April

April 22nd - Classic Action System Revised

The only visible improvement is push detection, but anything related to jumping, pushing, pulling, lifting, and throwing is being implemented much differently than it was before. The action system is now integrated into the primary movement NPC. This was the most recent barrier to the completion of the quest in the Graal City Castle dungeon, and the last major barrier.

Other, smaller barriers include the completion of a few baddies, rescripting the chest system, and a few class fixes. I'd expect it to be up in the next week or so, but it could take 3 weeks as I have finals approaching and a big CS project due.

Also, the 2nd of May is approaching, and that's when the players with #1 ranks in sparring and pking will be awarded a prerelease of the Hover Boots, a week before their public release in Destiny Boot Shop. Silvercrank is currently the #1 PKer and Bloodfeud is currently the #1 Sparrer.

April 22nd - Zone Guild Wars Improvements

Several glitches have been fixed, the classes were more balanced and you can now throw pipe bombs, taze bombs and gas grenades through doors, so that you can easier kill people hiding in tents.

April 17th - Zone Guild Wars Map

A new map has been released on Zone. It is replacing the Zone Wars map and is made for team fight - it ends once a team lost all members or the time runs out.

Features:
- New weapons: lava gun for placing hot lava on the ground, blaster for throwing enemies through the air, dart gun poisoning enemies, grenade launcher for throwing grenades which explode after a few seconds
- 5 classes which have totally different abilities and goals - e.g. the light powers give you strong plasma sabres, while the engineer class lets you drive Mechs
- a map with two bases, turrets and a river in the middle
- a lava cave which use new graphics and particle effects and let you only use melee weapons

We have also added a few other improvements, like displaying explosions on the radar and a new bunny head outfit.

April 15th - Graal Kingdoms Easter

All the weekend players were digging for eggs and rabbits. The eggs don't just jump into the inventory anymore though, you need a net from Zehn Village to catch them and trade them in for special easter items, which included a new cloak, shield and bow.

April 15th - Easter Egg Hunt Returns to Classic

Easter in 2005 was dominated by Stryker, the GP Admin. He collected an astonishing 3009 Easter Eggs, blowing away the competition. Easter is coming around again. How many do you think you could collect?

In addition there may be a possibility of seeing rabid rabbits hopping around hoarding Easter eggs. Want to be the champion of Egg Hunts? Come to Classic: Easter 2006.

April 13th - Expanse of Classic

It's been about a week since the overworld was finally expanded for a full mainland, and we're hard at work filling in the space. Since August, the overworld of Classic has expanded more than tenfold, along with the acceptance of player houses to the overworld for the first time in years.

The Destiny Boot Shop is now reopened. They currently have a selection of Opposite Boots, Gravity Boots, and Splash Boots. May 9th is the date set for the sale of the new Hover Boots. However, the top ranks in Spar and PK for the month of April will be able to receive a free pair on May 2nd.

Top PKer on Classic for April thus far: Silvercrank with 6045 points

Top Sparrer on Classic for April thus far: 02illusionco with 196 points (Get sparring people!)

April 11th - Era's Updates!

First, we've released the gangs. There's currently 5 gangs on Era. We've got Blazian Bandits, Black Holst, Los Carteles, Morano Family and Terisu Family. You can join a gang by talking to a recruiter of a gang. Every so often we'll be hosting gang wars. Each gang that participates will get a chance to win something big for their gang. This could be a gang weapon to a gang update. We've also released alot more weapons. This includes the gang guns (Sg552, Blazian's M4, Terisu's Katana (Temporary), Morano's Machine Gun. (We're currently waiting for Black Holst's weapon)

The new 'voting' system is now in effect, instead of chatting, you now get the chance to 'rig' the current vote. Hey, just like a real democracy.

Since easter is approaching soon, we've decided to go with something new on Era. We've turned the easter egg's into chocolate that can revive players and also heal them. We've also made the beach an explosion zone. You can dig up Nitro's and P4's from the beach, be warned as they could explode!

We've changed the current 'Start location' around. You'll notice that the mission house has been re-placed. Have fun finding it! (It's not too far from the origional place, hehe) We've also updated the player killing system. You can't recieve damage if you're in a no-pk zone. You can't deal damage if you're in a no-pk zone either. (No more laming at unstick me!) You can't be pushed from that area too!

We've also released a new 'guild chat' system for in-game purposeses. It's now alot easier to contact members of your guild through the new system.

-Hello everyone, as of late, many people have been attacking me on the issues and matters, trying to lie about things, bend the truth, and downright spin to make me and others of my cause look bad, in this text document i will discuss and lay to rest the issues that matter.
+Other, smaller barriers include the completion of a few baddies, rescripting the chest system, and a few class fixes. I'd expect it to be up in the next week or so, but it could take 3 weeks as I have finals approaching and a big CS project due.
-I have been involved [[Graal]] for over three years now, and i used to really like [[Graal]] and its admins alot, then slowly after about a year [[Graal]] and its admins went in a bad downward spiral, i still stuck with [[Graal]] in hopes [[Graal]] would pull itself out of this hole and [[Unixmad]] would go back to the right path, this however did not happen, instead [[Unixmad]] and even [[Stefan]] went fouler and lower than i could have imageined, First with fireing [[Pachuka]] and [[Fuitad]], two of the BEST [[Graal]] admins ever in my view for no other reason than disagreeing with his future plans, then if just fireing them was not bad enough, he threatend to sue them and kill they're families, this was so wrong and bad [[Fuitad]] even said he would punch [[Unixmad]] in the face for saying that if he met him in real life, but that was just the beginning of the downward spiral [[Unixmad]] foolishly invoked onto [[Graal]], he then blatantly STOLE a domain name [[Graal]].net from Owl Shimy which costed over 30$ US Dollars, and never gave it back to him and never paid him for the cost of the domain, he also threatend to sue Owl Shimy and kill his family although it was [[Unixmad]] which stole the domain from Owl Shimy, then around [[Graal]]1.3.1 he blocked off [[GServer]]s officially and threatend to sue anyone that ran the former [[GServer]]s, although they were released as "Freeware" and actually used to encourage people to use the [[GServer]]s, this was a blatant attempt to monopolise , threaten, and intemidate that players that actually helped [[Graal]] and supported him, he then made claims he copyrighted "[[Graal]]" and would contact so called "Lawres" about anyone that used the name "[[Graal]]" or had "[[Graal]] Files" on there websites, although [[Graal]] was distributed as "Freeware" or "Shareware" and had no official software copyrights related to it, and that the name "[[Graal]]" was actually the name of a holy sacred golden cup used in some religion, and in that he has commited blasphemy against whatever religion has the so called "Holy [[Graal]]", then later on [[Unixmad]] fired SuperNick, because of his country and his origion and called him an American Asian slut, this was the first sign of racism on the part of [[Unixmad]], towards [[Graal]]1.4.1 [[Unixmad]] was secretly unwrapping his sadistic plans, he then started claiming credit and claiming to own the copyrights to [[Graal]], although [[Unixmad]] has done nothing but host some stupid weak as servers, and yet [[Stefan]] Knorr has done all the real work for [[Graal]], and was the one to make ZeldaOnline , [[Graal]]Online in the first place and has written every bit of codeing for the [[Graal]] Client , [[GServer]], RC, ect, yet [[Unixmad]] the worthless pile of trash that he is steals all credit for [[Graal]], then in February 2001, [[Unixmad]] and Antago release [[Graal]]2001 and the start of the "Pay to Play" system, now i have no problem with the fact that it is pay to play, the issue is when you PAY for something you actually expect to get the worth while of your money in this product, but instead they got a shittily made level generated land that was 99% empty, the NPCs were and are laggy as hell, and there were no quests, and there is only two shitty things today for hearts that suck so much i refuse to even call them quests, and to add to that about 40% of everyone that paid and gave [[Unixmad]] there credit card number NEVER got the accounts they paid 27$ or more for, and those that did clearly got chumped out by a cheap peice of crap that aint worth paying for, it sucked so badly that most people played on [[Graal]] Classic still, even those that foolishly paid for pay to play accounts, and in an attempt to "FORCE" people to pay for a shitty product they do not want against they're will [[Unixmad]] hired "Tyhm" to deface and ruin [[Graal]]Classic in an attempt to make it buggier and less fun than even [[Graal]]2001, about this time i was disgusted with [[Unixmad]] and most of the other admins and decided to downright turn against [[Graal]] and for the most part stop playing the peice of crap in general. People starting getting angry, complaining, asking for help, and asking for refunds, of coarse [[Unixmad]] gave noone a cash refund, and simply deleted and banned "PAID ACCOUNTS" of those who complained, asked for help, or asked for a refund these are PAYING CUSTOMERS, they have the rights of basic service that they PAID for, [[Unixmad]] promises pay to play players a quality product and customer service, but instead gives them a grade F product and ripps off his customers and delete they're accounts that they PAID HIM money for, his excuse? Credit card fraud, when infact at least 90% of the people he bans for credit card fraud pay legitamately with there OWN credit cards or pay via paypal by check, and yet [[Unixmad]] has stolen and used others credit card numbers to buy things for himself on several occassions, he also claims he needs pay to play money to keep [[Graal]] alive and running, yet there has been evidence that he makes at least 90% profit out of the monies he gets, and that he uses illegal porn ad banners and illegal cookie style web tracking and giveing email adresses of the players and even phone numbers of every player to spam and telemarketting companies without there permission, he even keeps personal player info, includeing email, adress, and phone number on unsecure servers which have already been leaked out, such info about people should not be on a public webserver accessable to the internet in anyway, then after all that [[Unixmad]] starts banning african american people, asians, koreans, and or people with images of people of that race from the [[Graal]]2001 forums and [[Graal]] itself, yet again they are paying customers and this is another sickening act of racism on the part of [[Unixmad]] and [[Graal]]Online, and then even more disgusting is what [[Stefan]] posts on the [[Graal]]2001 forums, he makes several anti american, racist, pro terrorist, pro nazi, and pro taliban comments on that post and goes on and on several pages bashing americans, this post was offense, obcene, and disgusting to many people includeing myself . If all that does not make you sick to your stomache or dislike [[Unixmad]] yet, i am far from done, then [[Unixmad]] proceeds to illegally DDOS webservers of mafukie and make threats to him over the phone, and has phone assaulted me over 40 times a day between midnight and 5am, and has made threats to sue dozens of people, kill there families, and shut down innocent websites and servers, while hosting illegal stuff and doing illegal things himself with the use of his own wanadoo.fr servers, stuff which includes child porn, bestiality porn, DVD Piracy, DDOS Attacks, theft of copyrighted materials from gameing companies such as nintendo, Credit Card fraud, theft, spamming, phone harrassment, useage of illegal pirated corperate softwares, all this just to start the list of what [[Unixmad]]', [[Stefan]], and they're servers are doing 24/7 for nearly 4 years now , anyone that likes [[Unixmad]] or thinks he is a good person even after all this is clearly a fool, everything in this document is the truth and why i hate [[Unixmad]] so much, if you like [[Unixmad]] after all these sickening things he does, then you are no better than a KKK or Neo Nazi member and should go kill yourselfs, i do not tolerate facists, racists, or nazis, they are all bad people, and [[Unixmad]] is one of the worst of the worst, and no person with any morales could tolerate or support such a person like Stephane Portha or [[Stefan]] Knorr. The people that spin, lie and bend the truth in support of [[Unixmad]] will always exist, but i will always reveal the truth about [[Unixmad]], and EVERYTHING said in this document is true, despite what any assclowns try and say about this, and this supriseingly enough is only 1% of the bad things [[Unixmad]] has done, how some people even tolerate, none the less support such a bad person is beyond me... I fight against bad people like [[Unixmad]], why? Because unlike many others in this world i actually care about other people, and i will do everything in my power to stop [[Unixmad]] from hurting [[Graal]] or its innocent players, many say i want to destroy and kill [[Graal]], this is NOT true, i used to love [[Graal]], i only wish to stop [[Unixmad]]'s evil sadistic illegal actions and restore [[Graal]] to the great game it used to be when it was "for the players, by the players" , but if i have to destroy [[Graal]]Online in exchange to stop [[Unixmad]]'s tyranny, it will be regreteable, but sometimes some sacrifices have to be made for the greater good, lets just hope that [[Unixmad]] drops dead and that sacrifice never has to be made... I love [[Graal]] and lots of its players, and i wish to someday restore it to the grandness it once had, but bad people like [[Unixmad]] must be gotten rid of if that is to be achieved...
