Some of the best moments from way back in Graals history (in no particular order)...
1) Xena... the man!
This was a stunner. Many of you might remember one great player, namely Killermech. Now back in the day, Killermech had a girlfriend (Or somthing) called Xena. This continued until about early 200, when it was exposed that Xena was really a he. Who was the he? Well Contego of course.
2) Supernick.. the mentalist!
A long time ago there was a GP called Supernick. When the Graal uppers decided to change a few key rules, Supernick went schizo as he felt some of the rules negatively affected gameplay, and ended up giving some 100 accounts or so full stats, hearts, sword, shield etc......
3) Northern Limits... the demolished!
I remember when they got rid of Northern limits, that instead of just removing it and putting up a new building, they put tractors and digger's n stuff there, and slowly built up a new building. What was event better, when they initially removed it, the did it with a massive demolition style explosion.
4) Joe... the GP!
This caused massive controversy at the time. Joe was one of Graals most notorious hackers, having done loads of hacks over time. Someone in management decided that Joe's knowledge of hacking could make him a very good GP, and so he was hired. While in retrospect, this may have seemed a good idea, the backlash from players was huge. There were protests, death threat messages, everything, and most of this was down to good honest players feeling that they had been cheated out of possibly gaining staff places.
5) Version 1.33... the hacked!
Don't really know why, but with this release the first mass use trainers started appearing. As a relatively new concept (For Graal at least), most players didn't realise that using one would get them banned. The results? At its peak, up to 2 in every 3 players had a trainer turned on at any give time. |
