Actually... how DO you pronounce Graal?

I've always said Graal like "Carl" but I have a feeling it should be like "grail". Anybody know for sure?

I pronounce it "grol", like "gr-all", cuz thats what it looked like to me when I first heard of it, then I learned more anout Graal and figured "graal" is also german for "grail". But I still say it like "gr-all"

*thanks God he's not alone*

I was just thinking, as I played Diablo 2, that if Baal can be said "Bail" then maybe so could Graal. I suppose the only one who can say for certain is Stefan.

Graal like "Carl" (or GRAWL as someone put it) sounds better and makes more sense.

Good, at least nobody so far says it should be said like "Grail". I was beginning to think that I was some kind of wierdo, whereas... uh... nevermind.

Baal from the Diablo storyline IS pronounced "Bail"
If you ever played the playstation version, they had this stiory section (d1 that is) and it read the story aloud. The dude said "bail" so i guess thats it

I agree with most of you

Back on Graal 1.38 i did a poll about this, and surprisingly, the majority of answers were the opposite /grail/. I do pronounce it /grawl/. Just look at the words aardvark. But then again, yes Baal is pronounced /bail/. I guess you can say it however you want, but the thing to remember is that it is indeed German (I'm German...but not quite as much as Stefan), in which it is pronounced /grawl/.

I say it like Fai, Valder and Thak2: GRAHL.

It probably is supposed to be said like Grail, but that's the way I've been saying it since I started.

Yeah, that's exactly what I'm saying. I have that version (level 60 character y0!) and Diablo 2, and it says the same thing on the latter. But, since he's gonna be the main star in the next in the series, I'm guessing we'll have even more people mispronouncing a popular game's name (DIEablo, anyone?).
