September

• September 9th - Esteria - Bringing It Back With Some Hiring

As many are aware, Esteria is coming back on Graal. It has one of the best tilesets and custom bodies. We are currently working on many things such as:

• Scripts
• Custom Body Ganis
• GUIs
• Items

We hope to get these done as soon as possible, but we will need some GFXers, Scripters, and the whole lot. Remember, Such a large world, with all the time in the world.

• September 9th - Rudora Development Progress

Some of you are probably quite familiar with the world Rudora, back from the older days of Graal. It's currently a development server, and recently has been under redevelopment in hope to bring a new Classic world. Quite a lot of progress has been made so far.

• Quite a lot of the systems have been rescripted and updated, including the Q menu and weapons
• The events have been redone, and some new ones created
• New quests are on the way

• September 9th - Zone Heavy Laser

A new weapon is available in the shop: the Heavy Laser which is similar to the Laser Force, is slightly slower but also more powerful.

• September 8th - Zone Comets

We have added flying comets on Koth and Alpha, they are not killing yet though:

• September 7th - Skill Games Improvements

We have improved several skill games:

• BomberMad can be be played with joystick and gamepad now
• We have fixed a bug in the chess computer logic (not moving when being in check)
• When training a game then you have a new "Demo" button next to the "Restart" button which lets you watch a match computer vs computer
• In Invaders X the fire slots are not decreasing anymore

• September 6th - Developer Gold

We have switched all graal.net playerworlds to the new Developer Gold system:

• Renting a server is as easy as upgrading an account - just go on the website and buy a Developer Gold subscription: http://www.graalonline.com/playerworlds/stores/upgrade
• Instead of just using PayPal, you can now also use PayByCash which offers more payment methods.
• Same price as before
• The servers are bound to the owners account. You don't have a separate admin-account, but the owner account gets full access.
• You see the remaining subscription time on the serverlist.
• You see your server on the serverlist

We also want to remind you that there is now the Developer Pack available on the website - it lets you share the costs of a server between several developers. The price is basicly 1/3 of Developer Gold, and you need 3 people to create the server.

• September 3rd - Era Releases New Quest

Era has just released a new quest! Located west of Tachi and north of the Hospital is an old military storage compound that is rumored to still have weapons inside. Find a way in, avoid the guards, and buy the guns to beat the quest.
