Unixmad is a bit of a sleaze. I remember when my account was banned for credit card fraud about 14 - 16 years ago. It was before P2P was introduced on PC, but required to play on the gold servers. I had foolishly let a friend upgrade my account (I think to help him farm on G2K1). Well anyways after I was banned I received an email from him telling me that I would need to send him a new credit card or he would report me to the police. I was 13 - 14 so quite naive and did as he told thinking he was doing me a favor (in reality he was blackmailing me). Thankfully I bought an unlimited Classic subscription and never continued to support him. I've heard far, far, far more disturbing rumors about him, but I choose to believe they are fabricated. |

I've witnessed many many problems with graal, Things from glitches where people's accounts seem completely wiped and set to a noob account ( I know a person Erza who married someone and her account was erased it seems, she had no hats, hours, mounts . Anything. Luckily she reinstalled graal and signed back on and it came back, I also seen unfortunately some people who couldn't get thier account back). I've seen first hand people get banned for 0 valid reason, my friend golden got banned right beside me for hacking and cheating, when he was doing absolutely nothing at all but standing by me and pming me about school subjects. I even got banned myself 3x in a row with a 2k hour ban for the most bs reasons, saying I was sexual and other things when I was just farming. Among other things, I'd honestly would fire almost every current admin right now, The admins in graal are as good are horrible, they are honestly the some of the worst admins I've ever seen in any game, not the very worst. But pretty close to it. But they do have the worst support lab. Basically they don't even have a support section for help. Go figure. If I had the power to, I'd fire almost every admin. and hire some people who can actually do the most basic of task that my 7 yr old nephew is capable of. |

Haha, a friend linked me back to this saying that people were replying again. Since I made this post and in the year since I've had multiple friends telling me they've experienced similar problems, random bans/IP restrictions and a couple even telling me their e-mails have similarly become mysteriously unlinked from their accounts. Take that for what It's worth, but I'm just passing along the information people have told me. As I've found out since my ban, most of the older, more mature (higher) admins are actually trying to help and make the experience better for players. I've gotten a lot of attempts to help me from various people and some behind the scenes information and in my case, it seemed literally nobody had any idea why I was banned, nor would've wanted to ban me - that decision came from one person only (guess who). I'm glad for all the support I got from everybody over this and glad for the friends that I've made and still keep in contact with through the various Discords, etc. Stuff's been much more productive without this game, just hanging out, coding, working, etc. It's been fun and other games are more fun. I guess I should really just thank Unixmad for taking away my boring, mindless time sink forcing me to make 90% of my day productive instead of 30%. The day feels much better when I spend my day working towards my dream of being a game designer instead of half of it playing Graal, lol. Good luck to who's having account issues like mine, best I can tell you is what a higher up Graal admin who will remain unnamed told me: if you think you've made Unixmad angry somehow and that's caused your account issues, the best you can do is apologize and give him some kind of sob story and maybe he takes mercy.
