Graal made me friends.
No, graal hasn't really effected my life except for a few dollars spent on graal at packs and $100 on my Dev Server. Graal has also taught me a new programming language-GS2. Graal has kept my grades the same, straight A's on every test. I've played graal for a year, no impact on my life.
I still have a lot of school friends, I was recently asked out (I declined), and my grades are the same. Also, I learned to not be shy anymore. I talk to my graal friends over Skype despite my mother's "stranger danger" conversations.
