn't want to see much nukes in them for a few years after it happened.

They weren't shot down in the jet, they were just flying it. Flying a jet is not supposed to kill you.

I know anthrax isn't poisen, I just wasn't thinking (When I said anthrax is meant for killing, I meant the anthrax that people were sending around)

I don't know why you went into all the stuff about anthrax not being bombs...

I guess my post wasn't very clear x.x

THE TERRORISTS WANT US TO BE AFRAID

YOU ARE AFRAID IF YOU DON'T WANT TO SEE ANTRAX IN GRAAL

YOU ARE WHAT THE TERRORISTS WANT

SHAPE UP OR SHIP OUT

Neonight:

1.) Anthrax isn't as deadly as it's believed to be. The sickness you receive is a bad cold. That's it.

2.) I could care less what it is. It's sadistic. It's immature. It's horrible. I wouldn't be surprised if whoever put it up gets a real ass-kicking.

Point blank:

I don't give a **** what your nationality is. I don't give a **** if you're American, European, Ethiopian--I don't care. Anthrax is no more common or rare in any country than any other, with the exception of Russia. Russia has been handling anthrax for a very long time now. Anything is a weapon. If you inhale baking soda, it's going to clog up your lungs and give you a seizure. Trust me, I've had it happen from when I was little. (No I did not inhale it on purpose. ) Are you all saying if I send baking soda to people and they're so ****ing idiotic that they inhale it, I should get in trouble for this? Then would you all be *****ing about seeing baking soda on Graal2002? Gah.

OMGOSH ONE TIME I SAW THIS THING ON TV! AND THIS GUY KILLEDS A GUY WITH A SPON! AND LIKE I WAS PLAYINGF THS GAME! AND LIEK THERE WAS A SPOON! SO IM LIKE! *SUESUESUE BANHAMMER* TO THE COMPANY AND AL LTHAT!

Anthrax has been around for hundreds of years.

It's always been deadly, but only recently has it been made worse, and more toxic.

So, Anthrax could exist in a medieval setting.

Like in Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

Hehe, I think I signed up when I was 11 just before that thing went in effect. ...or actually 10, because my birthday was a few days after that... and I think I didn't sign up until I was 11... CRAP.
