kia345 07-05-2008 10:17 PM

When did you start playing Graal?
Sometime in either late '03 or '04.

What was the first server you got "hooked" on?
Delteria

Who did you look up to when you first started?
I remember when I first played, the first server I connected to was Valikorlia. Not sure why, but meh. I was suprised when I found myself stuck in a tree, wall, or something. Not sure what. Someone named Athen or Apollo or something along those lines told me about "unstick me", and from there he was my first friend on Graal. Too bad I haven't seen him since back then.

EDIT: His name was Aris.

List a few goals you made when you were new to Graal (even if you haven't accomplished them yet)
Just have fun. I wanted to be some vaguely known, remotely popular guy, just having fun and doing my thing. idk if I made it there, but I've had fun.

What are some of your best memories on Graal?
That first day on Valikorlia, even if I can barely remember it. Or my days of exploring trial island on my first expedition on Graal Kingdoms. PK'ing on Delteria along with their hot players and abusive staff. Being a complete noob and going crazy over finding a Cloud or Link "head code" at the time. One of my fondest was probably when I became an ET on Delteria.

What are some of your worst memories on Graal?
Not sure really. I can't think of any hopelessly tragic moments.

Who were your friends when you first started?
Aside from Apollo/Athen/whatever, I've had some old friends who I still play with today, albeit they're not as active as they once were. Shroomy, who I possibly met during the whole "MHX" events on Delteria. Johnnay, who I have no idea where I found him. Aflack, Ketsomaru, and Syn, all old faces from Delt. Wolfey Xanadu, a real life friend who I introduced to Graal (much to the dismay of some people).

How did you find out about Graal?
I remember I used to steal magazines from the waiting room in a hospital my aunt worked at. One of them was an old "PC Gamer" or "PC Games" magazine with a Matrix cover. On several pages, all bright yellow, it listed 50-100 "free" PC games, ranging from Dwarf Fortress, to Neopets, to "Five Finger Fillet", to holy crap, Graalonline. It didn't actually give you the address "graalonline.com", but instead to the cyberjoueurs site where you played it in Java (lolgone). From there, well, here I am.

When did you start playing Graal?
March of either 2004 or 2005... I forget which one.

What was the first server you got "hooked" on?
As a trial: *Logged on* "Oh, cool" *See's Era* *Clicks Era*... nothing...
*clicks again*... nothing...
*Double Clicks Era* *Logs into Era*
*Get's hooked on learning it's ways :3*

Who did you look up to when you first started?
I was fairly self sufficient in learning on my own and looking after myself, but if I needed something, the only FAQ that would answer me (And didn't answer every question with "Yellow" *cough* Raeiphon *cough*) was Jen [Eclectic].

List a few goals you made when you were new to Graal (even if you haven't accomplished them yet)
Just to have fun, and it was, when I started :]

What are some of your best memories on Graal?
I was a trial for a pretty long time before I bothered buying a subscription, and since trials couldn't save, I used to use Era's digging/burrying system to bury my items and cash made up in the old parking lot next to Terisu's base, as well as being the Manager of a player biz when I was still only a trial, lol.

What are some of your worst memories on Graal?
I try to be positive, but I guess enough unappreciative and abusive players can ruin your Graal experience at any point in time, and you'll never feel the same way about it, again.

Who were your friends when you first started?
The guy who owned the player biz I got manager of. I forgot his name, but he bought a new account, short time after I paid for my account, and his was 'Big Noobie'. Also YenroY777 (YY), koreandrummerguy (ShadowX), Eclectic (Jen), Israfel_I (Israfel), Celarion (Cel), [just about all the actual Terisu's, really xD], Raeiphon (Malicious) and a few others that I forget the names and accounts of at that point in time :s [Sorry guys, not that many of them play, anymore]

How did you find out about Graal?
I've been using the Graal Editor since 2001, which I got off a friend who had it, but at that time, I didn't have an internet connection, so I just made Classic levels, here and there. I stopped using it, and one day I remembered the editor, and Googled it with my new internet connection, but the only way to get it was to download it through the "Install Packages" thing in-client, so while I was there, I noticed I needed to make an account, and did. Bam, played.

Crono 07-06-2008 10:01 AM

When did you start playing Graal?

2000

What was the first server you got "hooked" on?

Xone in 2001.

Who did you look up to when you first started?

I looked up to Elrond/Elveroth/later known as Aeglos in 2001.

List a few goals you made when you were new to Graal (even if you haven't accomplished them yet)

-Becoming one of the top LATs on Graal.
-Getting an RC.
-Being LAT Admin on a server.

What are some of your best memories on Graal?

Generally anything from 2001-2002 was really fun. Xone is given, as its my fav server of alltime.

I remember being in a guild called Neurotic on Mithica, we would block off the main bridge and PK the entire server for fun.

With no staff experience I immediately became asst ET Chief on Enigma because I was friends with t3ck. Binary didn't like t3ck so he fired him and promoted me within a day or two. This was back in 2001 hehe, I continued to be (a bad) ET Chief there until sometime in 2002.

I was part of a 'real' Graal family on Delteria, my "son" was Admin and had made a mountain town there. He let me upload my house which contained some pk pie/beer/pizza. This was harmless at first as not many people knew about it, but within the month entire guilds were raiding my house trying to claim the stuff. At one point MHX (formally known as Hunters) was seriously guarding my house and blocking off my kitchen. They let me and my graal wife (LOL YES I HAD ONE) through but not anyone else. I didn't like it so I called The Birth Defects (these guys are still around) and they ****ing cleared my house out in a matter of minutes. There was another time where I randomly logged on, went into my house, and saw 2 guilds having a guild war inside my house. They were running around the pool, living room, etc. It was hilarious at the time.

What are some of your worst memories on Graal?

Elrond/Elveroth/Aeglos quiting.

Xone going down. Delteria/Val on life support.

Graal going full P2P.

Watching Zodiac go classic despite it's piss poor quality in every aspect of development.

Who were your friends when you first started?

I had none. I didn't have friends until about one year later. It was only people from Xone, like the already mentioned Elvy (was my nickname for him), Todo, Teepo, Jetsuki, Hurumi, Sean, Boco (known as Knux now) etc.

How did you find out about Graal?

Was browsing through a flash site (we used to do this in middleschool, a lot) tryin to play some games in the computer lab and I saw one with the description going something along the lines of "Zelda - like RPG game, play with friends!". I went home and tried it, then downloaded the actual client.
