Don't afk
 

I know a lot of people do that to gain hours but your killing your mobile device. Take it from me I used to do it now my iPod dies within less than an hour. Graal is a big game and since it's server based that constantly loads information into your device, it's burning your battery and making it weaker in the long run.

So pretty much the only option is to delete the app and it's files using ifile and that will pretty much save alot of battery? ._.

I never afk to gain hours and I had the same thought about it ruining your iPod device. Leaving it on too long also can cause extreme heating on your iPod which really isn't good. If you're going to afk don't do it for a long time or like NYN said it will ruin your device.

i agree . my ipod 2.. or 3rd gen .. i forget.. it dies so quickly i tent to use my vip to play on facebook cos of no lag .. to this day i dont afk. only for 5 mins to get something to eat or so.

I don't understand why people still idle for hours. Most people end up hiding their hours after a certain point anyway :P

maybe afk on a pc?

also NYN you are incorrect, the connecting to the server is not what causes massive battery usage. It is the inefficient programming/rendering that causes mass battery usage.

Get on your computer, use GraalOnline Classic for Facebook... Problem solved. AFK Train.

I never afk, i see no point

Also bandwth caps are comming into effect and it would suck to go over cap becase your hour boosting
graal uses a lot of data

4000 hours later and 3 laptop batteries later...

if you're computer/laptop can't handle a 2D facebook game that is pathetic

It cant handle a 2d game run 24 hours a day 365 days a year

Idk how long i was always playing on my iPod 3g but the battery is ruined 1-2h and it is empthy lol

now i have my iPad2 and i'm never with it afk

When you but ur device to charging and you'r playing is it not good ur battery will getting warm/hot and will ruin the battery after 1year the batterys are not maked for 24/7 charging

I find it hard to believ that some of you dont afk. So you guys are saying that youve played graal for 1/2 a year? Thats just wrong....say if your 15 then youve spent 1/30 of your life on graal= abt. 1/18 of your waking hours.....

I only went afk to 1000 hours then stopped, so anything after that is my legitamate play time.

I found this bad too. I would come back from school and notice that my iPod would be overheated.

I afk on RC all the time :D

Luckily I have an iPad and 100% is 10 hours of battery life anyways, I doubt it would be killed so dramatically to only last 1 hour on a full charge. I can see a minimum of 5 hours before it dies completely and needs a new one. Also, just a question. Can u get an iPad battery replaced? Also, how does an HD get fried? iPad uses flash memory, so is it possible to damage that and lose everything too?

I hate afkers they think they are so pro when the dnt no anythin about graal

cool story bro.

topsamman...go lick someones butthole.

play plugged in? or use a desktop XD

Very true nick, I've notice a decrease in my batteries life, I fixed this problem by removing launch daemons on my iPod.

you dont remove demons. we remove you

Also shut up

Honestly, hours are only good if you have the stats to back it up. I pride myself in having 10000 + kills in less than 50 hours on iClassic. (I play PC Graal, not iClassic but I used to play the facebook version). Your 5000 hours and what not with no real stats / something to show for it is only saying you are good at using electricity. Last time I checked that's not a skill. Noobs afk because they think its cool to have a lot of hours. Yet, once you get to the point where you have a lot of hours its embarrassing.

Those who have burned their batteries can also have it replaced if it's out of warranty (and possibly for free if it's still in warranty).

It's $79 through Apple for an iPod Touch. I would recommend looking for a local repair shop who can replace the battery for half that, worst case just pay Apple or go the extra mile and buy a new one.

Why would one waste O so much electricity to look like they have wasted more of their life on an online game

Being afk all the time is stupid, but lets not be so naive to think an ipod wastes "so much electricity" as you put it :p

I agree that afk is dumb and takes no skill. But seriously, does PKing take any skill either? Just go into a crowd and randomly hit sword... Now sparring is what counts....although I suck.

Well in iClassic and iEra I believe, it only shows your kills. If it would show you deaths like the PC game does then you could tell who is more skillful in terms of k/d ratio. But as of right now I agree with you pking takes no skill or at least you can't tell who has skill or not because there is no way for checking how many deaths someone has. (unless you say showdeaths) but it doesn't display it to all the other players. I think I had 10k kills / 2-5 k deaths.

Too late to stop

I AFK'd a couple hundred hours on my 2G a while back, and let me tell you. It killed it.

if we didnt afk it would look like everyone in graal had no life Xp although its pritty good how we can do the hidehours thingy now

If you're jailed you need to AFK. lol

I've never AFKed and I have 230 hours I think that's a pretty healthy stat.

There is no jail anymore?!

I miss the jail lol. I guess people enjoyed being in it so much they needed to get rid of it.

Well, i think they got rid of it because they realised how peculiar it is to force people to leave a game running for a long period of time.

debatable

I agree, but I still AFK.

Why?

To get something called hours.

You can get hours by playing the game... And who cares about hours? All it proves is that you afk a lot, congratulations, you leave your iDevice on a lot.

People AFK so they can enter the hour rooms

Many things wrong with that statement, and i'll start off by pointing out the obvious, that people with 6000 hours can go in any room anyways. Not too mention it's pointless to screw up your battery life just to go to an underpopulated room that serves no purpose.

there isnt? 0.o they just go straight to ban on classic? LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOO

Before you go on spamming like that:
This system is on all iServers (FB Server, iClassic and iEa),
people get warned the 1st time. If they go on like "man nothing else than a warning" and gonon with the illegal thing it would get into a ban. So watch it as a 10 seconds (till you realized it, reader the text, made screens to be proud of,...) jail and the next jail would be a ban.

they're getting ahead of the game, so they'll have enough hours to enter any future rooms added. Plus, newbies worship people with high hours.

Once you hit 2000 hours it really does not matter anymore. I mean, I have 3k hours but i stopped afking after like 2100. I only afk when im on the computer or eating. Thats it. My old 2nd gens battery life was terrible after I afked like 2k hours. Now I have a 4th gen, and its still really good because I never AFK.
