Worlds/Dark Rival: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 21:25, 9 September 2009

The current overworld will be replaced by a larger one soon. It will have more of a square shape, allowing players to roam Dark Rival a bit more. It will also have many more secrets than the current overworld. Eventually, there will be 3 active overworlds, for the three parts of the Dark Rival storyline. We are currently adding features to DR now. Including longer quests for rare items, more exclusive items and games, Auction House, marketplace, pets, games, lotteries, casino games, and more! There may be some small bugs, if you have any trouble, use the in game bug report system (found in the Player System weapon, under systems), or e-mail Excaliber (the owner) at excaliber7388@yahoo.com

News:

Dark Rival is trying out for the hosted tab. Wish us luck! DR recently introduced an in game Computer for staff to test. Basically, it allows the players to send e-mails to each other, chat off the IRC, in game, go on the internet, and soon, play games. After a few days testing we will release it to the public (it will be released without games, however, you will receive a freebie or two automatically, and most you will have to buy). Start saving your money up!

About:

Dark Rival first went online July 27th 2005. From there it grew from having around 400 levels to well over 1000 now. For the longest time, Dark Rival was one of the fastest growing servers around. However, due to popularity, lack of staff activity, and a slow internet connection on the owner's part, the server was shut down. Excaliber has decided to RESTART Dark Rival! It will take a while, due to the lack of Mac dev tools >=( Once these are available, DR can come back to life.

Story:

Dark Rival is basically a three part story, played out on three different overworlds. So far, only one of these overworlds is near completion, and will soon be replaced by an even larger overworld. This is actually the middle part of the story. You play as yourself in the first part, taking over for a hero who has disapeared. Then you enter a flashback, and play as the old hero, finding out more about the plot. Finally, you team up to defeat the 'Dark Rival' in the final part, introducing new ways of playing graal. After that, it's up to the players to see what direction Dark Rival will go in, as they have to 'rebuild' the world after Ceverous (the Dark Rival) is defeated, and there will be a power struggle for control of the world, as 2 nations fight for control. It's going to be a very realistic, time and player based server, and I hope you can be a part of it!

Hiring!

We are hiring LATs, NATs, GATs, Events, and Gps. We also could use someone who can convert normal levels into gmap format.

LATs::

LATs, (Level Administration Team) would be responsible for the uploading, maintnence, and developement of levels. Currently, we are making a new overworld, so much of the work would go to making a unique world.

NATs, (NPC Administration Team) would be responsible for the uploading, maintnence, and creation of new and exciting scripts and NPCS. Dark Rival has many weapons, and unique systems, and the NAT's input is greatly appreciated.

GATs, (GFX Administration Team) would be responsibe for the uploading, maintnence, and creation of new, unique graphics.

The application is here: http://darkrivalonline.tripod.com/id9.html

How to become a good staff member

ALWAYS practice your skills. If yo're an LAT, look at levels other players have made the Graal forums, [1]is a great place to do this. The forums aren't just good for LATs, however, they provide help on scripting, ganis, and gfx. It's a great place to learn, and become a part of the Graal community. I suggest to all current DR staff, and to all potential staff, to take advantage of the forums, Graal Bible, and any other resources they can find to become better developers. If you want to become an Events Team member, or a GP, I suggest asking other Events/GPs on multiple servers about their jobs, what they have to do, and how they became staff. Play on the server a lot, follow all the rules on that server, and play events. Really, this goes for all possitions as well. Get to know the server before you apply. Dark Rival, and the rest of Graal for that matter, is always looking for more developers, and more staff. It's not to hard to learn, so get a jump on it now! I hope to see you as staff on Dark Rival in the future! -Excaliber Owner/Creator of Dark Rival

-Hello everyone, as of late, many people have been attacking me on the issues and matters, trying to lie about things, bend the truth, and downright spin to make me and others of my cause look bad, in this text document i will discuss and lay to rest the issues that matter.

-I have been involved graal for over three years now, and i used to really like Graal and its admins alot, then slowly after about a year Graal and its admins went in a bad downward spiral, i still stuck with graal in hopes graal would pull itself out of this hole and unixmad would go back to the right path, this however did not happen, instead unixmad and even stefan went fouler and lower than i could have imageined, First with fireing Pachuka and Fuitad, two of the BEST graal admins ever in my view for no other reason than disagreeing with his future plans, then if just fireing them was not bad enough, he threatend to sue them and kill they're families, this was so wrong and bad Fuitad even said he would punch unixmad in the face for saying that if he met him in real life, but that was just the beginning of the downward spiral unixmad foolishly invoked onto graal, he then blatantly STOLE a domain name graal.net from Owl Shimy which costed over 30$ US Dollars, and never gave it back to him and never paid him for the cost of the domain, he also threatend to sue Owl Shimy and kill his family although it was Unixmad which stole the domain from Owl Shimy, then around Graal1.3.1 he blocked off Gservers officially and threatend to sue anyone that ran the former Gservers, although they were released as "Freeware" and actually used to encourage people to use the Gservers, this was a blatant attempt to monopolise , threaten, and intemidate that players that actually helped graal and supported him, he then made claims he copyrighted "Graal" and would contact so called "Lawres" about anyone that used the name "Graal" or had "Graal Files" on there websites, although graal was distributed as "Freeware" or "Shareware" and had no official software copyrights related to it, and that the name "Graal" was actually the name of a holy sacred golden cup used in some religion, and in that he has commited blasphemy against whatever religion has the so called "Holy Graal", then later on Unixmad fired SuperNick, because of his country and his origion and called him an American Asian slut, this was the first sign of racism on the part of Unixmad, towards Graal1.4.1 Unixmad was secretly unwrapping his sadistic plans, he then started claiming credit and claiming to own the copyrights to graal, although unixmad has done nothing but host some stupid weak as servers, and yet Stefan Knorr has done all the real work for Graal, and was the one to make ZeldaOnline , GraalOnline in the first place and has written every bit of codeing for the Graal Client , Gserver, RC, ect, yet unixmad the worthless pile of trash that he is steals all credit for Graal, then in February 2001, Unixmad and Antago release Graal2001 and the start of the "Pay to Play" system, now i have no problem with the fact that it is pay to play, the issue is when you PAY for something you actually expect to get the worth while of your money in this product, but instead they got a shittily made level generated land that was 99% empty, the NPCs were and are laggy as hell, and there were no quests, and there is only two shitty things today for hearts that suck so much i refuse to even call them quests, and to add to that about 40% of everyone that paid and gave unixmad there credit card number NEVER got the accounts they paid 27$ or more for, and those that did clearly got chumped out by a cheap peice of crap that aint worth paying for, it sucked so badly that most people played on Graal Classic still, even those that foolishly paid for pay to play accounts, and in an attempt to "FORCE" people to pay for a shitty product they do not want against they're will Unixmad hired "Tyhm" to deface and ruin GraalClassic in an attempt to make it buggier and less fun than even Graal2001, about this time i was disgusted with unixmad and most of the other admins and decided to downright turn against Graal and for the most part stop playing the peice of crap in general. People starting getting angry, complaining, asking for help, and asking for refunds, of coarse unixmad gave noone a cash refund, and simply deleted and banned "PAID ACCOUNTS" of those who complained, asked for help, or asked for a refund these are PAYING CUSTOMERS, they have the rights of basic service that they PAID for, unixmad promises pay to play players a quality product and customer service, but instead gives them a grade F product and ripps off his customers and delete they're accounts that they PAID HIM money for, his excuse? Credit card fraud, when infact at least 90% of the people he bans for credit card fraud pay legitamately with there OWN credit cards or pay via paypal by check, and yet Unixmad has stolen and used others credit card numbers to buy things for himself on several occassions, he also claims he needs pay to play money to keep graal alive and running, yet there has been evidence that he makes at least 90% profit out of the monies he gets, and that he uses illegal porn ad banners and illegal cookie style web tracking and giveing email adresses of the players and even phone numbers of every player to spam and telemarketting companies without there permission, he even keeps personal player info, includeing email, adress, and phone number on unsecure servers which have already been leaked out, such info about people should not be on a public webserver accessable to the internet in anyway, then after all that Unixmad starts banning african american people, asians, koreans, and or people with images of people of that race from the Graal2001 forums and graal itself, yet again they are paying customers and this is another sickening act of racism on the part of Unixmad and GraalOnline, and then even more disgusting is what Stefan posts on the Graal2001 forums, he makes several anti american, racist, pro terrorist, pro nazi, and pro taliban comments on that post and goes on and on several pages bashing americans, this post was offense, obcene, and disgusting to many people includeing myself . If all that does not make you sick to your stomache or dislike unixmad yet, i am far from done, then Unixmad proceeds to illegally DDOS webservers of mafukie and make threats to him over the phone, and has phone assaulted me over 40 times a day between midnight and 5am, and has made threats to sue dozens of people, kill there families, and shut down innocent websites and servers, while hosting illegal stuff and doing illegal things himself with the use of his own wanadoo.fr servers, stuff which includes child porn, bestiality porn, DVD Piracy, DDOS Attacks, theft of copyrighted materials from gameing companies such as nintendo, Credit Card fraud, theft, spamming, phone harrassment, useage of illegal pirated corperate softwares, all this just to start the list of what Unixmad, Stefan, and they're servers are doing 24/7 for nearly 4 years now , anyone that likes unixmad or thinks he is a good person even after all this is clearly a fool, everything in this document is the truth and why i hate unixmad so much, if you like unixmad after all these sickening things he does, then you are no better than a KKK or Neo Nazi member and should go kill yourselfs, i do not tolerate facists, racists, or nazis, they are all bad people, and unixmad is one of the worst of the worst, and no person with any morales could tolerate or support such a person like Stephane Portha or Stefan Knorr. The people that spin, lie and bend the truth in support of unixmad will always exist, but i will always reveal the truth about unixmad, and EVERYTHING said in this document is true, despite what any assclowns try and say about this, and this supriseingly enough is only 1% of the bad things Unixmad has done, how some people even tolerate, none the less support such a bad person is beyond me... I fight against bad people like unixmad, why? Because unlike many others in this world i actually care about other people, and i will do everything in my power to stop unixmad from hurting graal or its innocent players, many say i want to destroy and kill graal, this is NOT true, i used to love graal, i only wish to stop unixmad's evil sadistic illegal actions and restore graal to the great game it used to be when it was "for the players, by the players" , but if i have to destroy GraalOnline in exchange to stop unixmad's tyranny, it will be regreteable, but sometimes some sacrifices have to be made for the greater good, lets just hope that unixmad drops dead and that sacrifice never has to be made... I love graal and lots of its players, and i wish to someday restore it to the grandness it once had, but bad people like unixmad must be gotten rid of if that is to be achieved...'''
