Can't play Graal at college.

Spirit19 · 08-25-2014

Ok, so I have 2 hour break between classes at the community college. So I figure why not play Graal. However when I tried I couldn't get on the game. It sat at the initial start-up screen and just sat there, like wtf. Is it a security thing or what?

EDIT: Actually come to think of it I can't play any online games. Darn.

That's a bummer.
My Graal Era doesn't even load on my MacBook, the other games(Zone, Classic) do though.

Yikes, that blows. On my college campus, all online games seem to work for me. I play Guild Wars 2 on-campus sometimes because there's a 7 hour gap between my classes, and my internet at home sucks.

But yes, on some campuses, they block certain types of websites. My high school before had a similar system for online games and social media sites.

You should invest into a VPN. I suggest www.proxy.sh

An alternative could be Hotspot Shield.

K12 covers most schools internet.they block blogs,games,forums,and anything not school related.at my school u can do anything appropriate, if u logged in to view a video thats inappropriate,the system will know.

Have you tried just contacting the network administrator?

Seeing as the game makes the connection to the game server, with the start screen displaying, it doesn't seem as if the network is blocking the ports. I don't know what the issue could be, however.

A VPN wont fix issues with the community college network not supporting the needed ports. They don't necessarily target block it, they just don't support it.

Luckily my college enables gaming. I got to play LoL with my friend during my break between classes

Tunnel your stuff through a socks proxy running on port 80

Same here, even right now I'm at school but Educational Public Wi-Fi doesn't allow online games.

XSTARX · 08-26-2014

That's what my friends told me when they saw the screen title.
They still call it Grail...

I've told nobody because I literally can't think of a more socially awkward situation than trying to pronounce Graal. I've never said it out loud.
