The Nostalgia's hitting me hard maan. Loved this game as a kid and made tons of friends that nowadays I just keep wondering if they are living a good life...
currently an graal player and have been for like 8 years now. although most of the old players quit, a huge wave of Portuguese players r here now , i’d say it’s still alive, and it still averages like 3000 players
@@lazieisnotdead So as far as I know you can only play Classic with mobile players. If you download the PC playerworlds client its a completely different experience.
hearing the theme was just so nostalgic, I remember a lot of people at the picnic i think and idle people at the arena. I also remember this one part of the map where everyone just kills eachother to raise kd. I am gonna download the game and let my childhood come back to me
Everyone I knew from the people I met starting out in this hame, first guild I created with them, to the 1k guilds I've helped lead left a year or two after the towering system got removed. I still remembered one of the iBall members who helped us tower, struggle to go online because of his engineering finals. He went on a week leave to prepare and never came back. Two of the people I met eventually met irl and somehow got engaged. They decided to quit after that. One of them I met irl and we still hang out somtimes and I guess we barely played by then. This game's main appeal is the player interaction and guilds is medium for that. Taking that away is akin to removing a portion of the fanbase. Don't get me wrong, I know that are still people who enjoy this game without it. It just sucks that a majority of people I met left because there were no incentives for those specific type of players. Much like what the other people say in this comment section, I just hope that all of them are doing well. It sucks but I guess it's just better to move on Edit: I played Graal Classic around Winter 2013
Yeah was a good time back then Then you also remember the Guild Venus Gospel with Astra and Zaxon or so. Yeah mobile classic was so alive back then. The communication with the community was better. People were better back then. Yeah there were toxic players here and there but back then it was easy to find a group of people and become really good friends nowadays its just buying cosmetic stuff and showing it off. The charm it had back then is totally gone and the new guys who own graal mobile are greedy. But iam happy that i had my childhood there so many hours of hours communicating and interacting with my virtual friends is a good memory that i like to think back to. Today is a day where i visited graalians the forum to look for old friends and messaged two. Last time i were there was in 2013 because thats the time i quitted with graal. Because i got my first girlfriend and somehow i just forgot about graal.
@@atocb8411 The historic moment when CoM got to 20k, Maphasy egoing so hard on everyone on swamp and york towers lol. Fang is such a savage. And SoN doing their own thing on castle. There are also other less known guilds like Unchained and Silent winds that were dominating everyone at one point when they were pushing for 1k hours. Man I miss the competition of guild towers. Today all you have to do is overwhelm the flag room with 50 people
Played iClassic in 2011, and quit years ago. I think it peaked around 2015 or 2016 where it got 2k-4k players daily, to the point where servers were very laggy. Had lots of fun. The main draw of it was hats and item collecting. Most of them are only sold once, so there are a LOT of rare hats and items, especially those old ones from milestone shops, like getting 40k kills. Tower hats are also extremely rare, and there are a lot of good ones. There was also a competitive scene with sparring. Lots of good players around that time. By the time I quit, I think sparring was kinda dying, with a lot of players quitting and moving on with life. Not only that, there were also the "explorer" group of people. The game's map was small, but that's just for show because you could use glitches to go out of bound off the map, and wayyyy back then, there were unreleased whole islands and cities that were out of bound, locked away from the public. iClassic's map is essentially the old PC client's Classic map that was copy and pasted onto the iClassic server. That map was huge. But only a few area was polished, so they released those while locking the rest behind rocks and blockades. The "explorer" group of people love to glitch offmap and find unreleased islands. They love calling those islands "Admin Island". Then when the game got released on Facebook as a browser game, people started using Cheat Engine to use wallhacks and easily go offmap. There's also another group that are "hackers". Those using Cheat Engine, or iFile to hack was mocked as script kiddies. There are people who actually logged onto iClassic using the PC client meant only for admins to use with tools like "Relay" and actually inject their own scripts and do crazy things on the server. That was a long, long time ago though. I really enjoyed my time on it. No idea how it is nowadays though. Sorry for the long comment, and thank you for reading if you made it this far. Seeing this game is a trip down memory lane.
Also remember playing iZone for a bit. 2013-2015 I think was when that game peaked. For a time, it was actually very bustling. It was very fun when they introduced ZC (Zone Coin) for the event shop, and trading. Events hosted by admins were actually a huge deal. Especially the ones where the rewards was the ability to choose ANY event hat.
My only experience on the PC Playerworld client was Unholy Nation. It was my favorite server. The map was HUGE, and fun to explore. There were LOTS of cool items and mechanics. I still remember running through that server and flying around. It was so fun.
2009 iOS player here. This game was my escape from reality. Made many friends and have fond memories of it. Wish it was still popular but all good things must come to an end.
Graal is still very much alive, at least on the mobile servers. The main four servers see constant updates. It's a small community, but it's always been like that.
What a nostalgia blast, man...I miss this game so much. So much of my childhood was spent on the PC client. Played Graal pretty much exclusively from 2003-2008 until it began to steadily decline after the release of the mobile client. I spent basically all of my time on Unholy Nation, but I dabbled on other servers here and there like Zodiac and Valikorlia, and even N-Pulse back when that was a thing. What I'd give to have that experience back. You have no idea. Thanks for this.
Back in the day I joined a guild called Fox on Graal Classic. It was an interesting guild, and lots of fun. We had wars against other Playworlds it was full out fun!1 Then when Unholy Natin became a thing I shifted over there, started my own guild Kingdom of Sparta and we wreaked havoc.. Then later I ended up disbanding it and joining the Incognito Family guild... The early 2000s was a golden age of online gaming.
Thank you for this video, Ive been an active graal player for around 7 years and found this video very interesting! I can definetly say there is a lot to come for the mobile servers and delteria is in active development to possibly become a mobile server in the near future.
Delteria is so freaking interesting I’d love to play with people but it’s literally at 0 players lol. The video I feel like I could have done more..but I just couldn’t find much
@@VagrantVideos I to be honest think your video is great, i didnt know a lot of the playerworlds and graalonline history you had in there and it all was well put. I personally don't think graal itself is dead because of our tight community and still continued development (mostly in the mobile games). Who knows what future has for graal, but lets hope for the best.
Literally my whole childhood. I found the game on y8 as a kid and fell in love immediately, the schools were packed the bases were always being raided and the events was the best part of the whole game. It's sad that the games dying, but man it sure affected my whole life being able to learn how to communicate, and work on my grammar as I used to be not fluid in English as it isn't my mother tongue. o7 Graal you were a great game.
This video was a massive wave of nostalgia, I played graal online a lot back in 2013-2015 and made a lot of friends and was in so many guilds, I still remember hitting 1k hours on castle with the guild Khan
i started playing in 2009 and im currently 19 so i must have been around 7 or 8. i genuinely grew up on the game, and probably stopped playing when i turned 13. i had so many good memories and its crazy how i can go on the game now and there's barely a trace of what the game used to be like. graal classic still gets a lot of content, and i remember when everyone migrated to era, zone and even olwest because it got boring so i think it's really ironic how its the most active today. i really wish i could play on my old account, i was too young to understand how identification worked when it got introduced and i lost everything lol
i remember the days going into lobbys and collecting everyones loaded files. because anytime you had to load a world it loaded everyones skins. so you could go into files search for their stuff. then go into the clothing shop in person worlds. and i always made a calico kitten with angel wings, and i rolled hard around in the monkey ball bubble with a ban hammer and the sniper. shit was so fun. then i finally bought a car and a paintball gun. god i miss that game so much. last time i tried playing it they had gotten rid of that open file source and made it basically a paid program to unlock skins to use.
Hey Vagrant, I was a developer for the server Zodiac. The dev team that I worked with got burnt out at the lack of support for the PC version as well as feeling like the game model has slowly begun to degrade and date over time. It felt like we were putting in a lot of effort for little payout and with nowhere else to go really, which is why it was abandoned by the dev team I worked with. I hope one day to create a proper spiritual successor to Graal Zodiac. :)
@@VagrantVideos It is still active and the dev tea. Is focusing on shifting it to mobile atm, where crossplay with PC is possible aswell. There are still frequent updates every few days with the last one being a Valentines Dungeon event wich was added a few hours ago also the "Runeprowler" Class unlock has been completely overhauled aswell. :)
@@VagrantVideos The dev team responsible for a lot of the modern updates like the Dragoon rework, Runeprowler overhaul and adding Necromancer as a base class left. There are new developers yes, but the 2012-2016 era devs have all left.
bro zodiac literally has the best gameplay out of all graal games. If it was refined i'm pretty sure it'll surpass Era in quality if not in popularity.
The nostalgia, I must of played the first version back in the day because I don't remember a fee ever. I remember I used to mostly sit in a forest bar on the south side of the map just chatting with people. I don't know why I just randomly thought about this game again and had to look it up.
Part of the PC version's downfall can be linked to aggressive manipulation and neglect behind the scenes, including but not limited to stealing code and refusing to compensate people for their work as the game relied on clueless children to make the product essentially by working for free. I couldn't begin to explain the corruption by the games administration. I was a dev and long time player on the Valikorlia server since like the early 2000's before I was banned from the entire platform around 2017. I had one of those grandfathered accounts that were b2p rather than a subscription which is partially why I stuck around as long as i did. I smarted off about Unixmad (the game's owner and overall scumbag) on another server and probably got axed for it. The game was rife with malware that even read your key inputs too. Regardless, by then the community was already slowly distancing itself from Graal as the mobile version made it clear we had no future on the platform but I still have feelings of longing over it. The Graal I knew is long dead.
Yeah man this game was hella fun back then. Even iclassic in 2010 we were glitching out of maps lol. Nostalgia led me back to the forums i looked for people i knew and found two.I even had my own pc graal server back then.
Graal online a game that i used to paly when i was a child i didn't understand what to do but the shapes and the game was an amazing thing added to my memories i don't lie when i say i was looking for this game over 2 years and just today i found it :)
I feel old...I remember it being named Zelda Online... I spent so many days online on different servers (before it was P2P...), even trying to make my own server for some time...
I became pretty inactive around 2019 despite the quality of some mounts and morphs increasing a lot in Classic. At that point I almost had 100 mounts and 80 morphs, so there was really no point anymore as the feeling of having a lot of items wasn't anything special at that point. I had used a lot of money to buy gralats because grinding wasn't something I liked to do, although I did farm around 15k once by using PC, since on an older mobile device the game would lag a lot and freeze. But then one day they had to abandon Flash and switch to Webgl (or/and Unity), which destroyed a lot of old accounts that had the same email like this one guy, who really liked collecting mounts on multiple accounts and ended up losing all but 1 account. He did contact support, emailed them but no answer DESPITE the accounts still having a database as you could still click and see his status on a statue furniture item. The WebGL also made Graal PC absolutely atrocious to play, so anyone playing on PC would, for example be at a clear disadvantage while fighting SPAR players in a tournament. Then around 2020 they completely changed the farming system, so that you could only farm 2500g a day and now other people couldn't farm for you inside your houses nor could you unlock your gralats and give them to other players. This absolutely destroyed the giveaway community even though some do gift cards they can be banned for "scamming". This also murdered the people who collect balloons and food, and young gfx artists couldn't be paid in gralats. The farming limit itself doesn't really make any sense because there isn't really an ingame economy. Oh wait, yes there is this 1 thing. An auction house that a player can submit 1 hat into... with only about 9-14 hat stands and 1 auction per week. Sure a player could at max farm 18k in 7 days (if we do not count hours of diving for loot or 7 days of 1k bounty) but then on the auction day people most likely pay over 50-100k or 1 million gralats for a hat and those folk are usually the ones who most likely bought gralats, making auction house mostly for the older players or collectors, P2W basically. Another problem is the lack of rewards for towering or there being less and less of towers to take over, so it's more likely that there'll be only 3 guilds with a strong hold on their towers with 1st guild taking 2 and the other guild taking the other 2 and the 3rd taking the last one. The gameplay itself has never been Graal's most engaging thing after all, where the minority farms/spars/towers/collects, which does make the game a glorified chatbox with extra features. 2016 for me was the prime of roleplaying with tons of English speakers pretending to be in school or being adopted into a family from the Daycare or people ordering a meal in Burger Refuge or willingly getting themselves put in a cell. But then the military guilds rised in 2016 along with the anti-Graal baby movement and all chose Daycare, the most popular hangout spot to influence young kids and teens. To be honest I stopped roleplaying there a bit before the military stuff but you do hear about it if you ask people abour what happened there.
i remember i had to be like 13 at the time, me and the bois would pretend we were like knights and we would pvp with a bunch of guys who played as ninjas and we would have wars it was like rp but better. man i miss those days
It feels like classic is dying...am currently playing it and welp its still toxic as shit.... codes shops and fashion shows are dead. they kill the farming system to stop people from using auto clickers. then they put limits in farming and put a spawn bot wasp which is an overkill. staff management and they are all just run by kids....
This game was a huge part of my childhood.. Maloria back in 2004 especially. I wish I could relive it sometimes. So sad to see it in its current state.
I played Graal back when it came out for several years. I miss it. I play on UN Volcom (BTK) was my name. I wish It never died and my cousin and I have been searching for another game that feels like Graal ever since. The mobile version doesn't touch the surface to a comparison to pc
Just to let everyone know I was the one who made the Falcone Mafia in the server graal era since it was actually my last name irl, I still go back to era just for nastalgia even though most of my members quit the game and I love how they added battle royal but sadly the game is already dying so it won't really help also the fact that admins are corrupt and everything is very none new player friendly! If any of you where in my gang how's life? I remember when astro bar was very popular and everyone danced to everyday I'm shuffling! Hahaha good memories!
this gives me nostalgia because i used to play this on pc back when im still gradeschool rn im on college and i started on graal zone and later on transfer to graal classic it was really good back then but sadly some of my friends stop playing so i stop playing as well but i was glad to be part of the community!❤️
I went by JinPayne on PC, played for nearly 20 years on and off. Graal was the best gaming experience I ever had and still come back every now and again to chat with the few remaining old friends that still play. It's a shame they didn't push this game harder. It could've been the best.
I’m just thankful I was able to play Graal Zone before the new devs came in an screwed it all up. Started with classic and it led me to all the others. Wish they can bring it back alive one day.
this is my childhood game and god i wish it got super popular i played lots of graal classic so so much i hope it gets popular again and doesnt become a dead gem
I played and did development and staffing on the player world 'Maloria' through v3 and v4 as Apendix, was a great time back then and taught some good skills and gave me a great group of friends at the time online. I quit during college and during that time Maloria kind of went into full time development and never really came out of it.
Holy shit guys idk if you remember me but my account was XxBlackBlindxX. I played Maloria before there were levels and classes, and was there until the server got pulled because of the new version that was never released. I remember having a Level 63 Scout with Ancient Katars, playing with Nate (bioboi) who was the highest level in the game at 80 because he always won Nation Wars and kept purchasing EXP books. I remember all the OGs like Phantom, Jason, Sunny, Godsyde, etc... makes me so sad to think back on all of it and not even be able to revisit the server. In 2006 I believe, I moved over to Zodiac and met up with Sunny again and all those guys helped me get started out. I ended up making the first Defense build with a full set of Damask of Protection gear on a pure Warrior build. With Phalanx + Shield Wall skills, I was the first to take 0 damage from literally everybody which was during a huge Nation War. That was back when the max level was 50 and Warrior's final skill was Cleave. But that set the stage for big party farming once Pyramids came out and new gear beyond Damask was available. Zodiac used to be so fun, with new gear and classes being released every so often. I forget the guy's name but he kept hacking in as a Zodiac dev/GM and made all sorts of improvements that were typically straight from player feedback until Stefan finally figured out how to perma ban him lol. Such good times. I wish they paid more attention to the PC version instead of mobile version, it was way more fun and satisfying.
Wow 20 years ago. Crazy. i started in like 2007 or so. Then i switched to IClassic i even got a server for 1 year just for fun. LAT and Scripting, nothing serious. But unfortunally i am to old to play that game and i had no time for that anymore, and so i quitted. I remember seeing screenshots from the old delteria forums posts made back in 2002. Was a good time tho. Iam sad that i cant live that again. i had so many friends there. now i only know 2 people that may be active. one guy even was lat on my server and was hired by delteria back then in 2011 or so but idk what happend to delteria. they wanted to release it on apple and android but i think this dream is gone.
I’ve played GRAAL I assume since 2014, I had so much progress sadly my email got deleted. I recently got back on theres not many english speakers and even then it isn’t crowded like how it used to be. It makes me sad but the nostalgia makes me happy. :)
Oh man. Valikorlia was the playerworld I spent the most time on as a kid. It went through SO many changes over the years. It was originally like a standard RP server, where players were expected to stay in character all the time. After Gold launched, they implemented an actual RPG stat system and incorporated some of the ideas from that (different weapons with different stances, for example). At some point, they managed to get it working as a turn-based RPG! Kinda weird to see that it's evolved into some sort of text-based adventure.
Haha this game. I originally brought Valikorlia to Graal which was made by Drakaden, although renamed it later to Kharlia. I also made Providence which died after I left for a bit and put others in charge (they broke the system I made). I was Tyne Rubeus.
Lowkey used to LOVE this game. I played UN, NPulse, Maloria, and more. My name was Laren. Granted I was a little kid lmao but I played this from 8 years old and onwards. I am now well into my 20s. I was glad I found it again around 2012-13. UN was still going then. No where near compared to when it would be 500+ ppl on a server. Miss those days, man.
@@VagrantVideos it's crazy to me that you remember the game so fondly but don't remember maloria! but that's fine there were a few distinct eras in the game's history.
I played back in 1999, I remember being very upset when they introduced the ap system and the network latency when they added the npc server. The golden age of graal for me was classic with sparring, guilds (I remember Knights of Valour and…was it Baddies?). The other hilarious part was before the npc server you could hack with memory editors, editing your coordinates, flags and at one point even item scripting. Super fun, I keep waiting for a fan revival of classic but it’s not happening lol.
Played this from not long after it started through 02 I loved it and it was def niche but always felt so busy. But i think since the addition of so many servers/versions and other mmos along with issues with staff and such it was easy to see its decline. The og classic being solo offline as well as mmo was great, I miss it.
@@VagrantVideos by the time mobile games really came around it was dead lol. I dont see what it copied from,mobile games in the most recent incarnations bc it looks like they stripped everything from it and theres nothing to do now.
I useto own Mithica my name was Holycarp. I was using a Compaq Pressario 5000, which had like 128mb of ram and 10gb HD. Pretty sure I still had napster installed at the time...those were the days, R.I.P 2001 you are missed, lol
Such a weird but good time Graal was. Classic had a crazy story and I loved just how much exploration was rewarded and how there really wasn't much of a cap for hp as time went on. that and bowling was weirdly fun. Era was great when the internet wasn't poop, heh. I never managed to save up more than 1k tho, people are deadly. sword deflection helped though. Feels weird to me now that many requirements to join guilds was a minimum of 100 hours of playtime q.q such a different time. I think Maloria may have been a fun player server for a time? had some fun leveling mechanics.
After reading comments, yeah, it was a weird and crazy time. Is where I learned the difference between white and black hat hackers. On another note, every hear of byond? I don't know if it ever had an og game, but there are definitely many user created worlds/games within
i played it also like 6 years ago maybe..i had like 2500+ hours on Facebook and binded it to my email.. but when i enter the email. it says it doesn't exist that's why I lost motivation to play again
Kingdoms was just reset in last few days for what we'd like to believe is the final time. Don't get me wrong, I'm not offended that you'd call it dead. There are currently 13 players online which is still nothing, but better than the 2 that it would have for the longest time. It's sad to see a game that was so popular (a few hundred players isn't that much but still) just fall into obscurity. I started playing back in somewhere around 2003 as a trial and then a very kind friend I met in-game gifted me a p2p account that I still use today. I'm gonna try to check into Kingdoms more now that everyone's starting off fresh. I was on UN primarily, but played GK sometimes as well, but then making the switch fully when UN got hacked and was on life support until they completely took it down. Anyway. I appreciate the coverage of Graal, it was interesting to watch.
@@VagrantVideos I don't know if there's a mobile version, is there? Anyway, I'm talking about the PC version. And no, it's not in beta. It's had issues with various things, some of which I don't know or can't explain. But they decided to wipe the server and everyone started fresh to try to revamp the server and rebalance the economy. As for it being hard to understand, I could see that being the case for someone playing for the first time. I enjoy it though for the most part. I'm a casual player though, I'm not super good or rich or anything.
@@VagrantVideos There's a lot of evidence behind the pedo claims but I'd have to compile stuff together and link you. It makes for some fascinating research tbh

I have played Graalonline Delteria since 2010 to 2014, then moved on to Ol'West the newst graal game to date. Still play it. I can say graal games ain't really dead. People still play it.
Roblox and Minecraft probably equal like 1/3 of the entire gaming community - crazy that "make the game yourself" is like the most popular genre of game. Love the "Joueour" joke haha. Also #freemelee I'd never heard of this game!
Oh man this hits hard... I played Graal for a couple of years in the late early 2000s, nearly 20 years ago. It makes you wonder what happened to all the people I played with all those years... I'm in my 30s now and life has changed so much since these early innocent internet days. If anyone still cares: I mainly played (New) Atlantis and Classic :) Atlantis was a German server with a rather big community, we even had multiple real life meet-ups at one point. IIRC I was one of the first people to get 10k player kills... crazy how much time I invested in this game. Anyway I figure the German scene is long dead. I don't think Graal can be revived for PC. It now feels like an anachronism. I think most people that feel nostalgia for Graal are in their 30s or maybe even 40s now.... and younger people have so much more high quality options wrt. online videogames. No need for a janky outdated zelda clone.
You should look into the games management. I would love to see an in depth video, i blame graal's death soley on how it was management cassic being one of the saddest examples.
Unfortunately i don’t think I’d have the resources to find all that information, it was hard enough to find most of this! Small games like this usually have REALLY poor documentation
I remember Graal from many years ago, but I never got in to it beyond maybe a dozen sessions. I was much more in to science fantasy games back then, so Graal's world didn't appeal to me at the time.
I've been away from the game for 1 year, and it's crazy how the player count jump from 1000-1500 to 400-750 in just a year. It's painful really... What about next year? Is there gonna a *next* year?
What else should we cover on the channel?
Underrated channel.

Yeah was a good time back then
Then you also remember the Guild Venus Gospel with Astra and Zaxon or so.
Yeah mobile classic was so alive back then. The communication with the community was better. People were better back then. Yeah there were toxic players here and there but back then it was easy to find a group of people and become really good friends nowadays its just buying cosmetic stuff and showing it off. The charm it had back then is totally gone and the new guys who own graal mobile are greedy.
But iam happy that i had my childhood there so many hours of hours communicating and interacting with my virtual friends is a good memory that i like to think back to.
Today is a day where i visited graalians the forum to look for old friends and messaged two.
Last time i were there was in 2013 because thats the time i quitted with graal. Because i got my first girlfriend and somehow i just forgot about graal.
@@atocb8411 The historic moment when CoM got to 20k, Maphasy egoing so hard on everyone on swamp and york towers lol. Fang is such a savage. And SoN doing their own thing on castle. There are also other less known guilds like Unchained and Silent winds that were dominating everyone at one point when they were pushing for 1k hours. Man I miss the competition of guild towers. Today all you have to do is overwhelm the flag room with 50 people
Graal Online crawled so Roblox could run.
Zelda crawled so Zelda can run oh wai-
Roblox is really old
Also roblox is older then graal so that analogy doesn’t work
@@XiaoIsMyHusbandBTW graal came out in 1997 🤦🏾
Roblox is 15y old
@@oprdagreat8151 oh ok, graal still was never as popular as roblox
Played iClassic in 2011, and quit years ago. I think it peaked around 2015 or 2016 where it got 2k-4k players daily, to the point where servers were very laggy. Had lots of fun. The main draw of it was hats and item collecting. Most of them are only sold once, so there are a LOT of rare hats and items, especially those old ones from milestone shops, like getting 40k kills. Tower hats are also extremely rare, and there are a lot of good ones. There was also a competitive scene with sparring. Lots of good players around that time. By the time I quit, I think sparring was kinda dying, with a lot of players quitting and moving on with life.
Not only that, there were also the "explorer" group of people. The game's map was small, but that's just for show because you could use glitches to go out of bound off the map, and wayyyy back then, there were unreleased whole islands and cities that were out of bound, locked away from the public. iClassic's map is essentially the old PC client's Classic map that was copy and pasted onto the iClassic server. That map was huge. But only a few area was polished, so they released those while locking the rest behind rocks and blockades. The "explorer" group of people love to glitch offmap and find unreleased islands. They love calling those islands "Admin Island". Then when the game got released on Facebook as a browser game, people started using Cheat Engine to use wallhacks and easily go offmap.
There's also another group that are "hackers". Those using Cheat Engine, or iFile to hack was mocked as script kiddies. There are people who actually logged onto iClassic using the PC client meant only for admins to use with tools like "Relay" and actually inject their own scripts and do crazy things on the server.
That was a long, long time ago though. I really enjoyed my time on it. No idea how it is nowadays though.
Sorry for the long comment, and thank you for reading if you made it this far. Seeing this game is a trip down memory lane.
Also remember playing iZone for a bit. 2013-2015 I think was when that game peaked. For a time, it was actually very bustling. It was very fun when they introduced ZC (Zone Coin) for the event shop, and trading. Events hosted by admins were actually a huge deal. Especially the ones where the rewards was the ability to choose ANY event hat.
My only experience on the PC Playerworld client was Unholy Nation. It was my favorite server. The map was HUGE, and fun to explore. There were LOTS of cool items and mechanics. I still remember running through that server and flying around. It was so fun.
2009 iOS player here. This game was my escape from reality. Made many friends and have fond memories of it. Wish it was still popular but all good things must come to an end.
Graal is still very much alive, at least on the mobile servers. The main four servers see constant updates. It's a small community, but it's always been like that.
No argue against the game being very much alive on that front
Most of dead server it’s zone :DDDDDDD
What a nostalgia blast, man...I miss this game so much. So much of my childhood was spent on the PC client. Played Graal pretty much exclusively from 2003-2008 until it began to steadily decline after the release of the mobile client.
I spent basically all of my time on Unholy Nation, but I dabbled on other servers here and there like Zodiac and Valikorlia, and even N-Pulse back when that was a thing.
What I'd give to have that experience back. You have no idea.
Thanks for this.
Zodiac I spent over 400 hours or so on and one of my best friends spent like 1k. We stayed up all night so many times playing that game
@@VagrantVideos Same but with UN. Literally thousands of hours spent on that server. Wish it hadn't been nuked.
I wish Baal finished the freaking Final Fantasy mini game he was working on! Ugh that turn based combat was so good
Back in the day I joined a guild called Fox on Graal Classic. It was an interesting guild, and lots of fun. We had wars against other Playworlds it was full out fun!1 Then when Unholy Natin became a thing I shifted over there, started my own guild Kingdom of Sparta and we wreaked havoc.. Then later I ended up disbanding it and joining the Incognito Family guild... The early 2000s was a golden age of online gaming.
Thank you for this video, Ive been an active graal player for around 7 years and found this video very interesting! I can definetly say there is a lot to come for the mobile servers and delteria is in active development to possibly become a mobile server in the near future.
Delteria is so freaking interesting I’d love to play with people but it’s literally at 0 players lol.
The video I feel like I could have done more..but I just couldn’t find much
@@VagrantVideos I to be honest think your video is great, i didnt know a lot of the playerworlds and graalonline history you had in there and it all was well put. I personally don't think graal itself is dead because of our tight community and still continued development (mostly in the mobile games). Who knows what future has for graal, but lets hope for the best.
Literally my whole childhood. I found the game on y8 as a kid and fell in love immediately, the schools were packed the bases were always being raided and the events was the best part of the whole game. It's sad that the games dying, but man it sure affected my whole life being able to learn how to communicate, and work on my grammar as I used to be not fluid in English as it isn't my mother tongue. o7 Graal you were a great game.
This video was a massive wave of nostalgia, I played graal online a lot back in 2013-2015 and made a lot of friends and was in so many guilds, I still remember hitting 1k hours on castle with the guild Khan
lemonhead
Damn, this hits hard because i used to play this when i was wayy younger.
Same nostalgia hurts
Wow surprised I didn't hear about this game growing up. Wish I did
You can still jump in!
i started playing in 2009 and im currently 19 so i must have been around 7 or 8. i genuinely grew up on the game, and probably stopped playing when i turned 13. i had so many good memories and its crazy how i can go on the game now and there's barely a trace of what the game used to be like. graal classic still gets a lot of content, and i remember when everyone migrated to era, zone and even olwest because it got boring so i think it's really ironic how its the most active today. i really wish i could play on my old account, i was too young to understand how identification worked when it got introduced and i lost everything lol
i remember the days going into lobbys and collecting everyones loaded files. because anytime you had to load a world it loaded everyones skins. so you could go into files search for their stuff. then go into the clothing shop in person worlds. and i always made a calico kitten with angel wings, and i rolled hard around in the monkey ball bubble with a ban hammer and the sniper. shit was so fun. then i finally bought a car and a paintball gun. god i miss that game so much. last time i tried playing it they had gotten rid of that open file source and made it basically a paid program to unlock skins to use.
Hey Vagrant, I was a developer for the server Zodiac. The dev team that I worked with got burnt out at the lack of support for the PC version as well as feeling like the game model has slowly begun to degrade and date over time. It felt like we were putting in a lot of effort for little payout and with nowhere else to go really, which is why it was abandoned by the dev team I worked with. I hope one day to create a proper spiritual successor to Graal Zodiac. :)
Zodiac stopped development? Last time I played a couple months ago it was still going!
@@VagrantVideos It is still active and the dev tea. Is focusing on shifting it to mobile atm, where crossplay with PC is possible aswell. There are still frequent updates every few days with the last one being a Valentines Dungeon event wich was added a few hours ago also the "Runeprowler" Class unlock has been completely overhauled aswell. :)
@@VagrantVideos The dev team responsible for a lot of the modern updates like the Dragoon rework, Runeprowler overhaul and adding Necromancer as a base class left. There are new developers yes, but the 2012-2016 era devs have all left.
@@VagrantVideos The amount of information that I've been getting just from the comment section alone is amazing! Glad that you made this video
bro zodiac literally has the best gameplay out of all graal games. If it was refined i'm pretty sure it'll surpass Era in quality if not in popularity.
Graal used to be my favorite game when I was little, I tried to play it again just to find out that it's basically dead.
Me too :/ it doesn’t feel fun as it was years ago
The nostalgia, I must of played the first version back in the day because I don't remember a fee ever. I remember I used to mostly sit in a forest bar on the south side of the map just chatting with people. I don't know why I just randomly thought about this game again and had to look it up.
Part of the PC version's downfall can be linked to aggressive manipulation and neglect behind the scenes, including but not limited to stealing code and refusing to compensate people for their work as the game relied on clueless children to make the product essentially by working for free. I couldn't begin to explain the corruption by the games administration. I was a dev and long time player on the Valikorlia server since like the early 2000's before I was banned from the entire platform around 2017. I had one of those grandfathered accounts that were b2p rather than a subscription which is partially why I stuck around as long as i did. I smarted off about Unixmad (the game's owner and overall scumbag) on another server and probably got axed for it. The game was rife with malware that even read your key inputs too. Regardless, by then the community was already slowly distancing itself from Graal as the mobile version made it clear we had no future on the platform but I still have feelings of longing over it.
The Graal I knew is long dead.
See stuff like this could never be found in a wiki article. Crazy events.
Do you believe the game still has malware? I installed the client on my PC recently lol
This is honestly the best summation of this game I have ever seen and it is incredibly accurate.
And under like 10 mins!
Yeah man this game was hella fun back then.
Even iclassic in 2010 we were glitching out of maps lol.
Nostalgia led me back to the forums i looked for people i knew and found two.I even had my own pc graal server back then.
Graal online a game that i used to paly when i was a child i didn't understand what to do but the shapes and the game was an amazing thing added to my memories i don't lie when i say i was looking for this game over 2 years and just today i found it :)
Good find right?? Lol
@@VagrantVideos Yes because i've found the perfect channel to describe my childhood
coming back from school at 19pm just to finally farm in vip felt amazing
I feel old...I remember it being named Zelda Online... I spent so many days online on different servers (before it was P2P...), even trying to make my own server for some time...
Did the same thing, tried having a gui like kingdom hearts for an rpg server lol
Wow around 2014-2015 is when I joined and I was in elementary. The game was my childhood and I loved it. I met so many people on there.
Same it was my game in high school with my buddy Seth
same
I became pretty inactive around 2019 despite the quality of some mounts and morphs increasing a lot in Classic. At that point I almost had 100 mounts and 80 morphs, so there was really no point anymore as the feeling of having a lot of items wasn't anything special at that point.
I had used a lot of money to buy gralats because grinding wasn't something I liked to do, although I did farm around 15k once by using PC, since on an older mobile device the game would lag a lot and freeze.
But then one day they had to abandon Flash and switch to Webgl (or/and Unity), which destroyed a lot of old accounts that had the same email like this one guy, who really liked collecting mounts on multiple accounts and ended up losing all but 1 account. He did contact support, emailed them but no answer DESPITE the accounts still having a database as you could still click and see his status on a statue furniture item. The WebGL also made Graal PC absolutely atrocious to play, so anyone playing on PC would, for example be at a clear disadvantage while fighting SPAR players in a tournament.
Then around 2020 they completely changed the farming system, so that you could only farm 2500g a day and now other people couldn't farm for you inside your houses nor could you unlock your gralats and give them to other players. This absolutely destroyed the giveaway community even though some do gift cards they can be banned for "scamming". This also murdered the people who collect balloons and food, and young gfx artists couldn't be paid in gralats.
The farming limit itself doesn't really make any sense because there isn't really an ingame economy. Oh wait, yes there is this 1 thing. An auction house that a player can submit 1 hat into... with only about 9-14 hat stands and 1 auction per week. Sure a player could at max farm 18k in 7 days (if we do not count hours of diving for loot or 7 days of 1k bounty) but then on the auction day
people most likely pay over 50-100k or 1 million gralats for a hat and those folk are usually the ones who most likely bought gralats, making auction house mostly for the older players or collectors, P2W basically.
Another problem is the lack of rewards for towering or there being less and less of towers to take over, so it's more likely that there'll be only 3 guilds with a strong hold on their towers with 1st guild taking 2 and the other guild taking the other 2 and the 3rd taking the last one.
The gameplay itself has never been Graal's most engaging thing after all, where the minority farms/spars/towers/collects, which does make the game a glorified chatbox with extra features. 2016 for me was the prime of roleplaying with tons of English speakers pretending to be in school or being adopted into a family from the Daycare or people ordering a meal in Burger Refuge or willingly getting themselves put in a cell. But then the military guilds rised in 2016 along with the anti-Graal baby movement and all chose Daycare, the most popular hangout spot to influence young kids and teens. To be honest I stopped roleplaying there a bit before the military stuff but you do hear about it if you ask people abour what happened there.
lol they nerfed the farming.
thats greedy asf because the farming grinding was tedious before that so why nerfing it.
Disgusting.
excuse me this made me tear up :,)
i remember i had to be like 13 at the time, me and the bois would pretend we were like knights and we would pvp with a bunch of guys who played as ninjas and we would have wars it was like rp but better. man i miss those days
Bro everytime i see one of the items from the game i always remember the times i spent with this game, it was so beautiful..
I had just started playing Graal Classic (on mobile) again, and any time I logged in there would be around 700-900 players. This made me sad
It feels like classic is dying...am currently playing it and welp its still toxic as shit.... codes shops and fashion shows are dead. they kill the farming system to stop people from using auto clickers. then they put limits in farming and put a spawn bot wasp which is an overkill. staff management and they are all just run by kids....
Thats the mobile market unfortunately
This game was a huge part of my childhood.. Maloria back in 2004 especially. I wish I could relive it sometimes. So sad to see it in its current state.
Eyyy! I used to develop on a few of the old playerworlds. Valikorlia, Maloria, and N-Pulse were my jam back in the day.
Era is so dead now. The afk area used to be PACKED. Club Astro, and Spar were packed too. Now there are barely any people in these areas
It usually hovers around like 30-50 people last I saw which isn’t a huge amount
@@VagrantVideos It's basically empty now, I enter once in a while and no one is there usually. Maybe one or two afk people but no one else :cries:
I remember this game the memories 😞 I also met someone on graal and we were really good friends one day she stopped playing and so did I
Aww I had a gf from MapleStory, so I know that feeling!
I played Graal back when it came out for several years. I miss it. I play on UN
Volcom (BTK) was my name. I wish It never died and my cousin and I have been searching for another game that feels like Graal ever since. The mobile version doesn't touch the surface to a comparison to pc
Just to let everyone know I was the one who made the Falcone Mafia in the server graal era since it was actually my last name irl, I still go back to era just for nastalgia even though most of my members quit the game and I love how they added battle royal but sadly the game is already dying so it won't really help also the fact that admins are corrupt and everything is very none new player friendly! If any of you where in my gang how's life? I remember when astro bar was very popular and everyone danced to everyday I'm shuffling! Hahaha good memories!
this gives me nostalgia because i used to play this on pc back when im still gradeschool rn im on college and i started on graal zone and later on transfer to graal classic it was really good back then but sadly some of my friends stop playing so i stop playing as well but i was glad to be part of the community!❤️
Zodiac is still my favorite to this day
I went by JinPayne on PC, played for nearly 20 years on and off. Graal was the best gaming experience I ever had and still come back every now and again to chat with the few remaining old friends that still play. It's a shame they didn't push this game harder. It could've been the best.
I’m just thankful I was able to play Graal Zone before the new devs came in an screwed it all up. Started with classic and it led me to all the others. Wish they can bring it back alive one day.
this is my childhood game and god i wish it got super popular i played lots of graal classic so so much i hope it gets popular again and doesnt become a dead gem
Thanks man ! I hear information about the game I play almost every day ! Keep up the good work and happy holidays!
Thanks man! I tried to give this game some light!

@@VagrantVideos I subbed
@@Chuy._ thanks man, ya I’m small so I doubt it will get an uptick in population lol
Man when I was a kid I had so many stuff on Graal Ol'west and I loved it
I played and did development and staffing on the player world 'Maloria' through v3 and v4 as Apendix, was a great time back then and taught some good skills and gave me a great group of friends at the time online. I quit during college and during that time Maloria kind of went into full time development and never really came out of it.
Maloria is the RP server or was it another rpg server like Zodiac?
Holy shit guys idk if you remember me but my account was XxBlackBlindxX.
I played Maloria before there were levels and classes, and was there until the server got pulled because of the new version that was never released. I remember having a Level 63 Scout with Ancient Katars, playing with Nate (bioboi) who was the highest level in the game at 80 because he always won Nation Wars and kept purchasing EXP books. I remember all the OGs like Phantom, Jason, Sunny, Godsyde, etc... makes me so sad to think back on all of it and not even be able to revisit the server. In 2006 I believe, I moved over to Zodiac and met up with Sunny again and all those guys helped me get started out. I ended up making the first Defense build with a full set of Damask of Protection gear on a pure Warrior build. With Phalanx + Shield Wall skills, I was the first to take 0 damage from literally everybody which was during a huge Nation War. That was back when the max level was 50 and Warrior's final skill was Cleave. But that set the stage for big party farming once Pyramids came out and new gear beyond Damask was available. Zodiac used to be so fun, with new gear and classes being released every so often. I forget the guy's name but he kept hacking in as a Zodiac dev/GM and made all sorts of improvements that were typically straight from player feedback until Stefan finally figured out how to perma ban him lol. Such good times. I wish they paid more attention to the PC version instead of mobile version, it was way more fun and satisfying.
@@VagrantVideos It was an rpg server, predating Zodiac.
I played on the Delteria server 20 years ago. Thanks for making this.
Also played on the server Enigma
Wow 20 years ago. Crazy.
i started in like 2007 or so. Then i switched to IClassic i even got a server for 1 year just for fun. LAT and Scripting, nothing serious. But unfortunally i am to old to play that game and i had no time for that anymore, and so i quitted.
I remember seeing screenshots from the old delteria forums
posts made back in 2002.
Was a good time tho.
Iam sad that i cant live that again.
i had so many friends there. now i only know 2 people that may be active. one guy even was lat on my server and was hired by delteria back then in 2011 or so but idk what happend to delteria. they wanted to release it on apple and android but i think this dream is gone.
I’ve played GRAAL I assume since 2014, I had so much progress sadly my email got deleted. I recently got back on theres not many english speakers and even then it isn’t crowded like how it used to be. It makes me sad but the nostalgia makes me happy. :)
I really miss my friend, we promise each other to meet in real life ig thats not gonna happen.
What was your name?
@@jwooldridge idk, I change my name a lot in game
I was obsessed with this game when I was in middle school.
I played it in 2009 and dropped it in 2018 because of GTA 5 roleplay but sometimes I would play it to remind me of my childhood
I came back searching so desperately today, bec i remember back in the day coming home to play on my windows 7 pc 😭😭😭
Oh man. Valikorlia was the playerworld I spent the most time on as a kid. It went through SO many changes over the years. It was originally like a standard RP server, where players were expected to stay in character all the time. After Gold launched, they implemented an actual RPG stat system and incorporated some of the ideas from that (different weapons with different stances, for example). At some point, they managed to get it working as a turn-based RPG! Kinda weird to see that it's evolved into some sort of text-based adventure.
WAIT WHAT??? Turn based????? I would have fricking loved that!! bane never finished UNHOLY NATIONS rpg thing
Man I loved this game, it's actually on of the influences for my own game development.
Haha this game. I originally brought Valikorlia to Graal which was made by Drakaden, although renamed it later to Kharlia. I also made Providence which died after I left for a bit and put others in charge (they broke the system I made).
I was Tyne Rubeus.
Lowkey used to LOVE this game. I played UN, NPulse, Maloria, and more. My name was Laren. Granted I was a little kid lmao but I played this from 8 years old and onwards. I am now well into my 20s. I was glad I found it again around 2012-13. UN was still going then. No where near compared to when it would be 500+ ppl on a server. Miss those days, man.
Maloria...what kind of server was that?
@@VagrantVideos it's crazy to me that you remember the game so fondly but don't remember maloria! but that's fine there were a few distinct eras in the game's history.
@@lemonsqueeZ96 it sounds familiar, was it a classic server type like Unholy Nation?
I miss this game so much.
came from Bambzl's channel, awesome video man, subbed
Appreciate the support!
I didn't realize someone reacted to my video at first lol. Checked out his video not soon after. :D
Player since 2006! ❤️ Thats 15 years. I should be considered a veteran.
I first played Graal in ‘04. I started off on UN and then played Era till I got banned for 6 month in ‘09. So much fun.
I played back in 1999, I remember being very upset when they introduced the ap system and the network latency when they added the npc server. The golden age of graal for me was classic with sparring, guilds (I remember Knights of Valour and…was it Baddies?). The other hilarious part was before the npc server you could hack with memory editors, editing your coordinates, flags and at one point even item scripting. Super fun, I keep waiting for a fan revival of classic but it’s not happening lol.
Way too niche unfortunately. Maybe if a way bigger youtuber advertised the game.
:(( its been really fun i wont ever forget those days ive had with u guys
Played this from not long after it started through 02 I loved it and it was def niche but always felt so busy. But i think since the addition of so many servers/versions and other mmos along with issues with staff and such it was easy to see its decline. The og classic being solo offline as well as mmo was great, I miss it.
It had a ton of potential but sadly it copied many mobile phone tactics
@@VagrantVideos by the time mobile games really came around it was dead lol. I dont see what it copied from,mobile games in the most recent incarnations bc it looks like they stripped everything from it and theres nothing to do now.
I still play here and there, if they tried to with this game they could make it relevant again.
Moving it to the mobile market was a smart move its just odd they have separate servers for mobile and pc
The only two PC servers I've played are Zodiac and Delteria. Delteria has evolved a lot since 2014, when I first played the game on Facebook...
I useto own Mithica my name was Holycarp. I was using a Compaq Pressario 5000, which had like 128mb of ram and 10gb HD. Pretty sure I still had napster installed at the time...those were the days, R.I.P 2001 you are missed, lol
this was really interesting to watch, also interesting to hear about ur nostalgia with the game too !
Thanks Caitlin! I appreciate you sticking around for my videos :)
Such a weird but good time Graal was. Classic had a crazy story and I loved just how much exploration was rewarded and how there really wasn't much of a cap for hp as time went on. that and bowling was weirdly fun.
Era was great when the internet wasn't poop, heh. I never managed to save up more than 1k tho, people are deadly. sword deflection helped though. Feels weird to me now that many requirements to join guilds was a minimum of 100 hours of playtime q.q such a different time.
I think Maloria may have been a fun player server for a time? had some fun leveling mechanics.
After reading comments, yeah, it was a weird and crazy time. Is where I learned the difference between white and black hat hackers.
On another note, every hear of byond? I don't know if it ever had an og game, but there are definitely many user created worlds/games within
i played it also like 6 years ago maybe..i had like 2500+ hours on Facebook and binded it to my email.. but when i enter the email. it says it doesn't exist that's why I lost motivation to play again
I ended the game with 200k kills on a classic. It is dead now but the memories will live on forever.
ive been playing this game since 2013, i miss it
I miss this game. It's still on my download list whenever I wipe my computer.
I'm like that with MapleStory
Really nostalgic.
Kingdoms was just reset in last few days for what we'd like to believe is the final time. Don't get me wrong, I'm not offended that you'd call it dead. There are currently 13 players online which is still nothing, but better than the 2 that it would have for the longest time. It's sad to see a game that was so popular (a few hundred players isn't that much but still) just fall into obscurity. I started playing back in somewhere around 2003 as a trial and then a very kind friend I met in-game gifted me a p2p account that I still use today. I'm gonna try to check into Kingdoms more now that everyone's starting off fresh. I was on UN primarily, but played GK sometimes as well, but then making the switch fully when UN got hacked and was on life support until they completely took it down. Anyway. I appreciate the coverage of Graal, it was interesting to watch.
Is GK still in Beta or something? Why was it wiped? Also doesn’t help that GK is a bit hard to understand.
@@VagrantVideos I don't know if there's a mobile version, is there? Anyway, I'm talking about the PC version. And no, it's not in beta. It's had issues with various things, some of which I don't know or can't explain. But they decided to wipe the server and everyone started fresh to try to revamp the server and rebalance the economy. As for it being hard to understand, I could see that being the case for someone playing for the first time. I enjoy it though for the most part. I'm a casual player though, I'm not super good or rich or anything.
@@VagrantVideos GK Was awesome back in the day, but they ruined it by bringing out overpowered items, it was better before, it makes sence to wipe it

Recently I’ve began to see a spike of graalians running around the graal city entrance.
Really now? Maybe on mobile only though
I play this game since 2016 and i just quit 3 months ago. For sure i will play this game. 🥺
Roblox and Minecraft probably equal like 1/3 of the entire gaming community - crazy that "make the game yourself" is like the most popular genre of game.
Love the "Joueour" joke haha.
Also #freemelee
I'd never heard of this game!
Not surprising that you never have LOL it’s VERY obscure.
graal online classic was the one i played all the time it was so fun i dont remember much about the game sadly ):
Are those really the modern graphics? It seems to be a straight rip of Link to the Past for the map tiles, although some are original.
It originally started as a fan made Zelda game, but yeah i noticed that too
Oh man this hits hard...
I played Graal for a couple of years in the late early 2000s, nearly 20 years ago.
It makes you wonder what happened to all the people I played with all those years...
I'm in my 30s now and life has changed so much since these early innocent internet days.
If anyone still cares:
I mainly played (New) Atlantis and Classic :)
Atlantis was a German server with a rather big community, we even had multiple real life meet-ups at one point.
IIRC I was one of the first people to get 10k player kills... crazy how much time I invested in this game.
Anyway I figure the German scene is long dead.
I don't think Graal can be revived for PC.
It now feels like an anachronism.
I think most people that feel nostalgia for Graal are in their 30s or maybe even 40s now.... and younger people have so much more high quality options wrt. online videogames. No need for a janky outdated zelda clone.
i've been playin this game since childhood
You should look into the games management. I would love to see an in depth video, i blame graal's death soley on how it was management cassic being one of the saddest examples.
Unfortunately i don’t think I’d have the resources to find all that information, it was hard enough to find most of this! Small games like this usually have REALLY poor documentation
I remember Graal from many years ago, but I never got in to it beyond maybe a dozen sessions.
I was much more in to science fantasy games back then, so Graal's world didn't appeal to me at the time.
im 14 but i started playing when i was around 9 (my sister introduced me!) i decided to play again but it was so empty
Its a ghost town on PC at least
Yea I’m honestly sad that it isn’t as fun as it used to be
i remembered having several "girlfriends" in Graal at age 11 lol, jeez
lmao same here, I was around 10 when I had a crush on this guy who was “married” 💀
its alive 😁
I wish I knew more of the zodiac community
Game is not dead but game honestly could be developed better , I have so many concepts that could be implemented
Make a playerworld!
I played this game 20 years ago.
I miss this game
All the graalat shops for cosmetics
I still havenno Idea how tk get gralatd
I've been away from the game for 1 year, and it's crazy how the player count jump from 1000-1500 to 400-750 in just a year. It's painful really... What about next year? Is there gonna a *next* year?
Is that the mobile version? Cuz the PC version is even worst,
@@VagrantVideos Forgot to mentioned that it was Graal Classic
@@VagrantVideos But i do agree, graal on PC is way worse
Me and my cousin played this all the time!
Which servers? Just Classic?
Josh Akari (NBK) here , been playing since 2001 , I cant get my old accounts back tho and they wont answer my emails about recovering them !!!!!!
