I think to me Graal is more of a past time, I dont know how you'd look at it though.

I have a great life out of the house, I hang out with friends and go to my local city to skate every weekend.

Fun stuff.

I thought I could quit Graal a few years back...
And here I am. Graal is the ultimate paradox. It's the best and worst thing in the world all at the same time. There are many affects on a player once a Graal addiction settles in:

Slight loss of interest in pretty much all other games. They're just not as interesting once you've played something that you enjoy that much more.

The feeling that the sense of joy comes from the sight of a small colorful stone and/or obtaining a new hat. For some reason I enjoy getting hats in any other game very much now also, especially in Animal Crossing.

Lack of interest in real-life social activity. Once you become dependant upon Graal as your main source of social interaction, getting back into a real social life is near impossible. On Graal you can say what you want to people, and you never have to look them in the eyes or fear the consequences.

You'll want argue with just about anyone on the subject of just about anything for no particular reason in general. You'll also find that it's much easier to do this on Graal than in real life- therefore, once you get used to acting this particular way it may become hard for you to stray away from Graal for large sums of time.


Who else has literally had what would seem like withdrawals at one point? I remember the first time I was away from Graal for a long period of time--I couldn't get my mind off of it. I was itching to play Graal and I knew that I needed it to satisfy myself. That's just something that is hard to grow out of.

It's addicting because of friends, and you can make stuff and show it to your friends.

I kept the friends and make stuff in other things, so I am not addicted.

[protagonist]

It's not very addicting, it's just a habit.

some ppl play out of boradom thats why i started but then i got good and still things to learn about so i may stay for a long ass time or untill the server dies

[Moondeath_2]

Honestly in my opinion if someone actually wanted to quit graal they could in a heart beat some choose not to because they are somewhat lifeless and have nothing else to do and yes I do include my self into that.

Hahaha.... Thats really all there is to do on Era too, its a shallow boring server, I don't see how you can find that enjoyable. Its a game, you shouldn't have to use your damn imagination.

Use your imagination and its really enjoyable.

In all honesty, Graal is just a desktop game to me. You know, when you're logged onto msn or aim and you have nothing better to do so you boot up graal.

Makes sense. Am I right?

[MegaMasterX90875]

I play Graal (more specifically Era) because it's a way to learn how to communicate better. I play Era a lot because I'm constantly trying to improve myself. I'm also trying to save up for a server, which adds a level of ceativity. XD Graal pwnz.

That's ridiculous, and you think Graal is going to give you a full time job when you hit 20? Good luck.

If you believe in that philosophy you better start grovelling to Stephane.

So go buy your next plane ticket to Paris now.

Social Withdrawals? No. Withdrawals from other games? No. Interesting game to get started into? Yes, how I got into it.

Fact is, my social life is fine I hang out alot with friends and I skate whenever with them.

I found graal to be interesting because of the design. Small round characters running about frantically. That's what I wanted to see. I had always thought about an intense game like that, obsessively hitting each other with a pixelated sword.

Rock on Stephane.
