October

• October 28th - Zone Medals

Get medals for special achievements! We have added 7 medals which you get once reaching a special number of kills for certain weapons or doing special things. Find and get them all and show them in your profile!

• October 27th - Graaloween

It's Graaloween time! Many servers are decorated with pumpkins and skulls and have released new weapons or monsters to celebrate Halloween. On Kingdoms you can enter the Halloween haunted house, and on Zone you can buy the popular ghost rifle and pumpkin rifles. Have fun!

• October 21st - Kingdoms Battle Island

A new island has been added for kingdom battles. The entry to the island is marked on the map. The island is made for battles - you can even find a ship building place and monsters on it.

• October 21st - Zone Team Sounds

The team sounds are now directly available in the item menu - you can easily map sounds to keys and activate them on the battle field to send messages to your team members. You see the icon of the head of the player on the left side of the screen. There is a filter to prevent mass sending of sounds.

• October 20th - New Zone

Many updates have been added on Zone:

• New players can play without observer mode and can access more classes
• More advantages for Gold players: you can assign hotkeys to weapons
• You can play with mouse: shoot by left and right mouse key and cycle through hotkeyed weapons with mouse wheel

We will also hire an Asistant Administrator to bring more life into Zone.

• October 15th - Faded Nation's big move

After a lot of talk and preperations, Myself along with the rest of the FN management have finalized the move to Aeon. FN will now be the classic part of the 4 part Aeon world, formerly known as Elan; or now Elan, "The Faded Nation". We're excited about this and will try to bring you guys some of the best content of a classic world out there, thanks to Aeon administration for support on the move!

• October 15th - Graal Kingdoms New Parties

We have re-enabled several party commands like /party who and /party leave, and the experience gain has been changed: no level gap anymore (any player can join the party) and the experience is shared based on each players level.

• October 14th - Era's Death Gui

Once a player dies, there's a time to be revived. Before now, you couldn't see that timer. However, we've decided to release it!

• October 13th - Zone Planet Admins

We have added several new commands for the Events Team to hire new events team members, and they can also hire planet admins:

• admin for only a single planet
• can use only the commands for that planet
• can kick and unstick players from that planet

This should make the events team more active. The planets are now also automatically reset when the events team members and planet admins logout, so that you can again use all weapons and the time for guild wars and deathmatch are correct.

• October 5th - Graal v5.11

We have released a new Graal version:

• Video capture with compression
• Fixed animated graphics (e.g. yoyo-shield)
• New editor functions for text fields (auto-indenting, tab-spaces) like in the RemoteControl
• Faster particle engine
• Display of 3D objects on 2D servers
• Auto-hiding of flash games when a PM or similar is shown above

Full feature list at Changelog.

• October 2nd - New Serverlist Icons and Fonts

The Serverlist now uses the toon style by default (if you haven't selected another style). Also, new icons have been made for each server. It has been stated that if anyone wishes to make better ones, feel free to submit some by posting on the forums. New fonts have also been added.
