If Graal Never Existed
 

Where would you be right now?
Would you have better/worse grades?
Would you be a better person for it?
If you're a gfx artist, would you have ever gotten into graphics? What about you, scripters?

Oh boy would a lot be different for me (I was actually having a similar conversation about this today with Dusty. What a coincidence!)

---

To answer your questions:

-I would probably still be living with my mom
-Might have either gone to college or joined the military
-my grades probably would have stayed the same tbh
-I don't think I would be a better person. In fact, I think I would be worse off.
-I would have never gotten into pixel art or the little bit of scripting I actually know (If that even counts)

---

Other things that would have been different:

-I wouldn't occasionally hear graal sounds in some songs I listen to (like the bomb, gralat, and chorus sounds ._.)
-Might have been better at drawing on paper
-Would have probably never gotten a tablet and started drawing digitally
-Never would have discovered that I like digital art a lot more than printed art
-Might not have been as techy as I am now
-Probably wouldn't be as into gaming as I am now
-Probably would have never met Dusty (which is the biggest impact imo)

There's probably more but that's all the most important stuff I can think of right now.

I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE

Who plays Graal with sounds? That is your issue

- I probably wouldn't have quite the sense of humor I do now.

- Wouldn't be as mentally tough, graal has actually forced me into some very difficult situations(not the game itself, my former lack of self-control.) which have made me grow as a person.

- probably never would've gotten as into computers in general.

- would have spent more time on my actual gaming console.

- I wouldn't see my grades/intellect improving, I would have found other ways to waste my time anyway.

- would have made myself lunch for the past two years instead of playing graal over my lunch break, lol.

This.

Mang if graal never existed I'd play Albion more. Nuff said.

I would maybe still be the same just with another game

-well not in narnia, like I am now
-na, my grades haven't suffered. I''m just more of a procrastinator
-NOO Graal has definitly helped me be a better person
-The little gfx i do is because i played Graal, so that's a definite impact

others...
-never would've met my bestie for life, and other great friends
-would be 22 dollars 50 cents richer (from a noob account)
-might not have a computer right now, and my ipad might not have broken (long story)

Well if Graal would have never existed, we wouldn't have a huge family (community), that we have now, however some of the people that work in any playerworld server have had a huge positive impact on their life at some point, and also changes on life in general.

If not for Graal....

- I would have a lot less friends in real life (Graal gave me a chance to be more social and in effect helped me talk to other people)
- I would at no point have any interest in art; I have very little interest now so not much would be different.
-I don't think it would effect how my grades were in middle and highschool very much, I did awful and lost interest in school but I don't think that was all directly related to Graal.
-I never would've found reddit without Graal; and probably would not get into weight lifting for another few years and would miss out on some sweet late teenage years gains.

- I would not have met Latte and consequently be dating some ratchet white girl still.
- I would also probably be going into the Army rather than Air Force had I not met Latte.
- I would be all over that groovy stuff if I didn't date Latte also.

Overall I think I prefer my life with Graal in it, can't think of a way that Graal has horribly effected me negatively. I even got my Zone Staff Acc's Graal# tatted on my shoulder lol.

#Graalationships4lyfe

Same goes for me pretty much.

I would have found a different game to play. Probably WoW or something.

- I probably wouldn't have pals over the internet (I haven't made any friends like the ones I have from Graal in any other game).
- I would have been less into games during highschool (which wouldn't have changed much overall)
- Graal kickstarted me being more social when I was awkward and ending middle school/starting highschool because it's a lot easier to talk to people over the internet and I learned off of that. Although, I think I would be in the same position with or without it at this point.

At the end of the day, I think the only lasting effect from playing Graal for so long is the pals made. I haven't had much else either destructive or constructive come from the game.

I wouldnt cheated on him with his cat best friend
(May sound weird but it happend)

Show pic of graal ID I wanna see

Three things.

1) thanks for the idea.
2) why you're staff... Ill do my main since I've had it 5ever.
3) having just two points sounds weird so here's a third.

What has changed me
-I'm more social
-I made one friend form my old school and funny thing he stalked me once graal before I knew him
-I know more about things

Where would you be right now?
- Probably the same place I'm at really...
Would you have better/worse grades?
- Better, I skipped class a lot in college, drunk, and making a server that didn't finish.
Would you be a better person for it?
- I don't think it changed a lot of who I am, but probably how I interact.
If you're a gfx artist, would you have ever gotten into graphics? What about you, scripters?
- Giant maybe, probably not. Graal started me into all that.

-in other game,talking to my crush every night(now none..)
-yes,it be better because I could focus
-yes,I might have a part time job now -,-

All of these answers really suprised me.

I guess I'll answer my own questions now.

I would have worse grades in writing, my spelling and grammar sucked before Graal. Now I've improved a slight amount.
I'd probably be a lot nicer. Graal kinda made me a bitch.
I would still be into irl art, never would have given pixel art a try.
I'd have less friends for sure.

Graal actually made me more of a bitch

I would be playing dungeon fighter online.

My own question*

All receding questions all derived from the original prompt.

Oh did I mention, graal made me a grammar Nazi?

Wait mangsi you have friends besides me? Oh... Now I feel less special.

Would be a lot different!

I would be a better person, I would of developed better feelings towards people in the real world instead of online.
I would have better grades considering the fact I have B's and C's.
I would probably be a nerd ._.


Now that I think about it I would of had a better life without it. But eh, its addictive...

@2 I loved my experience on Zone as staff more than any other server.

I said I had slightly better grammar ;( don't correct me.
And yes surprisingly, I do.

meant just 2 dollars here LOL

Am I the only one here who wouldn't have a different life at all?
I mean like everything I do cus of graal I already did anyways with different games xD

If not for Graal... I wouldn't have met many of my good friends that I interact with daily, including my very best friend. Wouldn't have gotten into pixel art, which is now one of my favorite hobbies (of the few I have). Wouldn't have met some girl I dated long-distance (our breakup has served as a valuable slap in the face and woken me up to some personal flaws of mine).

I am extremely glad I discovered Graal and continued playing the game, and continued to get further involved in the community.

Hasn't affected my school performance much (if at all), but I will admit that it eats up the majority of my free time - I don't like going a day without playing.

This thread wouldn't exist.
Graalians wouldn't exist.

I would of not been able to attempt breaking the world record for the most amount of worms captured in an MMORPG

i wouldn't have autism at the age of 12

i would have never done art

I would have straight A+'s rather than A's (In my grading system I would've gotten 100General Average, rather than 94General Average.)
I would have become more of a bitch.
I would have become more of a nerd.
I would have become a prodigy.
I would have become a bob ross.
I would have been a millionaire by now.
I would have been a Grade 10 Student rather than a Grade 8 student.
I might've been in college next year.
I might've been in US studying arts, and architecture or something.
I would've been a prodigy, with many talents.

Well your life must suck as much as mine

My life really sucks. :blush:
To be fair, Graal actually also helped me with real life issues, like parents, and stuff, suicidal thoughts, and idk being too immature.

I really thank Graal's Players for making me more of a bitch and less of a nerd, or else I would've been in television making the first time travelling machine ever existed.

i would probably be a famous game developer

I wouldn't hear the pm sound in my ear at random times during the day!
Any one els hear graal noises in there head? or is it only me?!?!?!?!
Also I would be sad and lonely looking for anther mmo to play that I will like...

I'd probably be successful in life.

This thread so old I forgot I ever even posted in it.

....

Guys it isn't too late to chase your passion

I wouldn't notice if it never existed as I didn't played so I don't know the outcome. However probably would have had more sleep at night.

The server lag would be gone.

I'd never become a pixel artist. (Even though I suck at it.)
I would never met my best friends. (Kyle Kol and Tricky.)
One other thing, I'd never be interested in making a game if it wasn't for Graal.

On the contrary, I'd have awesome grades, a life, and a job.

Damn I forgot about this thread
