Hello everyone, thought I'd go ahead and introduce myself here. I'm new to the forums here, and joined mainly because of DMFA, which I've been reading for a while now. And yes, if you frequent the "El Goonish Shive" or "EGS Mayhem" sections of the KeenSpot forums, I am the same Lomgren. I doubt I'll post with anything like the same frequency here though. :smile
Hi-ya!
*runs threw on his quest to finish off sir Arthur and his knights when he pauses*
Oh hello sir
*Bows and produces a platter cheesecake and cookies*
Welcome to the forums, El Goonish Shive eh. I'm a big fan myself though I don't visit the forums.
I am TGH resident cook and bottle washer, I'm also the local FBI (federal boy inspector) and you my lad are busted for being male with out a license. You'll have to stay here under watch till I get back. we'll be able to sort this whole thing out quickly don't worry but there may be some stiff penalties involved.
*grins and winks*
But for now see you around I've got to see a man about a knight
Hey, don't let these guys scare you. ;) People will tell you to 'leave your sanity at the door' or something like that, but they're just being silly. :P
Thanks for the welcome. *smiles* Cheescake and cookies? Sounds good...
And I'd prefer not to have to pay any stiff penalties, heh. I thought I had my license right here... *starts looking around and checking his pockets*
And sanity? What sanity? ;)
Oh no, not another one. :rolleyes
Oh, no worries, I'm generally fairly sane. Some people may wonder about me saying that, especially what I seem to be known for now over in EGS, but I'll try to at least remember to bring my sanity along with me.
And yes, the reason I got started reading DMFA was because of a forumgoer there. Having a sig and an avatar based on Jyrras, I eventually had to read it, and I've continued reading it.
*randomly tackle-hugs, leaves a basket of muffins on the ground, then scampers away*
:rj
Thanks!
*smiles as he is tackle-hugged*
*takes a look at the basket of muffins, seeing what flavors there are*
...and a question I didn't really see answered anywhere. What is the best way to try and get fanart to Amber, if anyone knows?
Well you know there is a few ways to do that...One..Make sure you have cash and oodles of it...
To, not from, Zedd.
Email usually works, Lomgren. Or so she's said.
Welcome...
*tacklepouncesnugglelick*
yep, he's good ;)
Oh, yes. Watch out for those muffins from RJ. They tend to be... slightly sensitive to movement.
:yeahthat
Anyways, welcome to these forums!
Tangent: Your name sounds slightly similar to something I've heard before. I can't remember what it is.
Greetings. I am the Monitor of installation 00. I am 7 Itos Atio. Someone has released the Mows. My function is to...
*hears about RJ's muffins*
Eeep! :eek
*disappears*
"My function is to... run away! Run away!" :-)
ooh muffins!!
*munchu*
yum ^^
*Inside of mouth= explodes*
...tangy
Hrm, so I guess it'd be a good idea not to juggle the muffins? I think I'll avoid doing that...
And I'm sure Amber has a huge backlog of email to get through. Patience it is, then. :smile
And my name... I originally started using it for a game called Graal Online about 6 years ago, modifying it from the name Lamgwin, a minor character in the Wheel of Time. Though it turned out to be a Swedish last name... think it was the last name of one of the characters in one of the Rocky movies as well.
Damn cool name ^^
You are now another of my official snuggies ^^
*grins*
I'll definitely have to remember to come here then... sometimes I can be forgetful about that, especially with new forums.

Graal Online about 6 years ago
You mean like... long before they broke the classic world... or even had any others.. and even longer before they started demanding money for you to do anything and keep it?

Is there a problem with a Swedish last name? :P

Yes... Just before Bomy-bopots, now more widely known as Bomies, I believe, were first introduced briefly at the 2000 Halloween party. And they've actually been slowly adding stuff back to Classic. I generally check up on there every few months... and if you remember stuff like Babord, Avalon, Nimda... it's been readded, at least overworld-wise. I actually have hope for Classic again.
And yes, I believe Classic was best when Tyhm was the LAT Admin.

Nope, unless someone decides to start trying to talk to you in Swedish based solely off your name, which actually did happen a few times in Graal Online. *grins*
Oh yeah..My name is Zedd...The red huskie cubi

Good point. Not that I'm ever likely to sign onto such a thing as Jakob anyway..

Well, it was just a big coincidence that the name I chose, which sounded like a good Fantasy-based name, was also Swedish. And I don't mind, I just find it a bit funny.

Graal Online huh? What server?
I've pretty much only played the Classic server... not on there at the moment, but my account name is Lomgren, just like it is here and on KeenSpot. I did play Bomy Moon some as well, but I can't access it anymore, and I prefer Classic to the playerworlds.

I see. I didn't think anyone actually stayed on Classic. I mean, what's Classic got that UN doesn't? And Valikorlia was always the roleplaying place to be... Anyways, you managed to play Graal
without being within my sphere of influence, bravo!

I won't have hope for classic until they un-mutilate the world. It seems like the map is choked with player-owned houses, most of which are where some actual quests used to be.. which pisses me off, since I can't access much of the world without said quests, and they seemingly erased all the progress I made originally in graal classic (which was quite a lot, thank you very much -.-)
I have the offline maps and old graal client, but they're pretty incomplete and non-working much compared to what was online. Also, your name seems familiar, but i'm not gonna get my hopes up that I saw you before. My ingame name was Lone Dude (or Lone Dude II, depending on when we're talking about here) and I spent most of my time killing ugly people on my horse.
Before I forget again... Hello everyone who has greeted me. :smile

Classic has a long history, and lots of memories for me. Especially since I've been on the LAT a couple of times there, among other things. And on Graal, I wasn't really into roleplaying that much. But I was into chatting with friends and doing quests, which Classic once had in abundance.

Lone Dude... that name does sound familiar. I was one of the few who didn't go PKing, I did every quest I could find and collected everything. And yes, everything has been erased because of the NPCServer conversion, which is going very, very slowly. And there aren't really many playerhouses online, they're just houses placed on the map to make empty areas look less empty. And you can get to most of the map right now. There are only a couple of areas I know of you can't reach.
...ah, topic drift, how an introduction thread becomes a thread about Graal Online... *grins*
Hell, I don't even know what that is. Topic trainwrecks ain't no fun if you can't participate.

Basically think of it as an online, multiplayer version of Zelda - Link to the Past. Best way of describing it.
Bleh... Graal Online is an age-old game that came to the internet when a Swedish man named Stefan thought it'd be a totally hot idea to port the graphics and game mechanics from the Super Nintendo game Legend of Zelda: A link to the past to the on-line.
The original plot was that there were 4-5 grails that you had to collect by doing quests. You'd basically have bombs, arrows, sword slashing... power gloves... Everything Link had in that game, and you did quests. That was their first server, called Classic.
Soon people decided to branch off in corners and have themed parts of the world. This led to other servers being made entirely on their own plotlines. Some servers, like UN (Unholy Nation) is just a place to do quests and PlayerKill like Classic did back in the day. Other servers are more specialized, like Era, which is a modern day server with guns and businesses and gangs. Valikorlia is a world based on D&D, and is the roleplaying server.
It all started out with those graphics from the SNES, but over time it's gradually evolved into it's own style. LATs (Level admin teams) make new levels, GATs make new graphics, and NATs program new scripts.
That's pretty much graal in a nutshell.

Good grief, is that Lomgren?! :eek
Welcome! (I'm "OzLionHeart" on the EGS forums, in case you didn't recognise me from the avatar.)
Leave your remaining sanity at th... oh, they've told you already. OK then. (Although I would think that after the EGS forums, you would probably know to keep yours under lock and key... ;) )
Ah, watch out for squirrels bearing muf...fins... oh, done that too. Be careful with those things or this sort of thing (http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/24346405/) can happen... ;)
Have a welcome gift (we don't do the "newbie pack" here). *hands Lomgren a souvenir coffee mug*
Enjoy.

Why didn't I get a mug? Damn, this place is cheap.
We got you a mug. There's a shot of it in your avatar. :-P

I was wondering when you'd show up, as I had already seen and recognized your avatar. *grins* Yeah, I came around here because I like DMFA, and thought I'd enjoy meeting some new people online. And thanks for the welcome, and the gift.

Insulin? I thought repeated exposure to Jyrras would be enough to not need it. And muffins? It just gives them a bit of a... what was it... tangy aftertaste. :smile

Finaly someone lived after that
