A Look at Graal From a Professional
We all know the two guys that run and own Eurocenter are Unixmad and Stefan, the original name for Graal Online was Zelda Online but was soon changed after Nintendo threatened a Lawsuit for Copyright infringement, Graal Online was a hit in its early years of release and its engine is outstanding, brilliantly designed, yet was never used to its full potential. Graal is a 2D overhead RPG where Zelda meets its World of Warcraft maker with multiple servers. Most servers are player owned, operated, and created, which I believe all have some sort of corrupt staff member(usually a 13 year-old with no professionalism) that abuses god-like abilities that normal players don't have often ending up in jailing or banning for some stupid, irrelevant reason. The main servers though are better but not perfect and still have some staff issues at times. I feel that Graal needs more professional staff that are mature, non-player involved, and serious about their job. Graal used to have multiple thousands of players on in its early years, but this number has dramatically dropped to an average of 1,423 global server players per day. In all I think Eurocenter management needs to reanalyze and refocus their long and short-term goals for Graal Online to a fine point where they start taking the company to a more serious and professional level, whether that involves opening an office and starting a real game studio or taking an inventory of their current resources and focus on not just making a bigger game, but a BETTER GAME. Maybe even seeking professional resources that could help them. I think that Graal Online has a great platform and outstanding engine, it just needs people and products that will revive the game and company into its full potential. Please levave feedback on what you think.

I would love to make a SinglePlayer version of a server, just to play. Stefan would never listen to me, but I think if there was a huge SinglePlayer version with loads of quests it would keep players really entertained. Plus he could add a local chat server that you can log onto that simply puts a dialogue box (like on Minecraft) with everyone talking, so you can ask questions and talk to people while doing quests and stuff.

Graal is not just an MMO. It can be played as single player too. It's just long forgotten that you could do that. The original Graal was meant to be played Single Player.

The closest to a single player server is the current reconstruction of Classic PC. |

A single player server would be great. Never would ever need staff, once it's fully developed it's done.

I would so make this server. I could handle all the levels and storyline writing and then we could get some GATs and NATs.

Yeah. Then I got bored and decided that making an overworld that'll take me two years would be more fun
