used to be crappy at school because of graal but I learned to control my time on it and so my grades are back to an A

I lost a few Friends, my english was geting better,...

Causes my iPod battery to about 10 minutes without charging.

Pros: friends, fun
Cons: staying indoor more, not being active, digging through my mom's drawers looking for my iPod
I could list a lot more but I'm lazy.

Aren't you only 10? o_o

Meh, i started failing classes, lost a couple friends, but on graal i gained at least 100 more friends. I control my play time. Now my life is pretty good.

I know your feel...

Graal (well, actually Dinosmash) has also ruined my life in an indirect way. On Dinosmash, I met friends who would be my friends for 3+ years now (still are), and they convinced me to get an Xbox. **** went down from there. I made 7 great friends I've had since 09 on Dinosmash/Graal, but now... Yeah.

what friends

7

it changed my life, i swapped my bed time from 9 pm to 3 am,:)

If you're grades drop because of Graal, or you spend time away from your friends or family because of it....you have serious issues. And chances are, if its not Graal, its something else that would do this to you. You just have problems. Its not Graal.

As for me, Graal introduced me to programming, I made some really awesome friends, and even met my ex boyfriend and I spent 2 1/2 awesome years with him.
So, whats wrong with all of you?

Everyone has different reactions to things jazz. Its not that people have serious issues, its that sometimes people can get themselves addicted to something that is important to them. Just because you have had a positive reaction to graal, doesn't mean everyone else does. People are different, and its not really nice to assume that everyone that has been struck with negative side effects from the graal experience has serious issues.

I've developed an online persona while playing Graal based on how I wish I could act offline.

El Palazzo?

Lets see the damage here:
Negatives:
2 of my ipod batteries destroyed
almost 4,000 combined hours (All servers over 3 years) lost from my life
grade averages going from all A's to B's
Loosing a few friends
Developing an adddiction
Positives:
Gaining alot of friends online
Learning to pixel art
Learning how to work in a business environment before initially working at a job
Learning about different cultures around the world from the community
Having a very good hobby to relieve stress and escape
Having a use for my ipod finally besides music
All the fun i have had over the past 3 years :)

Not sure if it helped or hurt yet.

D: wow. Graal should be marketed as work experience then :3

Bad, I became addicted and I play way too much.
