How to convince someone to play Graal?
 
I've tried to show a friend a few servers he might like, as well as explain the history of GraalOnline... he still refuses to give it a chance... "I don't play iPhone games" poor mislead guy x.x Any ideas as to how I could convince him to at least acknowledge PC Graal is a good game (to a decent degree)?

I'm sure the community will thank me for bringing this guy in btw, he is amazing with scripting in various languages so he could really contribute a lot.

You don't, they either want to play it or they don't.

Bugging him about it will probably make him dislike it even more

Well, yeah ok... I know, I shouldn't bug him too much more about it, I'm probably getting annoying.

MBK 07-20-2015 04:00 AM

Just ask them and help them get the hold of this game.That's how i got Wick to this game.

Aguzo 07-20-2015 04:10 AM

You sound like an annoying friend from what you said. Meaning: Doesn't get a clue. Sounds like you want him in for your personal gain, rather than him playing for fun...

Oh, hell no. I don't want him for any personal gain. I just am always trying to find new ways to connect and game with him, and Graal seems like a good way of doing that but my friend just doesn't want to give it a chance. But yeah, I need to stop bothering him about it, I know.

Not true! One of my friends badgered me for months to watch The Walking Dead, and I insisted over and over I hate zombie shows and no matter how much he tells me to watch it I never will. Well a few months later my mom told me she started watching The Walking Dead. To give some background my mom probably hasn't even touched a TV in the past 6 years (Just to watch the Cardinals play in the Super Bowl), and since then we haven't had cable/netflix or anything like that cause she was so ****ing pissed the Stealers won and still kinda is mad about it. So I was all like "****, my mom is watching this, I have to atleast try it, it can't be that bad with all the popularity it has." So I did, and holy **** you can bet by the end of the first episode I was hittin up my brotha telling him that Walking Dead is the bomb and that I was forever sorry for doubting his masterful judgement, and then I couldn't stop watching it and I didn't get out of bed till 6 pm one weekend cause I was watching Walking Dead so much and I felt really bad afterwards so I just watched more Walking Dead and after like a week I was starting season 3 or something. Anyway what I am saying is that if Graal is as good as the Walking Dead then his friend will become addicted and end up pissing in a bottle because he is to immersed to get out of his bed. But Graal isn't that good so they should add zombies.

kenthefruit 07-20-2015 05:17 AM

Why would you do this to your friend??? I'm sure his Graal free lifestyle is healthy.

Seņor Albonio 07-20-2015 08:53 AM

You don't.

Bryan* 07-20-2015 09:03 AM

If he doesn't want to, don't force it.

DraGun 07-20-2015 11:26 AM

No don't this is a sickness and no matter how hard you say or try to quit you will always end up coming back, meeting someone that play or coincidentally find it somewhere while you're searching up the net. Honestly this game made me skip school several time when I was in middle school.

Comyt 07-20-2015 01:12 PM

don't ruin your friend's life and ask us for help in doing it you monster

Xenthic 07-20-2015 03:14 PM

Lol as soon as I showed one of my friends about Graal he was like "ha geyyyyyyy"

Brute force.

Why would you mention degenerate iGraal first, instead of PC master race?

Stealers? is it because they stole the Superbowl win at the end?

tell them this game is like the old zelda style just online , if they liked zelda they will play;)

Bioboss 07-24-2015 01:50 PM

I don't give a crap what meh friends think

Arsenal 07-24-2015 04:07 PM

I convinced my friend to play it. He did, the next day he told me he quit he because ''you just walk around''. He said he doesn't know where to go. I told him it's kinda like clash of clans. You have to spend time on the game to get good stuff and have a good sense of what you're doing. But he wasn't buying it. Well, at least he tried the game. :/

SouthernZombie* 07-24-2015 04:37 PM

Like clash of clans? ._.

Emera 07-24-2015 04:54 PM

Tell him play on pc.

Hmmmm why where you trying to make someone do something they didnt want to do anyways

Juice 07-25-2015 12:23 AM

How to convince a person to play graal
1. I will give you free stuff if you play
2. Slap him till he says "I WILL PLAY GRAAL!! STOP SLAPPING ME.
3. Tell him about how many girls you can get.
4. Tell him to play and if he doesn't like it or doesn't want to then don't force him to play it
e.e

Distorted_P2P 07-25-2015 01:29 AM

Why would you convince your friend to play Graal? That's like stabbing him...

Jent 07-30-2015 02:06 AM

My cousin introduced me to Graal but I thought it was crappy since it was just Pixels everywhere. I started playing once because I had nothing to do and now this all I play. Graal is a drug man.

Hugop 07-30-2015 02:45 AM

"Don't judge a book by its cover."

My favourite quote fits perfectly in this topic. Thanks to this quote, I was able to do a lot of fun things, for example playing a MMORPG game that looks like a game for kids.

The cover of this game says nothing about Graal being a game for developers. Most ones have not noticed but thanks to Graal, many players learned to do graphic which can help them getting an idea for their future. I see some players leaving Graal to improve their graphic and to be honest, I am happy when I read that reason, so long as they are serious about it.

What I am trying to say is that you are doing it wrong. Give him your phone and make him play Graal, dont spoil to much but let him do everything by himself when he wants to. Show him Playerworld and teach him scripting.

As a side note, if he still doesnt like it, just give up. Not everyone likes anything.

Draenin 07-30-2015 05:58 PM

Just tell people it's basically 'Zelda Online.' That's literally how I even found the game back in 1999.

If you look that up now on Google, Graal doesn't even show up because they haven't updated their website's tags and keywords for almost a decade.

MattKan 07-31-2015 09:53 PM

I would be cautious. Studies have shown that, on average, people lose 3-5 friends everytime they mention "Graal" in a social environment.

Unfortunately this is not a friend that lives nearby. We're just good friends on Steam. So just putting it in his hands can't be done. I'm not going to try and get him to play it any more anyway, I think I've simply gotten to the point to where it just is annoying now and though we're not super bff's I'd rather not lose his friendship.
