Graal.. And it' addiction

TheJames · #1 12-20-2005, 01:33 AM

I don't know if this has been posted and/or talked about before. But I'm curious. Why is Graal so addicting? I know I'm addicted and tried quitting 2-3 times and failed each. Longest I've ever got was 1 month

.So I'd like to hear your guys' point of view on just why Graal is so addicting.

My main reason is because Graal is based off social aspects, and I love games like that. Also the various options in playerworlds. Graal is the kind of game I've always looked for. Allowed to make your player do whatever they want on game, and almost hardly restricted. This is one main reason I'm addicted. Not to mention I enjoy working on servers haha.

I know some of you have already quit and have beat the hidden power. Fill us in on how haha. Not that I wan't to quit. Just when I'm ready to quit.

But I know you Graal people like to argue alot, but please be mature about this post lol, and just let us know why you feel Graal is addicting and why you're addicted?

because the things you do (for example: era, to make money, get gunz, businesses) for Graal2001 (to get hats, money, dolls, items, better bamboo sticks, money, money, sword)

i guess maybe becuase people are really social? small community, everyone knows everyone.. its nice, fun thing to goto after school or work

The only reason I'm always on is because I'm afraid to miss out on a good deal on GK.

Only with cigarettes, atleast they have that smooth menthol taste. When's the last time you fired up a Graal? They should start selling Graal brand cigarettes in the Graal store. VIP cartons: $19.95 Gold: 29.95

Back on topic: Graal isn't addictive but its people are. I only stick around for the cool people (#gscript for example).

It's a DISEASE. Don't you get it? I have a DISEASE. :P

It's all about the social aspect of it. It gives you quick access to tons of random people that you may or may not already know. I stuck around for a bit only to talk to some people, and then I stopped playing and strictly coded, so it was still social and talking to people but didn't have to actually be on player and could work :P

It's easily manipulated to a degree... You can sneak your way in and tug on the strings ever so slightly in hopes that it will persuade things to go your way... Or you could shell out a C note and have power poofed into you hands.

All MMO's which allow you to advance in the community are addictive.

Graal is actually much less addictive than most other games, however the fact that you can put it down for a few months and pick right back up where you started with no real loss gives it long term playability.

No one will outlevel you/outprofit you, ect.

I never played this game in a very long time. I'm a smoker, and Graal is more addicting then that. Sorry.

Graal and it's predecessors have been around for nearly 8 years, I've been hanging on to it for almost as long. Why? I think I know, but only time will tell.
