Mhm.. My history.

I got Graal when a friend told me about this great online game that was free. So, I signed up and began playing Enigma Graal. We got a few of our other friends to join up and play with us. Our other friends quit and we continued playing, eventually joining Holy Crusader. Eventually, we noticed that was a level editor for graal and that you could submit playerhouses to most servers. We became fascinated with levels, taking hours making the simplest house or figuring out how to make a door open and close with a script.

Then there was a drastic turnpoint. Something bad had happened in my friend's family, causing him to quit Graal for good. I continued alone eventually meeting people like Warcaptain, BinaryCrash and Consolamentum. By that time, I had realized that there were other servers that you could F2P on, mainly which were Classic and Unholy Nation. On Classic, I used to hang out at the guild tower thing almost all the time I was on, so one day a guild (Can't recall the name) asked me to join... My first global guild!

There is a foggy spot in between that, but I seem to remember bugging random people to let me join their guilds.

Then P2P came out. My dad agreed to pay for my account. I played Graal 2001 and Graal Kingdoms A LOT. Eventually my subscription ran out. I went to Babylon and became Events Team, my first staff job. I got fired because the players had been spreading bs about me.

There is another foggy spot here. Next part I can remember, I was extremely interested in sparring and level-making. For a length of time that is all I did. Soon I had joined Baddies. I was kicked from Baddies for inactivity about a month later, but then became LAT on Maloria. I also continued to practice sparring and joined SNC (which, again I was kicked for inactivity.)

My LAT skills and my sparring skills increased daily after I came back from a month playing Diablo, and soon, I had an offer I couldn't refuse. I had been asked to work on Babylon, along side Gerami, Inferno and a few others (around 2 months ago). Because of the Malinko incident, I was fired along with pretty much everyone else. Now today, I work hard to restore Maloria and also spar a lot.

Yeah, sorta long, but oh well.

I can't remember when I first registred my P2P, or even my trial, is there a way to know this?

I just walked in my friend house, and see him playing that dumb 2d game.
I went home and installed it.

I don't remember how i got here...

James 09-24-2006 12:58 AM

Initially I don't quite remember how I found it, although I do remember playing classic in late 1998 when Graal WAS just classic.

From then on, once they actually had different servers, I found Elven Lands, it was like the coolest thing back then. After about 2 months of playing on Elven Lands I became the manager of it (pretty blurry, don't remember much of what I did with it.)

I took a 1-2 year hiatus and my friends Fai and Cali introduced me to Graal2001 when I bought my first p2p account (activeconvict). After that, I started to get really into developing (levels, graphics) and was offered a NW position but declined.

Then maybe 2-3 months later I became the Accounts Administrator (ran that for about 3-4 months, and unixmad decided that they weren't needed anymore and 2 weeks later he has NightLord do the job, figures.) I was also the manager of Graal2001 for about 2 months and Tseng decided one day just to remove all my access because I hadn't been online when he was. Yeah, he took that server really ****ing far, for sure. ;P

Maybe a year or so passed and I became the Asst. Police Chief of Graal2001, lead level maker of Kingdoms (Graal2002) (way back in the early days when the system was a lot cooler.) Worked on Kingdoms with a lot of cool people Er1c, Jagen, Satan, etc. Finally I had to stop my work fully for college.

Came back about 1 year later and got my job back with Kingdoms (it went under a huge change in that year I was gone, I didn't even really recognize it.)

The last real thing I held was Events Admin on Kingdoms which I'm controversially hated on their for being corrupt which I will admit I did some things but the things I was accused of are all false, people just decided to conspire against me.

That's my story, and I don't play Graal anymore. ;o

Yeah, uhh.. I thought you quit?

Didn't you also tell me that you hid npcs throughout Maloria (flag changers) so you can still sell items for USD or cross-server trade?

Just recalling some of my aim messages with you.. I would see why you were fired ;)

MysticalDragon 09-25-2006 05:16 PM

heh lets see
I started GraalOnline when it was version 1.28 back in late 99 I bileve.My first job was a NAT position on this playerworld called Auroria.But at that time I was a Active playerworld on Bravo Online the most popular playerworld at the time.Later on I quit Auroria to focus on getting a Staff Position on Bravo Online.But then later on the Owners quit bravo and a whole bunch of rucus started amongs the staff and curroptness for the ownership position.Later on Aeryn recieved ownership when it should of been ThndShk2k.Aeryn became inactive then Brandon spoke to stefan and got ownership.Bravo made a huge downfall after that, not because of brandon but because of the curroptness and hacking.So Brandon and Symbonia turned Bravo into a gold server called Andor.It was a great playerworld with just not enough to keep players entertained.Finally after player bravo/andor for 3 years I got a job as GP under FateKnight. Brandon,Pikaz,Thak,Boco,Brent worked there at the time.While I was working there Cybnext offered my a job on Frolic where I met one of my VERY best friends from this day known as Slash(bigkow44).
Later Bravo removed the GPs RCs and only kept the captains.I didn't have gold at that time so I had to depart from bravo.Then I was staff on 2 playerworlds after that Lat on Providence which was managed by Lyndzey and Shadowknight and Still NAT on frolic.Later on Providence (Where I met Jagen,Mido,Jeff and Scott aswell)was takeing back over by Kamuii and he removed all the new RCs.So then I started to work on UN and became Game Master (Below Asst. Manager).Yakuna Illegal took over the playerworld by tricking the other GM into giving him lvl 4 RC and he lied and said DarkWarlock gave him the server which was misurebly a lie.So Yakuna and I got into a arguement and I was fired.I Then left there and joined Mmmmkay and became a Manager of Faheria along with still be staff on Frolic.Two of the best Playerworlds at that time!Later on I got Uberly drunk and High and started to act curropt and abusive on Faheria and Shadowless got me fired.That started the war between shadowless and I , but he was on the right.After that I became Guild Admin on Andor giving me Andor_GP15.Then I became REALLY inactive on Frolic so was removed.I went from GUild Admin to Admin on Andor.Later on I convinced Brandon to let me revive bravo online and became apart of the bravonline management.We Attempted SEVERAL Bravo Onlines.We started with trying a Modern COMPLETE rip off of Era,Didn't work.Then I Hired back some old bravo staffs that where interested such as Boco,Thak,Shadowless,Pikaz,Brent,LordMatt and a few others and we started a World known as Bravo Gold.This world was amazing and it had Bravo Classic in it aswell.Later on I became uberly inactive due to haveing a BEUTIFUL baby girl.I came back and bravo wasn't the same anymore so Sern,Me,Dark,GlubGlub,Malinko started the Second Revisision of a good world known to the players as Bravo Evolved.We used Evolved because of the Evolution bravo took upon.Darkon,Glub,Malinko and Sern Did most of the work in this world.I then got in a arguement with Sern threatning to Shut the server down and couldnt log on after that.Sern Saved the server by removeing me.Later on Stefan,Spark and Lyndzey handed Bravo Evolved to me and We went classic.Due to not haveing enough to entertain the players our player count dropped rapidly and later on died out and got removed from the classic list.I then became really inactive and joined the Unholynation Team again as NAT later on makeing my way upto NPC Admin.Due to Bravo beeing SO inactive Bravo got removed from the private list aswell.Few weeks Later I got Incarserated for unlisted reasons for aproximitley 18 months.Then due to my inactiveness when i returned I was no longer UNs NPC Admin, so I started searching else where.Then I spoke to one of my GOOD friends *Malinko and he found me a Job on Shangri-La as Developer.Then I became Asst . Manager and 2 Days after Manager.
Current Position:Shangri-La Manager

Note:Somewhere around the Frolic Time I was also a NAT on ShadedLegends in ArchAngels era.

I'll make mine a little less long winded.

-Played ZO very briefly.
-Went back to the game after it had become Graal and started playing on Classic probably a few months after it had been renamed.
-When Dino Valley opened, I tried it out and really liked it, so I worked up about 500 hours there including a stint as an Events Master.
-Checked out Doomsday the day it opened and got hooked.
-After the release of the new overworld I started to get interested in tiling and began testing out my skills.
-Got a job as an LAT on Doomsday and honed my skills and eventually became the Asst. LAT chief, then the chief, and eventually an Admin.
-Spent about a year as the Co-Manager until leaving for college, when I regretfully retired from the game for quite a while. Doomsday fell shortly thereafter (most likely not related to my leaving).
-During this time I also played a bit on 2k1, but only mustered about 200 hours or so on it.
-About a year and a half later I picked up a graal client, checked out Kingdoms, got readdicted and bought a gold account. I played there for the next year or so where I got involved with the Kingdoms, spent some time as an Events Master, and eventually became overwhelmed with work and have wheened off and not been playing much.
-As of now, my main connection to graal is through these forums.

That wasn't very short winded. Damnit.

Wasn't Ningnong GST for like a month, then got fired? o_O

Magadal 09-26-2006 08:06 PM

Uh. My story how I found out about Graal is weird as hell >_> Well. I built some stuff with RPG Maker 2000 first. And sometimes I just wanted to play some online RPGs. I saw an article about Graal in the "Screenfun" (german gamer magazin) and thought "huh looks cool lets try yo!!!11". And..uh...well...I liked it xD Started 2003 on Atlantis. It was cool at this time. Its not anymore though.

I'll remind you, Nothing.

You basically got the server from me somehow after HEYhost got removed, and then gave it back to him when you got "bored".

Not everyone forgets :(

Yen 09-27-2006 02:07 PM

Omi.
Some guy named Brickroad told me to start playing Graal with him in, like.. '97? '98?
I quit after a while, because my computer sucked.
When I got a new computer in '99 and came back, mainly playing Valikorlia.
In 2000, I began scripting at Valikorlia.. You know, the days before we had NPC Servers?
After Valikorlia, I went and started scripting on Providence, where Jagen taught me to use an NPC Server.
After Providence, I went to script for the new Valikorlia (the one with the NPC Server) with Mido.
After that, I worked on a lot of servers. A LOT.
Now here I am, managing Zodiac. :O

Well Graal was cool because it was new to me. Atlantis was cool to everyone who played it at this time.

I went by Cid at that point. Early early on I used the name Edge. I'm not very original at making up nicks. Did you play DD?
