Hello dear readers...

Many of you are either new to Graal, or have about 1000-5000 hours logged. But even so, most of us are left with questions which seem to remain unanswered. We try to google these questions and get no answers. We ask our fellow Graal players, and not a single one knows about what we are asking either. We try to contact the staff and admins, yet they either don't reply, or tell us that we don't need to know.

There are many parts of the Graal map which seems to be BLOCKED off. Many buildings, chests, paths, and so forth which no longer serve a purpose, or are simply a decoration that makes us wonder "why even include it, if it doesn't do anything?". Areas such as the Golden Gate, which is believed to be a special area for Admins and Staff only. Houses and buildings such as the small house next to the waterfall next to Snow Town, or the building located above Mod Town in the mountains.

Then we have monumental locations which are blocked off as well, such as the temple near Fletchery, or the temple located in the desert which are no longer accessible. But why? Why are we blocked off from these areas? Why does Graal have so many unexplained and unlisted areas?

What about the Zorbi Cave with the guards? Why is there no solution to this? Why can't we see what is inside? What about all these other caves which have been blocked off because of a "cave in"? Yet, at that same area, the other entry way isn't blocked off and actually leads to somewhere? Why is the Hammer Quest no longer available? Why can't we get the Hammer to knock down these pegs and break these stones so that we can get all these blocked off chests?

What is the purpose of the tent in Mod Town? Why is there a chest outside Graal City which can be reached using the Rat Morph, but cannot be opened? Why are most rat holes blocked off? Why is there quest dialogue, that leads to a no longer available quest? Why is there dialogue that is bolded or highlighted, but no clues or answers can be found anywhere on the map? Why is VIP island so special? Why can't we see the island, but be unable to buy anything on it as a regular member?


Graal is a truly magnificent game, and is very addictive the longer you play it. But... there is also so much wrong with it. There are locations and chests which don't serve a purpose or no longer serve a purpose. There are NPCs which no longer allow certain quests to be accessed or completed, yet they still mention said quest information openly (such as the Gnomes talking about this "powerful hammer").


WHY? I have been playing for over 400 hours now, but no matter how hard I try to find more to this game than just the small number of quests available (of which I completed all of them except God Bow), why is so much missing? Why is this game turning into nothing more than a Sim RPG? Why are there no valid answers to any common questions updated to 2016-2017?

I have spent a long time walking around, asking members with over 5000 hours put into this about all the common content readily available, but not explained. Like... what are the horse races and when can they be accessed? Why is Nexus and Revolution almost always closed, and when it does open, there is usually no notification or reason for doing so except it being the holidays or a special event? I mean, let's be honest, all the best mounts and items worth buying seem to be there, yet they can only be accessed at certain moments.

Why are most treasure maps obnoxiously difficult to solve, and when you try to find the answer online, they are unavailable or are from years ago and no longer do any good because the maps are different. No matter where I look online, some maps cannot be found, leaving you to wander aimlessly.

Don't get me wrong, if these questions never get answered, I'll still keep on playing... I just wish I knew why this game feels incomplete or lacking in terms of things to do. I mean seriously, I almost finished all the treasure maps and almost every quest. Once I do that, all I have left to do is save up Gralats to buy everything eventually. Then after that, nothing left but capturing towers in a guild, of which then we'll lose and have to re-capture again and again and again and again. I mean, after a while, this game gets repetitive and seems pointless to do anything except save Gralats to buy crap just to impress other members and hope that one day, they'll stop calling you a NOOB.

I just wish I knew why... why does this game feel empty and lifeless? Yeah, there are around 4000 players every day, but they all do the same thing day in and day out. Towering, blob hunting, player killing (PK), asking for gifts, asking for farmers, displaying the same weapon and shield codes in virtually every house.

I mean, honestly... this game feels depressing at times. Most people don't know how to hold a legitimate conversation, almost all the OLD members from way back when no longer come around or anything. Like... who are all these people? Who's Raven? Who's Fox? Who's Dozer? Who are all these people? Are they staff? Are they ex-staff? Are they legendary member from back when this first started?

I just wish I knew the answers. Everywhere I look online seems to provide little to no answers, or the answers that are provided are from 3 to 5 years ago. To be honest, one of the most irritating this is having to wait for the next event in ordet to get a certain free morph or mount. Like the Witch Quiz for the Broom mount. Unavailable until unknown or possibly never available again. What about the Statue Morph? Not available until when... next March... next November?

I just feel like there isn't much left to do except save up to buy stuff.

Located above Mod Town. What is it? Why is it there if we cant access it?


Located above Onnet Forest. What does it say? Why does it even exist?


Located next to Snow Town. What can't we access it? What does it go to?


Located next to Snow Town. What's inside? Why does it exist if we can't access it?


More to come...  

These are all part of the old map before they wiped it.

also thing above mod is a dock and im pretty sure it was the boat to BC
and just an fyi- none of them have warps, so you cant go anywhere. completely useless, theyre hiding nothing.  

The second picture is part of a quest which very little people know how to do. Once you get to the sign it actually gives you 3 scrambled words which turn into the password for granted acess to the zorbi cave. In the cave you end up meeting an ancient zorbi wizard whoms soul has been trapped in there for a very long time.

Once you free this wizard he actually multiplies your players gralats spawn ratio by 3x , that's why you see a bunch of people who have a very large amount of gralats all the time. But the secret to gaining access to this sign and all the quest details before that have been kept a secret by a selected few for nearly 3 years now.

tru tru, thats how I bought everysingle item in the game.  

Located next to River Hat Shop. What purpose does it serve?


Located near Fletchery. What purpose does it serve?


Located in the Desert. Used to be reachable with bomb glitch. Now can't even be reached. What purpose does it serve?



I'm just saying... why is there so much stuff just there, but does nothing?

There's at least 10 houses scattered around the map which can't be accessed. There's chests everywhere which also can't be accessed because either a rock or a peg is in the way, and the quest to get the hammer cannot be started.

It is infuriating to know I can see this... but can't reach it. It's like being given a present you cannot open because it is literally unopenable, but you can clearly hear there is something inside it.

If I ever figure out how to get there, I will release that secret... cause that's like kicking a person in the gut when they're down, if we can't even get a clue how to get there. All this stuff we wish we had, but won't be able to get for months or even years to come.  

top one I can confirm is useless, i got up there. theres no set warp so its useless, and so is the pyramid, ive been there. useless. the middle one is probably the same. also, the sign wont have any text on it, and if you try to get up there, you'll get warped. Honestly dude, you should just download the old maps and look around on them.

Seriously though, all of these are from the old map. Destiny was from the old map, and they brang it back. You know that door in southwest swamp? That used to lead to Babord I think.

I'd love to, but I'm on mobile.

I'm just saying, rather than teasing people's curiosity, they should just remove all the unused crap. I've been spending hours upon hours trying to get into or reach certain areas cause my curiosity is literally obsessed with knowing.

Nah, I'm pretty sure theyre working on Babord is what I heard. Plus the might bring back the old islands and stuff.  

I mean, if they serve no purpose, at least being able to reach it would be nice... rather than just seeing it.  

Rule number 1.
Don't have hopes and dreams  

You know that cave between deadwood and the golden gate?

That's where the alien spaceship used to be.  

that little hut in snowtown next to the two caves there used to be part of this sledding hill thing and that hut was how you got back up to snowtown.

I'm sure most of the stuff will be part of a quest someday depending on how much longer the server lasts.  

Guys don't make fun of him he has a point so many things just don't make sense but they existed on a old map and problay had a purpose but why are they still here that map was wiped. Graal seems like a simple game but in reality there is a conspiracy going on. Im going to use this for reference beware spoilers for xenoblade chronicles x such as why does the sun rises in the west but sets in the west as well or why does the planet have 5 moons but they don't rotate or why does gravity exist but floating islands and structures that should colaspe under their weight stand. Maybe in real life as well such as why do we exist where did the universe come from what is the point of life. This guy is on to something he's asking questions that people have denied or don't even care about if feels like something is against certain types of people like something is against observant people who ask questions I feel like this is much bigger like a conspiracy or something. Well all I know somebody is going to quote that crap I just said and make a conspiracy theory about it so ya.
