I think if you get banned for hacking, the system bans all the accounts associated with your wifi. It happened to me too, I got banned for a legit reason though so I can't really complain.

I was banned for door blocking in graal city where people can just walk through you. So i got on my 2nd account and mocked him/her for being a ******. He was stealth mode but i knew he/she was there. He/she banned me again then i got on my main account and called him a madafr and he/she gave me like a 2700 hr ban. The last one was legit but it was his/her actions that led to that point.

lol, man, I find it weird how people get banned for harassment. I've never been banned for staff harassment (or harassment in general). Like, I am the most rudest person in Graal, I'm so surprised lol. It's so weird cause I usually get muted or banned in other games (Runescape, CP or xbox). The old staff (referring to the staff 2 years ago) were not usually bothered by noobs who cuss at them. And if they banned you for harassment, its not a lengthy ban like 2700hrs - 3000hrs. I guess it's a new trend with the new admins. I really do think that they should hire people older than 15 years old though.. I just have a problem with 15 year olds running a big community.

I guess I'm a bit of a hypocrite cause I'm actually turning 15 this year

I know this is something that a stereotypical noob would say but, 2010 was the best year for staff imho. Right now there is just too many staff, and it is so easy to get hired now.


Stefan won't care about doesn't care about the current plethora staff and he probably won't care about the latter. Which will obviously be ****ty. PP

I want some of whatever your smoking.

1.How can there be to many staff when one of the largest complaints on here and in game that there is never staff on. Or an admin comes on here when some one drops a thread about their issue not getting dealt with and saying there isn't enough staff on to cover the volume of issues. IMO there should always be a minimum amount of staff that has to be on to handle issues. And if they can't meet that then there is not enough staff members to.

2.I can see how you would say it's so easy to get hired now as staff these days as it seems like every week there's a new random person as admin hosting an event. However I can assure you it is not. I myself and other friends of mine have applied more than once for gp positions and we all have over 1500 of online time and we haven't gotten hired. I have other friends who did get hired as admin who applied at least 3 times before they got the job.

Yet people like Thallen come on here and complain that some of the newly hired admins have very little in game experience or time. And I really don't understand that. I would think having a certain amount of online time should be a requirement to be able to get hired as an admin.

I know that online time is hard to judge because of all the idling/afking that goes on by people to jack up there hours so a slightly highish required hour time would be neccisary to weed out the cheap hour gainers. I would say maybe 2k hours Idk what that would break down to in terms of days or months but one would have to assume that most players in general would have gotten at least half the hours the old fashioned way by accumulating them during actual game play and not while they are sleeping.  

There are to many admins because when I ask an admin to do something for me they just pass me onto and another admin and so on... I asked the admins that told me to ask another admin "can you please transfer my account" the admin said "sorry I don't know how to do that." This proves it's so easy to get hired and u don't even know how to do stuff that all graal police should be able to do!

Doesnt the information center have a section that explains how to go about getting account transfers? Gp's are not hired to fix your problems at the snap of your fingers so STFU and go email graal online you knob.  

It was a specific type of account transfer that an admin could only do..

And i know admins can't fix my problems straight away but I thought it would take less than about 2 months which it nearly did not.  

If the system does ban all of the accounts associated with the same wifi, that is bogus. I have several siblings who would all suffer if one of the other siblings were to be banned. ;(  

Anybody else notice the #unbanThallen status's going around Graal these days?  

I've been unbanned since the day after I was banned, because I appealed
I just have 0 desire to play the game right now because I don't want to be constantly harassed and followed by newbie admins who aren't intelligent enough to do their job properly

can't stand in front of a doorway at a tower without some year-2012 preteen dressed as a koala bear telling you that you're "lag blocking"
can't streak 90 spars without a 20W-100L GP telling you that you are "unkillable"

Were you really disconnected while sparring?  

yeah
I also experience getting warped out of spars while streaking as well, I'll randomly get warped onto the square tile to the left of the nightclub in Graal City

my assumption is that people just angrily spam reports claiming that you are lagging, frozen in place, unhittable, or something of that nature, and eventually an admin gets tired of getting spammed by it and does something about it (despite the report being legit or not)

I don't really care if I get warped out of spars for winning too much or whatever, I can deal with that and it's flattering if nothing else, but getting banned for a week over doing something that isn't against the rules is stupid

I've been unbanned pretty much every time I've sent an appeal in, however (quoting the unban email):

We'll go ahead and unban it this time, but next time the ban will not be overturned.

the punishment basically carries over despite it being right or wrong  

another friend of mine, also a really good sparrer, was banned this morning for "game disruption" without any previous warning

there needs to be someone on the staff team that is capable of at least explaining things like lag, delay, lag blocking, etc. to these kids because they don't seem to understand the game and therefore can't possibly administrate it properly or know when a rule is being broken

if we're just going to start banning people based on the ignorant and angry complaints of others then let me know now so I can quit for a few months and maybe come back when there is a new staff team, otherwise I'll end up racking up so many unwarranted bans that my ban history itself will end up getting me permanently banned just like on PC Graal, sweet

the worst part is that these are all unwritten rules and it's all some BS grey area so getting away with these bans is probably easy

"he was lag blocking at a tower" but what if he wasn't lag blocking and you're just too stupid to understand that if you stay still while being hit your period of invincibility lasts longer
"he is lagging too badly in spars" but what if you're too stupid to know that it's 8PM EST with 3100 people online and the entire server is lagging

I don't understand why you would even ban people for these things when you could just warn or warp them then politely PM them explaining why you did it and work through the problem like an actual intelligent human being

Solution: don't be good  

it's Poppy who is doing all this full-****** banning, warping, and warning
she also apparently brags and chats casually about handing out these bans to players, which is the only reason I'm aware that it was her

not to make this personal or anything, but Poppy is a full-grown adult who should have a fully-developed brain at this point and if she isn't capable of intelligently administrating the game and making proper judgments at her age then get rid of her

if any of her friends would care to tell her to stay the hell out of interfering with matters in towers and spars until she understands the mechanics of the game like hit detection and so forth, I'd appreciate it
