No I did not! I am still bitter.  

wow so you're og classic oldbie. make sense why u got an npc of urself, jacob_bald6225  

wow old classic sounds much more interesting than todays classic.  

I barely remember any of this stuff and I was an FAQ

wow old classic sounds much more interesting than todays classic.

Though what Thor was building towards was great, 2004 Classic was the pinnacle of Graal Online. Quality was a bit shoddy but as a whole it was pretty spectacular.  

This sounds lit, should readd some of this stuff back into the game  

Speaking of 2004, anyone have screenshots or just remembers the classes and nations of Valikorlia around that time? I think I remember the classes not working, maybe because I was a free player? Anyways, can't find anything about it anymore, was just wondering.

Which Val are you referring to? The one with the level up system and cute GUI or the one with the cute Chrono Trigger style overworld map?

I think the overworld map one if it's where you exit areas and walked around on the big map, don't remember being able to level on that server, just RP. I've found familiar kingdom names like Alkaria and Empyria, but I remember more (think I found the orc place once, didn't think it still existed). All the resources I find about the classes seem really old though, like 5 classes when I can remember a bunch. I'm guessing they stopped working with removal of leveling?  

And I wrote the questions !!! Awesome find Ziplock!  

Also weren't you an FAQ (Admin... ?) Ziplock?

Also weren't you an FAQ (Admin... ?) Ziplock?

For some reason I think he was but maybe it's a Mandela effect kind of thing.

Heck, was I ever FAQ Administrator? FAQ Assistant Admin? I don't really remember, though definitely was FAQ for a bit though. Now I feel really old for not remembering these things.
