You can "Like" someone's house from the sidebar:

You get a notification on each Like:

I think it's a cool feature for recognizing social gameplay, but I do hope it won't be exploited for the purpose of promoting code shops
Even if it does though, no real harm being done

I like

#1 right now literally just has a few fences next to his house. I find that hilarious, people will like anything.

Maybe add a limit of likes you can give? That way people give their daily like to a really nice house they see.

I'd really like it if the top 10 people had really amazing house designs. Villages and what not, maybe a library of all things graal related, or a very decorated spar arena.

Its fun but the spam will get annoying i can already see it

They just changed it so that you get an alert across the bottom of the screen instead of a PM

-200 for this cancer

Leah, Sarah, and Zicknex's house are very cool, hopefully some guild/GST hat museums and stuff get up there

People have asked for a dislike button, that'd be pretty funny if you were able to lose likes and drop past 0 tbh. Not saying it should be added, the negative point thing that is.

getting likes are ez

By far one of the creative ones Ive seen besides Leahs and a few others ive seen, also saw coco's old look and a few other oldies.

Forever Phantom should be top 10 that's for sure

This will for sure need a dislike button. Also, add the like button on top of where it is right now some houses may have mazes that need horses and bombs

I'm for a dislike button if it's the only way to keep those contests away.

Would love it if it can show your likes somwhere in the house menu

I feel like that's how it should have been introduced, without the leaderboard. That way it doesn't feel like a competition. Just something you get over-time. Maybe after 100 likes you get a plaque, after 1,000 you get a trophy. Just something that you have fun with, and progress in at your own pace.

I could be wrong though. Gotta wait and see how the leaderboard plays out.

You were wrong.

1/50 so far, and it's only been 8 months :)

Really cool stuff. I wish people had less clutter in their houses, though. :(

Zion is rly salty, but good riddance. His house doesn't even have any furniture.

leah got no korean flag -thumbs down-

and im glad that there's no prize for this leaderboard.

Thanks administration for taking our feedback into a reality!

Sarah asked her if she wants the Egyptian flag, she replied "I don't VPN m8"
????????

There kinda is though, at least if you have a maze in your house

Sarah does VPN. Not for bad intentions though. Leah probably just didn't know she was on vacation. I can see the confusion.

I want to see a dislike button too. I dont like "+1" systems that dont allow you to "-1."

And will this board reset seasonally as well? If so, ignore what I said since there wont be an issue with people staying at the top of that board forever.

Last thing; Id rather see the thumb up button somewhere else instead of usurping a hotkey.

I kinda agree, because this leaderboard creates a snowball where #1 gets more exposure, therefore more likes, and it just keeps going from there... If you guys remember that one Halloween with the candy bowls, that's how that went as well. It's probably unlikely that Leah loses the #1 seasonal rank from this point on just due to the natural advertising that the leaderboard offers.

I bet it would also help naturally weed out the BS "giveaways" or annoying mazes if people disliked houses that included them.

Or un-do your 'like' option.

"Rate House for pics"
I can see that happening on graal

"Like for Like?" *un-likes 5 mins later* You probably wouldn't even get the notification.
People are doing that is what I'm saying.

Dislike would work even better.

why do like for like? there's no benefit and what's the point of unliking it? waste of time.

unlike option can stop ppl from encouraging bs like 'giveaway' 'maze'.

idc if they do and dislikes can be abused.

This is cool

Is there a way to see how many likes you've got? I can only see my ranking rn.

YES PLEASE!

Yes it will reset seasonally with all the other boards. There is also no reward other than whatever fame people attach to the board so I don't think it needs to be made anymore complicated.

You can also like any house once per day, when your 'daily house likes timer' reset occurs you can go back and re-like any of those houses again.

I'd like to believe that the system will moderate itself and the truly good/interesting/cool houses will eventually rise to the top. I feel like a lot people are just going anywhere they can and pressing the button because it's new and shiny.

After reviewing screenshots there was no other better place for it on smaller devices. Your equipped item goes back to whatever it was when you use the like button or leave the house.

Can it not be somewhere in the bottom left hand corner with people's faces which show who's liked it and such? It could also show the number of likes the house has. Something similar to this:

Total house likes that never go away on your profile would be a nice touch

Would almost rather have it be a sign by the gate of your house, since then it would be in your house(and for those who don't have houses/don't make them public won't have a 0 on their profile).

the spam is real

Someone go wake up 4-Lom

Very nice. I don't like the placement of the like button - try putting it where the 'magnifying glass' goes for editor mode? You won't be editing other peoples' houses, so it won't be required?


No reward is kind of a downer - especially considering that housing is the only activity that costs anything in game to compete in.

Maybe a plaque or a little model house, depending on your placement?

I especially enjoy the little gnome face on the icon in the menu.

Cheers guys.

LOL Just noticed this. Wonder if its a coincidence.

The house man himself.

I love this

What do you mean I vpn?? I've been to France, Egypt and Spain this year my flag has only been these countries and nothing else. I only vpned at the end of the last season (2 days and only like 2h) as I was unable to accumulate points on my original pts that I had before I traveled and I was #1 before I traveled, the problem here is from your end, you made a system to prevent vpns and I wasn't vpning, you made me do it.
Now, my Egyptian wifi has some very excessive delay/ lag sometimes, if I use an Egyptian it makes me way less laggy/delaying. Oh and when I used the French vpn I had 200 ish ms and my Egyptian wifi is like 600-900 ms. I recorded everything. I did not cheat when I did "activities".

I certainly didn't put lipstick on for that shot, in any event.

Wait unless I was lagging Zion is 3rd on monthly leaderboard and house was literally empty, wtf.
Think it'd be cooler to see with guildhouses Ik alot of people who create there own games(chess etc) and stuff like big boat/ship etc in them as alot more space.. Also ik wouldn't be exactly liked at first but I think if they made it so couldn't place stuff in the black area's would make it more fitting and presentable also makes players actually design house/s abit more as can't just dish it out in the black.

yo g fatal tf.. u nvr gave me yo 3rd acct info xd

dunno why big farms are getting so much likes. if i search old utube vid, theres a guy with the most gralats that i did maze on.

edit:

i think i visited him several months later and by then he had like 1/4 of his farm turned to rainbows.

Give cool furniture as prizes instead of hats.

WHY DO YOU PEOPLE NEED SO MANY HATS!? I'VE ONLY EVER USED ONE IN MY TWELVE YEARS ON GRAAL!

Wow. Almost makes sense!

Right there. You VPN.

I said it wasn't for bad intentions. I was trying to explain why Leah might've thought you were VPNing to Egypt.

Why does it matter?

You can't just say "Sarah does Vpn" when I only got about 100 wins on it and I have 96k wins. I even had it in my status when I did it and explained why nothing to hide.

I was literally just trying to explain why Leah thought you VPN. I'm not accusing you of anything.

We're not getting any prizes for this leaderboard because there are trolls and idiots that will dislike the better houses and will like the ones with nothing. No effort= no prize. This was a really stupid feature to add. :/
