Release flying tech

Seriously, don't lose sleep over it. Everyone who still keeps begging for Flying Technology is going to be very disappointed. You'd be better off seeing if v6's new zoom functionality will be able to do something at least remotely similar.

I've been on these forums a bit now and I still can't tell if this flying technology is just a community joke or real.

It was real, and the way it was presented gave the impression that it was coded into the game and was a way of scaling the play area.

What it really was however was pretty much a scripted sort of google maps. You simply uploaded a ton of images onto the server of various zoom levels of the map(you had to create them manually) and the scripted(again, not a coded portion of the game) would load the various images as they were needed. This meant that as you zoomed in and out you would have to wait for the images to load before you saw anything. It was all preloaded, meaning if changes were made you'd have to go through and update the images. It couldn't render players or objects or anything like that in any way that could be interacted with.

I was kidding more than anything, Dusty.

I just wanted to drop by and state, with me only going to two classes so far, that UMBC will be taking up most of my time and I may not have any to update the status on this. As long as the gralats are in the farm, and the farm IS locked, the contest will continue and end on the 18th of December. Good luck to those who enter.

[Devil_Lord2]

Lol someone gave me bad rep saying "h8 you". I appreciate that, thank you for thinking of me while I was gone. ;]

In the mean time, and time has been mean, have you all been 'Winning' the art contest due in less than two months? No? Good luck!

And someone gave me another bad rep for the same reason. Thank you both. ;]

Ill+ Rep when i can

[Devil_Lord2]

Its fine Papajchris, I don't worry about rep. I only find it ironic that people would use it to show that they hate me, but will not say it to my face. Not that I would care if they hate me either... I just thought I should show sarcasm lol

By the way Emera, sorry I did not reply on here, I believe I did via mail but in hindsight it looks bad on here... I don't like to ignore anyone. Thank you, I'm not quite 'back' nor have I left. I just haven't had any time for Graal is all.

=-=-=-=-= Graal Art Contest =-=-=-=-=

For an update, the lanes are still the same, they are also still there.
There have been only 6 pictures uploaded for 7 lanes of prizes; as well as some that uploaded without following the rules or even sending it to the email.

I should have took it into account for the deadline, most of the applications are from kids and even college students tend to procrastinate until the last minute. The event use to be big on facebook, and kind of died down a lot. I believe it will go back up towards the deadline but it isn't like I can reinvite everyone lol... Good luck for those who attend!

Just to check out the ones up right now, go to:

strange that.

It's been dying little by little every year.

Example: It's pretty much dead now. Yes, there is a playerbase.. but compare it to that of 6+ years ago.

Just was bored and doing some browsing on the web and came back across the forums.. figured I'd throw that in. Probably won't even remember to come back to see if anyone replied.

I don't disagree with you that the playerbase has dropped in numbers compared to 5, 10 years ago, that much is obvious, but if anything the player count has actually seen a slight rise in more recent times due to the influx of iPhone refugees among other smaller possibilities. I think the feeling among players is more one of stagnation with the lack of advances than one of Graal being dead.

(I will now stop replying in this thread, thanks for all the support)

Sad to say also, I am quitting iClassic as well.
I have not been on in a few months, and it seems that since Santa bombs were introduced.. that was not good.. however regular bombs were mutilated as well... even the baddies which became super baddies are now super-super-baddies. The last part doesn't matter now since there is no reason to kill them anymore.

I will be playing iEra now (casually and eventually).

Farewell David, Hope you have fun when you disembark on you're adventure across the globe!

You won 4.4k Gralats for making a screenshot and bumping "MY TOWER" above it? Damn I should have taken part at the contest.
