Can't play Graal at college.
 

Ok, so I have 2 hour break between classes at the community college. So I figure why not play Graal. However when I tried I couldn't get on the game. It sat at the initial start-up screen and just sat there, like wtf. Is it a security thing or what?

EDIT: Actually come to think of it I can't play any online games. Darn.

That's a bummer.
My Graal Era doesn't even load on my MacBook, the other games(Zone, Classic) do though.

Yikes, that blows. On my college campus, all online games seem to work for me. I play Guild Wars 2 on-campus sometimes because there's a 7 hour gap between my classes, and my internet at home sucks.

But yes, on some campuses, they block certain types of websites. My high school before had a similar system for online games and social media sites.

You should invest into a VPN. I suggest www.proxy.sh

An alternative could be Hotspot Shield.

K12 covers most schools internet.they block blogs,games,forums,and anything not school related.at my school u can do anything appropriate, if u logged in to view a video thats inappropriate,the system will know.

Have you tried just contacting the network administrator?

Seeing as the game makes the connection to the game server, with the start screen displaying, it doesn't seem as if the network is blocking the ports. I don't know what the issue could be, however.

A VPN wont fix issues with the community college network not supporting the needed ports. They don't necessarily target block it, they just don't support it.

Luckily my college enables gaming. I got to play LoL with my friend during my break between classes :D

Tunnel your stuff through a socks proxy running on port 80

Same here, even right now I'm at school but Educational Public Wi-Fi doesn't allow online games.

Lol you nerds playing Graal at school what if someone see's you?!
omg i dare not even imagine..

Hey whats that game your playing?
Oh this? its a mmo called Graal
Graal? wtf kind of **** name is that
Idk man i just play it

That's what my friends told me when they saw the screen title.
They still call it Grail...

I've told nobody because I literally can't think of a more socially awkward situation than trying to pronounce Graal. I've never said it out loud.

Exactly what my brother does.

see they purposely block this kind of stuff off, it's not a glitch, it's like asking for shoes at McDonalds.

But McDonalds requires shirt and shoes.

I'm aware, that doesn't mean asking them will get you no where.

everyone I ever tell about graal are like this
"That is so boring. there are no quests and all you do is kill people or fight big groups of people" *turns around to play call of duty TDM*

But of course it depends on what you ask right?

exactly.

It depends on a lot of factors... however a lot of ports are closed by default, and there is little reason to open them all up without being prompted.

And the biggest reason is it's by far the simplest and quickest thing to do before resorting to the more extreme methods to bypass it.

Considering this is a college campus, I doubt the administrator will help you out so you can play graal.

He can't seem to play any online games from his original post, which I imagine would be problematic on a college campus. I'm not saying it's a solution, I'm just saying there's no harm in trying.

uh okay man.

I see it now..
student:I need help make it so i can play graal on the internet at college while im bored
administrator:what is that?
Student:a game people don't know about.
administrator:i will accept because a lot of jocks keep throwing eggs at my house to play Call of duty.

Graal isn't even worth playing lol. Think of it as a blessing in disguise and play another game.

My friend thinks it could be because the wireless acces for guests is to slow to connect to the servers. Idk, I dont guess it matters lol

In that case use your phones data or something.

I do not dare..play graal at a college..
Its too risky for peoples popularity...it'll...it'll..RUIN OUR LIVES...im not risky enough to get made fun of and just saying the word graal in real life is weird enough..

You guys :p

I can't use my phones data cuz it doesn't have data. It's more like an iPod at the moment.

Also, Dont mind playing Graal at college. It's a community college and Im transfering after I get my associates so idc what people think lol

Watashi wa anata o sonchō

lmao, just talk to the IT department. I too am at a community college taking Comp Engineering. So talking to them about computer tech and getting to know them gave me privileges to bypass our wifi restrictions. But I don't really even care since I just use my Sprint data (doesn't slow down).

Doing computer engineering is the best decision you will ever make. So fun.

That would be smart. Since I am taking Computer programming I might be able to get in on that slice of pie.

Will do friend. I can try the IT guys probably.

You're doing computer programming? Good career choice that stuff is getting really big now because of the ever-growing reliance on technology in our societies.

*looks at iHot's profiles*
im not good at math but they add up to over 6k hours of on-line time, weird. :love:



IKR, why pay 30k a year when you can get the same classes for 5k (if you live in CA).

Holy hell he's a ****ing casual.

fokin casuals m9

I bet they don't want ya cheatin' on them college exams through graal.
Trading rares for exam answers. U drop first.

lol k no cheating :3

Not sure if anybody asked this, but does your college network have a firewall/blocking system? My school does so my iPhone's apps are unable to use internet features.

Yup, far worse than your typical high school's "city authorized" blocking system that was purchased on a cheap low budget by some outside source. Cause now it's computer engineering students that are doing the work, lol so they know the tricks everyone uses to get around blocks.


True, but the Indians and Chinese, Japs...etc are getting to the level where programming is going to be taught in highschool. So if you're going into Programming, just know that you're not going to be making over 50k without putting in work.

Already have a couple of ideas for apps that I know could get some big $$$ (hint hint* Clock into your sh*tty job just by walking into the door with your phone). While I rack up $10k for each store :love:


I hope it's as fun as it sounds, just need the right team. Hope they're not as cringey as the movies show.

Not gonna lie: that's f*ckin genius.

lol ikr, anyone that's planning on learning comp engineer just for a job should really look into other professions. lol soon enough everyone will know how to create an app.

lol I've been writing down my ideas just in case I forget.

Since when was computer engineering only about making cell phone apps? It's more about embedded design.

cs is where it's at, doe

PS: Ideas aren't worth anything unless you can do something with them. If you can program the embedded system for the clocking, the proximity detection, and an interface for the user, kudos to you.

Since I'm not a "go talk to people about it" person, I'll just bring my PS Vita :D

Also I'm planning to develop or program videogames in the future and probably move to Japan for a job since it's booming over there and I'm tired of good ol 'Merica.

Well that's my field for comp engineering. Thought we were on the same boat, but yea as you said, there is other means of use for it.

You just want Senpai to notice you :D

It's tru :'( but will Senpai ever notice? Probably not....i cri ery tem.

When the time is right, Senpai will give you all the attention you'll need.

I on the other hand want to head over to Jap and make a game for the Oculous OS. I know the Japs want to make what I know you know I know we know that everyone knows we all want ;)
