• June 15th - GK Summer 2008

School's out, it's summer time, and Graal Kingdoms is waiting for your arrival. Trade items with other players, enjoy many events, level yourself above the rest, and manifest your own destiny on this medieval themed server. Raise your very own pets, learn spells, and help prevent the evil of the Bomy moon from enveloping our world!

We hope to see you there!

• June 13th - New Subscription System

We are introducing a new more flexible subscription system - you get a starter pack with your subscription, and you can pause your subscription:

Euro conversion

Right now we are losing an incredible amount of money each month just for currency conversion. That's why we have decided to switch the billing system completely to Euro. We know that odd Dollar numbers on the bill (like .37) might be confusing, but we hope that you understand this step. At the same time we lower the Euro prices so that the actual difference between old and new amount will not be too huge. So depending on where you come from and what you want to buy, some prices might be slightly higher or lower. On the subscription page you can easily convert the amount to your local currency.

New subscription system

We have changed the subscription system to be based on Gelats. That means you buy an amount of Gelats on the website, and then subscribe directly in the game using the Shop window. The subscription system has been simplified: we again only offer one Gold subscription which works for any current server (Zone, Kingdoms, Classic, under construction and hosted playerworlds). The price is in the middle of old single server subscription and gold bundle: you subscribe and then pay 300 Gelats each month.

Free starter pack

When you buy a subscription or gelat pack on the website then you get an additional starter pack for free. The starter pack includes items for Zone, Kingdoms, Unholy Nation, Zodiac and Era and makes the life for new players easier.

Flexible subscriptions

The subscription system is now much more flexible. First you don't need to subscribe for 12 months upfront: you can subscribe one month, then pause and continue later with your remaining Gelats. You will get an e-mail notification when your subscription is near the end and there are not enough Gelats on your account.

• June 9th - Project Mythic: Combat System Released!

You are now able to duel players one-on-one on Project Mythic. Want to try it out yourself?

1) Create a new character and login with it.

2) Find a suiting victim, then say /duel <charactername> (ie. /duel Ziro)

3) Wait for the player to accept your duel request. Note: if it's not accepted within 60 seconds your request will time out.

We're also still hiring interested level makers and pixel artists, poke me xXziroXx (Ziro) in-game!

• June 7th - Zone Plasma Chaingun

Hightech in your hands: the new Plasma Chaingun shoots a stream of powerful plasma bullets, works with any class and requires less reloads than the metal chaingun. Now available in the Zone Shop.

• June 1st - Zone Red Pistols Events

This Sunday, Zone will have an event hosted on Deathmatch for Redpistoles. Zone will also have an event hosted for Redpistoles, and the exact event type and location have not been decided. The general time will be 18:00 server time through 21:00 server time. Don't forget the progress on Zone Debug, the Bunker map could be out soon!

Nataxo with redpistoles.
