2004, found GraalOnline on a MMO site. Played off and on without anything major happening until 2006 when I bought a VIP/Gold account for the lifetime Classic.

2006, made my guild, Zolderon. Started playing mostly Classic and Zone.

2007, Globally banned for life for only God knows what. Started to go by Spooon for the first time on Zone.

2008, made a new account. Started working as a Developer (mostly leveling) on Classic, and fired for abusing Dev Bombs a few months later. Worked on Divine Darkness with Jimbo33, Mog, and a few other people.

2009, Bell unbanned by main account. Bless her heart. Divine Darkness closed. Rehired on Classic as Developer.

Currently working on Classic and trying to avoid lag. *thumbs up*

2003 - I was turning 8, and was tired of the extreme lag of my PC from Runescape, so google'd 'Small MMORPG's', and I found Super Mario Sunshine (lol) and Graal. I started to play UN, and spent many days collecting head codes and body codes. Got bored with restarting, stopped playing.

2005 - I made an account and started playing Zone. I went by obilivion819 and was terrible. I loved resetting, never had to worry about bad stats. I was 10.

2006 - I made my first Gold/VIP account and got lifetime classic. I was a fairly good zone player... Not really though. Still played like a little kid. Turning 11 at the time.

2007 - Still played Zone. Still loved it, started playing more and becoming more and more of a *****. Competitiveness drove me to play games like Halo 3.

2008-2009 Halo 3 fanatic. 5 50's, 3 in doubles, 1 team slayer, 1 lone wolves. Got tired of being scammed by microsoft and sold my xbox's.

2010 - Made this guy. Started to play, played alot for a little bit, then I met a girl named Kate, and we are dating now. I moved into her house at the end of the summer, and now I'm happily saying I play no games. Life is sweet. I'm 15 now too. Feels good man.

Late 2000 - 2001: ultimate fan of zelda, googled zelda online, and found out about Graal.

2001-2002: Played as a trial on GK untill I first upgrade my account

2002-2005: Bought lifetime classic, and often upgrading to play between GK/Zone/UN/Maloria and a bit of Era.

2006: Maloria till it disappeared.

2007: I rent my first playerworld, called Silent, with no real objectives or gameplay, just fun and got extremely curious about development processes.

2008: Silent is back, but renamed as Silence, aiming for a little RPG.

2009: Back to GK, but thinking about a new project. Mid 2009 I rent my playerworld again and call it Azure Skies, a project of mine and Jamie, with wicked features planned.
It failed, so I went back to GK for a while, but joined the GDT.

Early 2010: Became GDT Manager, which obviously turned out to be more difficult for me to hold as a position due to many things in life.

Mid-2010: RUINS. The ultimate project I'm never going to let down.

Today: Still heavily working on Ruins, GDT Pixel Artist and computer sciences student in real life. Graal turned to be an helpful "tool" to choose my way IRL, as I realized how much I loved to develop, and the bright future behind such career planned in development.

Note: Late 2006-2010: Worked for countless playerworlds/servers

That's about it.

Early 2004: I was introduced to Graal by two friends at school who both played Graal Kingdoms. I played Graal Kingdoms as a trial for a few weeks just exploring start island. At the time we only had one PC in the house so I had to share with my brother. I would've been 13 at the time.

December 2004: I got my own PC for Christmas and this is when we bought our first Gold Accounts. My account name was FabledRanger (or something to that effect) and my brother was cyan3. We played Graal Kingdoms with my two friends from high school but I quit after about 6 months.

2005: I wanted to get back into Graal again but I forgot my exact username, my password and the email address I used to register my Graal account with so I started getting back into Graal Kingdoms using my brothers account which is when I joined CP under the name Felix Lionheart.

Late 2005: I decided to buy myself another account so I could play together with my brother. We both upgraded to a VIP account + lifetime classic because there was some special Christmas offer which included the ice shield, ice sword and ice wand on Graal Kingdoms. I joined CP using the name Fayt Lionheart and my brother kept the name Felix Lionheart which I used whilest playing on his account.

2006: Still playing Graal Kingdoms. I started to get into Development and worked as a Developer for various servers. But most memorably I worked on Aeon as LAT.

2006-2007: Me and my brother rented a player word. We originally called it Exile, which was later renamed to Sárune. Nothing really came out of it but I used it as a good experience to further my development skills. Due to the lack of staff I had to expand my own knowledge which is when I learned how to gani and I became a decent pixel artist. Started offering out my services as a free-lance developer helping various under construction service and I joined #glevels.

2007: I was hired as Events Master on Graal Kingdoms by Sam. I served as an Event Master until late 2008 when Sam retired from the Role of Events Master Admin. I was given access to Kingdoms Debug as a developer for Crescent Pirates.

2008: Was Hired as FAQ on Graal Kingdoms by Girihan but soon switched back to Events Master working under Maroku which I done for about 6 months.

2009: Became Governor of Crescent Pirates. I stuck at the role for just over a year before retiring. I was recruited as an FAQ on GK again which is a job I am still doing today.

2010-present: Still playing GK and I am currently FAQ and Events Master on the server and still a developer for Crescent Pirates.
