Playing Graal Reborn is easy! All you have to do is follow these three simple steps!

1. Register an account on the Graal Reborn website

2. Download the Graal Reborn client

3. Log on and play tons of user created content!

One of the first things you should do once you log on for the first time is create the look of your character. Graal Reborn has some of the most powerful customization options at the user's disposal. You have the ability to change your between hundreds of heads, swords, shields and bodies. You can also then change the colors on your characters body. Try saying something like "sethead head423.png". Try different numbers instead of 423. Do the same things with "setshield","setbody", and "setsword". To change the colors of your body, see the playerworld's in game manual.

Feel free to explore the many user created worlds. Remember, Graal Reborn is still fairly new so content is limited for the moment. All the more reason to jump in an start creating!

Something that has always been great about Graal Online is its powerful playerworld development tools. Packed with the Graal client is a powerful NPC scripting language and level editor. To access development mode, open the Graal client and click the "Offline Test" button. Then once the game loads, hit the F4 key to enter the level editor and start creating!

NPCs can be created in the level editor. Once in the level editor click on the "Baddies,NPCs,Chests" radio button in the Graal level editor mode. Here you can add baddies and chest NPCs by dragging them into the level. Double clicking them edits their properties. Down in the lower left hand of this menu is what appears to be a drawing of an outline of a person. Click and drag this into your level to create a new blank NPC. These blank NPCs are scripted to perform a multitude of tasks and can be represented by characters, images, among other things. Double clicking them allows you to edit these scripts and also contains a well put together scripting reference.

The last way to create original content for Graal is to create Graal Animations or GANIs. GANIs are animations of Graal characters to be used in game by character NPCs or players. Making GANIs allows these players or character NPCs to perform a large amount of unrestricted visual movement and effects. Basically it means if you wanted your players to be able to wave to the screen and then flip the bird, that could be easily accomplished using a GANI. GANIs have fairly simple creation and are made using a program called GaniShop.exe that comes with the Graal client and can usually be found in the Graal folder.
