Graal Legacy is also hoping to hire all forms of development staff such as scripters, graphics artists, level artists, animations artists, and sound effects staff members.

October

• October 31st - Zone Halloween

Zone has released the flashpistol on Zone to trials and gold players. The flashpistol shoots Halloween bats and was created by Codein and we adjusted the power and freezetime slightly. For those of you familiar with the gravitron, the weapon is quite similar to that in terms of the spread of bullets. Hallogrenades and greengrenades have been released, as well as the pumpkinrifle, and ghostrifle.
Halloween effects have been added to all dropships, and the effects were minimized on the spar dropship to avoid disrupting gameplay.

• October 6th - Playerworld Previews - October

As October begins the playerworld preview is refreshed with two new servers to explore.

Graal Ghetto is a modern style server that offers many of the features and system you'd expect from a modern server, however they are in need of Graal Animation staff as well as staff in other areas to help with the project.

Zenox is an rpg style server with a unique style of graphics and tiles. Development on the main systems are going strong with monsters that use path finding and a fully functional party and movement system. Zenox is in need for Levels Designers, Graphic Artists and Graal Animation staff to help the project.

• September 10th - Playerworld Previews

Playerworld previews allow under construction playerworlds to apply for the hosted servers section as a preview status for approximately 30 days. Hosted playerworlds have enough content and development for at least 2 hours of gameplay, however the preview playerworlds are still under heavy development and are barely playable being aimed towards the development community in an effort to gain developmental support for the servers.

The first server to be released for preview is the long awaited Maloria which has been under development to improve the quality and production of the playerworld.

If you think your server qualifies please contact the Playerworld Administration Team through the support center or for more information on playerworld previews click here.

• September 7th - Zodiac Updates

Zodiac has been anything but quiet lately. While Zodiac's V2 updates have slowed down, there have still been some releases on Zodiac. Random events are being hosted off for the new Avenger class, and the Lumina Rod and the Feral rod have also been hosted off. The lumina rod and the feral rod don't drop, but they are planned in the next update to the pyramid, so be prepared!

• September 4th - Graal Kingdoms Ranging Event

There's a new kind of spar coming to town this Sunday at 6:00 PM EST. In the past it's been a little bonus at the end of larger spars but now it's the main attraction! It's time for the archers of the land to grab their bows and crossbows, shake off the dust, ready their arrows, and prepare for a ranged battle.

• September 1st - Global Development Team

August

• August 30th - Zenox Updates

The unique classic styled server, Zenox, is progressing quickly. Of the completed systems, the item system's inventory is complete. The inventory is fast and unlimited, and the SQL item database is working well! The item database works by allowing for a weapon to be dropped by dragging the item in the inventory to the place on the ground you wish to lay it down.

Not only are just the inventory systems and multiple events complete, but the mining system, and buying and selling system is finished too. The buying and selling system allows you to buy and sell items by dragging the item you wish to buy or sell to the appropriate image. If you wish to buy an item, you have to grab the item or click the image of the item you wish to buy.

The custom baddy system is working well. The baddies can steal items from players, if the player has enough of an item. If more than one player fights a monster, the experience is given based upon the damage dealt by each player. There is also a drop rate of the items a baddy can drop.

Zenox is also searching for level artists, graphics artist, and animation artists to help complete the server. If you are interested, please speak to an administrator of Zenox.

• August 30th - Zenkou Awakens

Zenkou has taken the initiative and gone forth to materialize some of the most interesting ideas on Graal. Currently visible are the Graphical User Interface (GUI), originally scripted in GS1 before the release of Graal 3 and the use of GuiControls. It is unique in that it snaps to objects, is draggable, and acted like windows in a window, before it was so easily done. The soon-to-come GUI v4 will be scripted in it entirety in GS2 and will use the new engine to its full potential in making a complex script, as one might imagine it might be, into something more functional and compact.

Zenkou is proud to present its up-and-coming attraction, simply referred to as "the battle system." It is a turn-based system resembling that of Final Fantasy, and employs an algorithm in determining the order on a basis of speed. The system is functional and is in the final development stages before being released into the public.

A very interesting aspect of the game is the ability to change one's outfit using the Outfit tool, which allows you to preview, save, and delete any outfit that one might want to use. The server does not use the old characteristic-changing method found in other servers' "Taylor" systems, but rather displays it graphically. Mouse-Control.

Zenkou is revolutionary in that most of the server can be controlled by mouse click-and-drag. There is not a server out there that can brag the same mouse-control as Zenkou.

• August 30th - N-Pulse New Content Development

For those of you who are unaware, we are still at work on an expansion of N-Pulse called N-Pulse Rebirth, which has long been under development and is finally nearing time for the initial stages of closed beta testing. To prepare for this we have moved all of the Rebirth content from our Debug server to our Main server. Though it has not been released publicly, we will be gradually working to finalize what we need to begin actual testing.

Over the next couple weeks, as more and more content is finalized and ready for closed beta, we will be doing testing with a group of closed beta testers. Those who will be in this group are yet to be determined. If you are interested in testing contact any of our management for information on how to apply.

As we prepare for this stage of development we are looking to hire a few more developers to help. If you feel that you are capable of producing high-quality content, and are active enough to participate in our development, you may apply for any of these positions:

• Scripters (2 positions available)
• Level Designer (1 position available)
• Graphic Designers (2 positions available)
• Effects (Includes Audio, Particle Engine, and Graal animation; 2 positions available)

Lastly, our forum is still active! Register today and beat the high arcade scores, or claim achievements which can help you in-game. Subscriptions are available for the latest N-Pulse information, and your own guild page on the site! Visit http://www.npulse-rebirth.com

For any further information on any of this; you may contact in-game or by e-mail:

• August 30th - Graal Kingdoms Magic Spar

The fighters have had their day and now it is time for a new type of warrior to enter the ring. It is time for something bigger, more powerful, and more flashy. It is a time for magic.

Mages will come from across the land to compete for the prize in a magic spar that's been designed to test one's skills and strategies.

The denizens of the land are invited to come and take part or to spectate this event. Show up and watch the fireworks fly as we see who really knows how to wield magic. Bring your appropriate gear to the battle on Sunday, at 6:00 EST.

• August 27th - Graal Kingdoms Soccer Match - Dustari Vs Crescent Pirates

Dustari got off to a quick start by scoring 3 unanswered goals within the first 4 minutes of the match. The Crescent Pirates battled back with a flurry of goals to win the first half 6:5. Dustari got off to another flying start in the second half scoring 4 goal in quick succession despite the Crescent Pirate attack managing to bring the game to a close 12:10, Dustari managed to catch another 2 goals to ruin any chance of a come back. The final score for the match was 14:10 to Dustari.

• August 22nd - Graal Kingdoms - Spar Tournament

This Saturday comes one of the best events in the Kingdoms. A good old fashioned sparring tournament. This Saturday at 6:00 PM EST people will gather from all the islands to pit their strength and skill against one another in a brutal fight for a great prize.

• August 17th - Era Support Center

Era's staff team have released a new in-game Support Center! This is to resolve the complaints of the unanswered PMs, problems unsolved, etc. This will hopefully help ensure that questions directed towards staff members are answered quickly.

Along with the support center comes the removal of FAQs, and the switch from GP to Player Relations staff. You can contact the Player Relations team for both FAQ and police-related problems. The reason for the switch is because they will be doing more than just "police" work, and "Player Relations" is much easier to identify as someone who is there to help than "GP".

To open the Support Center click F11 on your keyboard and this box will appear.

You can report any GP related information but you can also report things such as.

• Bug reports
• Complaints about staff or development
• Ideas and suggestions
• Problems with gangs/businesses
• Any other problem that requires real attention
• FAQ

Discussion about this new Support Center is here.

• August 16th - Atrius News

After a long journey, Atrius is preparing for an even larger step. Atrius plans to apply for Classic and would love support from the community. Many new exciting features have been added, and a few of these ideas include armies, helicopters and tanks. Other interesting additions are businesses and the release of over 25 weapons, 30 new outfits, and 10 new events.

We hope you will enjoy our work, but the only way to enjoy our work is by checking Atrius out. Atrius isn't done, since the journey from hosted to classic isn't easy. Atrius also is looking to hire one scripter, two graphic artists, two level designers, and two Graal animation artists. If you are interested in applying, please speak to TheJames (Manager). We hope to see you on Atrius, and hope to have your support with our classic venture!

-Atrius Staff Team

• August 16th - Era - Battle of the Bands II

Now the third time you've seen this stage on the news, by now you know there's only one thing that can be happening: Era's hosting another Battle of the Bands! On Sunday, August 16th at 3:00 PM EST, the Comic Club will play host to a contest of rock 'n roll skill, the likes of which have been seen only once before. Free admittance will be granted to those arriving before 3:00, so be sure you're in and seated early! Players can begin signing up near the event house, renting instruments at the Comic Club, and rocking out in the practice rooms immediately!

• August 15th - Graal Kingdoms Monster Siege: Skeleton Crew

The monsters have lost their riches and are now angry for revenge. Spies have detected several ships flying the Jolly Roger approaching the Crescent Pirates. The bad news is these aren't pirates. The ships are manned by skeletons, and lots of them. Ghost ships if you will.

They'll be in pirate waters Saturday at 5:00 PM EST, 6:30 if there's bad weather. Skilled adventurers will be need to sail the seas and intercept these ships while the less experienced guard the shores against the few that make it through.

Sinking these ships are a bad idea. These skeletons are -supposed- to be highly trained but they don't seem to have been using their training brutals. There should still be several of them lying around in the holds.

• August 9th - New Zone Outfits

New heads and bodies have been added to the Zone outfit selectors. Along with the new heads and bodies, we are announcing an event for this coming weekend! Saturday, August 15th, there will be an event hosted by MagikMasterMind. More information about the event will be posted during the week in this thread.

• August 7th - Graal Kingdoms Monster Siege: The Wealthy Dungeons

Not very many people know what's going on. Monsters are amassing for a series of gigantic attacks. They are tired of being kicked around. They long for the days when the meteor first crashed and they chased the kingdoms off to their puny islands. Now they seek to bring the war to them.

The preparations have been kept secret, out of public eye. Only a few adventurers have been enlisted to help learn of their plans, but now they move in larger forces and the prizes of victory are on the rise.

Even monsters need wealth to fund a war. It's been discovered where they're keeping the treasury. Now everyone who's interested is enlisted in the war effort to raise up arms and strike them where it hurts. Be there on Saturday, August 8th at 5:00 PM EST.

• August 3rd - Zodiac V2 Updates

Zodiac's staff team is still working hard. The version 2 updates are showing excellent progress and the server is continually improving. Not only have the new item system and quest system been completed, but the game formulas have been modified to be easier to understand and the Prestiege classes have been removed. Equipment slots have been added and improvements have been made to Zodiac's core systems. Another notable change is the new image for the HUD, and, of course, the new graphical interfaces for many of the core system scripts, such as Trade, Shops, etc. More information about the Zodiac V2 progress can be found on the forums.

• August 2nd - Graal Kingdoms Derby - The Final

The final of the 2009 Graal Kingdoms Derby was a success with many of the people taking part having great fun but especially for the three winners.

• July 23rd - Zone Updates

As the image made by our GFX staff shows, Zone has had a large set of updates today.

- A new Iricia base selection system has been added which allows you to choose a base to spawn to. You can spawn to any base that your team currently controls.

- In addition to the base selection system, a focus system has been implemented on the sparring planet. The system makes it easier to focus on certain parts of the sparring planet.

• July 21st - Account Security

Anyone who has recently used illegal third-party software such as trainers, hacks, or bots on GraalOnline have put their computer and personal security at risk. Some of these programs may contain keyloggers or botnet clients used to access your GraalOnline account. We would like to stress that this threat will compromise computer and personal security not just GraalOnline accounts and you should take security measures to solve the problem. For more information [Click here].

• July 19th - AEON - Opan Beta Application

We've been making some great progress on AEON over the last few weeks, and we are pleased to announce that our modern world, Opan, is ready for a closed beta test. At this time we have already issued invitations to some of our longtime players to test Opan, but we are still looking for more testers. Trial and classic accounts are more than welcome to apply, since we would also like feedback from non-gold players

The application for beta tester can be found here. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact Napo (*napo_p2p) or Hatred (*Hatred89). We hope to see some of you on soon!

• July 15th - Dementia mining!

We now have a basic mining system and a mineral shop in the west to sell your stones to. Everybody starts with the pick axe, and minerals are all around the outside of OSL. Also, we have a simple little hat shop where you can spend the hard earned gold you have just made.

• July 13th - Dementia Needs Help!

Dementia has been completely rebuilt. Currently we have a few levels, a few NPC, and some graphics.

• July 9th - Graal Kingdoms - Monster Siege Part 1

There's a letter. It was dropped by a Skelly. Hm... it's pretty garbled and torn up. Only one thing can be made out from the mess, "... we will attack..."

Sounds ominous enough doesn't it? We need adventurers to strike out and slay monsters by the ton. We need to discover what their plans are. Where are they going to attack, what are they going to do?

This Sunday at around 5:00 server time I should have an idea on where there are some monsters hiding out. If you're there I'll send you off to recover more plans. Each piece you bring back will win you an event coin. Maybe then we'll learn what they're doing.

• July 7th - Graal Kingdoms - Quarter 3

Quarter 3 has arrived on Graal Kingdoms. Find more information here.

• July 6th - Noctorious Beta

Noctorious is a modern themed server with many of the same features you'd expect from a modern server, however the the staff team has paid great attention to detail brining a unique style of design to the server. The public beta testing is from Monday the 6th until Monday the 13th of July giving a glimpse of what's to come.

• July 5th - Unholy Nation Pets!

Hi guys! Sunday at 5:00 PM EST we will be having an open beta testing of the newest system on it's way to Unholy Nation. We have been slaving over it for two weeks, and are excited to get the final product public! You guessed right, it's the future pet system!

Just be ready to log onto Unholy Dev and have fun. The main objective is to evaluate the stress this system will have on the server when we have a large group of players using it at a time. There will be a thread on our own UN forums system (and the GraalOnline forums) for your opinion of the system.

Keep in mind this is the beta! So what you're seeing isn't the finished product. Thanks!

~Streety/UN Team

• July 4th - Zone 4th of July

Thanks in particular to Minomato and Novice for their contributions to allow these updates to happen. More updates will come soon! Have a happy 4th of July!

June

• June 30th - Rum Runner!

It is a dark day indeed on Graal Kingdoms. The mighty rum reserves have dried up and even the bottom of the barrel is getting parched.

It's up to the hardworking, honest citizens of the Crescent Pirates to ship more, life giving alcoholic ambrosia to the Misty Mug Tavern before anyone suffers from being sober.

This will be a multi-way ship fight on Sunday, July 5th, 22:20ish server time or about 1:00 PM EST. It's been done once before and this time the rules are revised to make the entire event more fun and less one-sided.

Players can choose their own teams between 2 and 4 people each. One team will be designated the "Rum Runner" team and will be given a unique name barrel to put in the hold of their ship. With handicaps, they need to sail from Crescent Pirate island to the docks outside of Misty Mug tavern without being either sunk, or having their rum stolen. All the other teams try to steal it without sinking the Rum Ship.

On Wednesday a detailed list of rules will be posted on the forums. Please read them if you are interested. This event is complicated and takes a lot of effort to try to make it fair for everyone.

• June 23rd - Triple Bash Spar Tournament

Come take part in the GK's Triple Bash Spar Tournament. There will be three consecutive spars. One melee, one magic, and one ranged.

These three fights will be taking place Saturday, June 27th. It will start early in the afternoon EST time.

If you're unable to take part, at least cheer on your buddies. Because the melee and magic spars are paired up by level and overall capability, most participants can expect a chance to advance through at least one spar. Make sure you show up on time though. Setting up pairs is difficult and the later you are, the more likely you are to get mismatched, if you can get matched at all.

The winner of the melee tournament will receive a Flaming Ice Dagger. The winners of the magic and ranged tournaments will receive the expected event coins, plural. There will be bonus prizes for winning each battle to make it more fair for everyone.

• June 22nd - Dementia: The Daemen Are Coming

Dementia is a new server being developed with a unique concept lead by Tiders the Owner and the Lead Developer R0bin. The server has many interesting features that are currently in development such as the statistics and experience systems which is almost complete and ready for release with battling system in major redevelopment due to be released with a fully operational interface. Dementia is planned lightly on the GBA Pokemon games with a large amount of graphics for Daemen, the servers version of Pokemon. These Daemen were created by the Graphics Admin Seph and the hard working Graphics Team with a wide range of graphics and styles for the Daemen.

Dementia is looking for Levels Artists, Scripters, Graphics Artists, Sound Effects and Gani Artisits to help with the project.

Please contact Tiders on [email protected] or find him in game.

• June 21st - Delteria - A link to the Past

Fire up the Wayback Machine, because while you're waiting for the new Delteria Project you can log onto the current server to get a taste of what the server used to be like! The old world map has been restored, bringing its old events, weapons and arenas with it. To play on the old Delteria just fire your 'Timewarp' weapon and you'll go straight back in time.

Keep an eye out for further updates on the development project in the future.

• June 14th - Unholy Nation Receives Horses

Unholy Nation has received an update of horses being re-added to the server, as well as enabling pause again on the overworld. See you at the town barn!

• June 13th - Zone Updates

Zone has been updated today to prevent against base laming and to make game play more interesting. On Iricia, if your base is under attack you now will spawn randomly on your team's side of the map. The change to make game play more interesting was to show how much health is taken when you attack an opponent and how much experience you gain when you kill someone.

• June 3rd - Spawn

A few days ago, Nat had an interview with Mog about Spawn, here's how it went.

Nat: Good Morning Mog. I'm going to ask you some questions about the hosted Playerworld of Spawn. Have in mind that this conversation will be posted on the Graal News.

Mog: ok

Nat: What is your Staff position at Spawn?

Mog: developer

Nat: Ok. Tell me about the beggining, what were the first ideas you had to make this playerworld?

Mog: the server was already on hosted status before I came onboard. Considering the fact that I am banned everwhere else, I had nowhere to go except underdeveloped playerworlds and two of the hosted servers. When I logged into Spawn one day, I was asked if I wanted to help out. Eventually, I accepted and started right in finishing up scripting projects and working on new ones. Spawn is meant to be a futuristic city with high-tech weapons and vehicles. Newer ideas are being implemented and I am currently working on a few projects there.

Nat: Intresting, so what is the current status towards being able to join the Classic Tab? How is the relation with the PWA?

Mog: I would to say that the current state of what Spawn is at now, was mainly due to hard work and dedication. With all of our hard working busy staff on the server now, it could take some time before something like going to Classic status would be realized. As far as the relations with PWA's, we have represented ourselves professionally and show a great deal of commitment, otherwise we wouldn't have made it to hosted status in the first place.

Nat: Looks like the wind is in your favor. Now tell me exactly what can we see on Spawn? Wich is the content?

Mog: Spawn in general is undergoing some major changes. Currently, I am the only active scripter on the server capable enough to do what it is we need to have done. As a developer, I have implemented a few of my own ideas to build right into the heart of Spawn. Some of these new ideas implemented by me, unfortunately can't be shared at this time publicly; however at the current state of what Spawn is in now, we have a huge overworld, which can be fully explored. There's also a few misc. shops around, some mini quests and my favorite, whack a mole.

Nat: Yeah, I've played that =P. We can certianly expect more similar quests and alot of new content, I support your work :). Thanks Alot for your time Mog.

Mog: You can certainly expect lots of updates coming soon. Thank you for your time

• May 30th - Quizzing Graal Kingdoms

On Saturday, May 30th, Drakeero will be hosting a special quiz for Graal Kingdoms. This is a pattern guessing quiz and everyone gets a chance to win. If you're good, you can even win more then once.

Make sure you're on this weekend to be a part of the action!

• May 24th - Black and White Graals

Classic is pleased to announce the release of the Black and White Graals. Long thought to just be a folk legend passed down from player to player, these mysterious artefacts are steeped in magical power. The Black Graal grants its owner an unlimited supply of ammo; the white Graal blesses it's owner with the ability to heal any wounds, bypassing any healing restrictions. Be warned though that there is only one of each Graal available; if you want them, you'll have to hunt down and kill the existing owners.

Happy hunting.

• May 21st - Mr Guess Visits Graal Kingdoms

A mystical wizard named Mr Guess is visiting Graal Kingdoms for a few days to play his favourite game. He can be found on the main islands including the start and Hotaru islands waiting for brave adventurers to track him down. Once found Mr Guess will give you 3 chances to guess his number between 1 and 200 before he inconveniently teleports to a new location. Those lucky enough to guess successfully will receive a reward and be entered into a special event for the chance to win a rare item after Mr Guess has departed from Graal Kingdoms.

Good Luck!

• May 17th - Recent Updates on Maloria

Recent Updates:

• Main Island has gotten a huge facelift, and it's not long until the entire island will have gotten a whole new look while sticking to the original layout of it.
• A lot of graphics have been improved, and there's more to come of it!
• Rain, Snow and Thunder effects have all been fixed up and had their lag issues fixed. (apparently it's not a good idea to constantly stack emitter modifiers!)
• Wind has existed in the background a long time, but it has now gotten a visual effect to increase the effect of weather.
• Weather in general has had a revamp to behave more realisticly.
• Torches and leaves are affected by wind. Torches are also affected by rain.
• Player data storage have been converted from .arc files to SQLite database.
• Skill system has been completed, players can now properly add skill points upon level up.
• Boats are finished, you can currently rent them south of main house. Two players can use the same boat at once.
• Respawn system have been added, you now spawn at the nearest respawn point instead of spawning at the main house.
• Crafting have been somewhat completed, yet to be implemented though.

We would be able to produce a lot more gameplay content, but we're in desperate need of someone capable of creating quality ganis, as we currently have no one on the team who feel capable of doing them.

We could also very much use another level creater, but it's not as vital for our progress.

• May 16th - Graal Kingdoms Event

On Sunday around 2:00 EST a big sparring event called the Triple Bash will be held.

• May 10th - Zone Updates

In addition to new hairs and bodies added to the outfit terminals, new events team commands were added which allow for new types of events.

An example of one of the new types of events is when the first person to achieve 25 kills on Iricia wins a prize. Bigtime008 was the winner of the first of many of these events.

On top of all of that, a new part of the news system was created and added today! The news system now displays who has gotten the most kills within the last hour.

• May 3rd - Kingdoms: Challenge of the Lights

To celebrate the start of May and its burst of spring color, the symbolic Challenge of the Lights was introduced.

Amidst brightly colored flames, teams assembled to carry a pair of lit torches through waves of monsters.

Each team consisted of two torch bearers and two bodyguards. One torch was blue, and one torch was red. As the teams fought their way through the monsters and completed [or failed] one by one the server became lit blue and red.

At the very end, came the epic victory of two torch-holders who struck down a wave of demons and cyclopes even after their body guards had fallen.

• April 4th - Graal Kingdoms Quarter 2 Updates

Graal Kingdoms Quarter 2 kicked off with a bang on April 1st with a prank on the players, seemingly resetting the server. Several updates have come once a day and updates will continue to be made up until Easter.

One of the most notable updates to Graal Kingdoms is the fact that Observer Mode has been removed. There is a level cap instead now.

Several other improvements have been made to the system and we have prepared Graal Kingdoms for some nice future updates.

To find out more information about Quarter 2 updates, [click here.]

• April 1st - April fools kicked off on Graal Online

Surely you'd think server staff won't play jokes will they?

The best and scariest joke of the day was played on Graal Kingdoms. Characters appeared to be reset with all items, statistics and levels gone. Needless to say the joke shocked most of the Graal Kingdoms players.

Another not so scary but more fun joke was played. Era turned into a classic themed server complete with the classic style sword system enabled for the whole day.

Until next year the jokes are over.

March

• March 29th - Bringing music to the city

Bring music to the city with the introduction of 21 new muscial instruments! The instruments can be purchased with event coins at the new music store.

To celebrate the release of the instruments a concert will be held on Sunday the 29th at 3PM Eastern Time. Take a break from mindless violence and joy-riding. Listen to a variety of different songs played by a selection of skilled musicians.

• March 28th - Maloria, A glimpse through the keyhole

Many may remember Maloria as the dominant classic RPG server before it was closed for redevelopment. Maloria has improved many of its systems and game content for the users to enjoy.

The overworld is being revamped to improve the detail and quality of the levels while keeping the same geographical layout of islands that were all used from the good old days. But that's not all; plans for new islands to be implemented into the expanding overworld is one of many big changes to expect. It's safe to say that you will not be disappointed with the final result.

The shopping interfaces have been improved to be user friendly with clear and simple GUI. The interface has five easy to use tabs to direct you to the inventory for that respected tab. Each weapon, piece of armour and potion displays an informative range of statistics to aid you in buying the perfect item for whatever you need.

The events system is automated to host regular events that are usually hosted by events staff, with a wide range of prizes to be won. It will provide players with a chance to practice for when the dedicated events staff host their frequent events.

The mining system has been improved for a richer experience. Materials can be obtained by using a pick axe to break open rocks and then using the pan in the water in the usual fashion. There is now an additional option to refine these materials using a furnace.

Dungeon bosses such as the giant turtle use deadly melee and magic attacks to deal great damage to foes. The addition of these new monsters will promote group hunting. The idea of bringing down large creatures with your party of fellow adventurers has got to be interesting.

Various different spells have been revisited and freshened up with exciting new graphics and ganis to make the spells look better than ever.

A new quest system has been implemented with a clear list of active quests and descriptions of the quest objectives.

Nation warfare has been developed with the addition of siege equipment to improve player vs player combat with destructible nation castles.

• March 21st - CastleWars on N-Pulse

N-Pulse is currently having a weekly Castle War event. The Castle Wars events are similiar to a guild war, and the goal is to determine the best guild.

The Castle War event will be held weekly on Wednesdays between 7-8 PM EST (12-1AM GMT, and 0:00-1:00 server time). The Castle War events will also be hosted randomly during the week, so guilds be prepared! Prizes are also awarded.

• March 14th - Zone News Window

Zone Staff added the news window to allow for players to keep track of what happens on Zone! The news window opens on login and the news window also opens when clicking on News in the upper right corner of the stat display. Currently the news window logs event messages, race results, deathmatch winners, kills, purchases and medals. You can either watch the important or all messages, it will display the 25 most recent news. Ideas to extend this feature are welcome!

• March 14th - Kart Race Tournament

3) CriticalError won 1 event coin

Jcs1919 also did the best run with 48.46 seconds!

• March 10th - N-Pulse Rebirth

N-Pulse is continuing in it's development of N-Pulse Rebirth.

What is Rebirth? To be exact, N-Pulse Rebirth is going to be an RPG-themed server, and we actually mean that. You will have to complete tasks in order to advance through the world, instead of just s-key mashing (in other words, hitting your attack-button constantly). It may require thinking, or it may require fighting. You also don't pick a class, but rather you can choose in which areas you'd like to level up in. We have our own staff-team specific for the Rebirth development, called "Operations".

We, the Operations Team, are in need of the following:

• Concept Design - you need to be able to write stories and the concept to the game.
• Graphics Design - you will need to be able to create items, icons, weapons, etc.
• Levels Design - you must be able to work with our custom tiles and know how to work with GMaps, inside and outside levels, and a bit of level-scripting.
• Programming Design - you must be able to create systems, fix bugs in previous scripts, and works with an MUD.
• Special Effects - you must either be able to make Ganis of swords/items/monsters interacting and/or make sounds of things you'd see in an RPG (swords clashing, swinging, etc.)

If you'd like to help with the Rebirth project and join the Operations team, feel free to log on N-Pulse and speak with a Chief of Operations or one of the Operation's Branch Captains.

For more info, please see the official GraalOnline hiring thread.

February

• February 28th - Unholy Nation: CS

Unholy Nation is in the middle of a long-term developmental projects. We're going to be releasing some small term activities for the players to interact with while it's being worked on. Come on and check them out:

• We'll be hosting a level competition that will go hand-in-hand with the "re-stock" of the hat shop. Come around to get details.

• "CS" - CS is an old gun game customized to UN is brought back with new levels, arenas and style of game play. Check it out north of Town Center in the Auction house's old building

• Swear filter is now toggle-able. It was a controversial subject, and if you don't mind seeing the swears you can toggle it on or off accordingly.

• Seaport is the long term dev project that was never finished. We plan on finishing it soon for release, it will incorporate a new quest for you all to play though. We're going to take a different approach, however.

• February 16th - Maloria Valentine Special

We on Maloria will be releasing yet another very limited, and permanent, item in the shape of the Cupid's Bow! Along with it, you'll also receive 500x Cupid's Arrow. How to get it!? Just log on player! This offer is limited to February 22th.

During the next couple of days, the events system should be up and running, which means we'll try it out and possible give out some other misc. novelty items that will never be given out again.

We are also getting closer and closer to applying for a Classic inspection, however, the remaining work isn't some of the funniest things to work at. We're at a complete halt until we're able to find two/three dedicated and talented LAT's, that would be interested in tiling the sewer dungeon with our custom tiles.

So, if you're interested, please get in contact with Nate (bioboi) or Ziro (xXziroXx).

• February 14th - Ardeo is Hiring!

Ardeo is in need of a few staff members to get us towards the next step in development! Do you want to be part of a close-knit team of inspired workers, and do you have an ambition to complete a server?

Ardeo will eventually have a multitude of things to do, including: -Jobs -Sailing & Piracy -Trading with a real economy -Wars & conquerors. -Two different fighting systems -Dungeons And a lot of diverse areas and races to choose from.

So contact Pimmeh over the forums, or email him at [email protected] http://forums.graal2001.com/forums/showthread.php?t=84177

January

• January 29th - Classic Update

Over the last few months work has been made towards subtle updates to improve playability of the server in the long run.

The first main example of this is the new Hit Detection, which is Clientside, as opposed to the Serverside Hit Detection which had been used since after Classic got an NPCserver. The difference is that the previous HD caused players from the opposite side of the Atlantic to where the Server is hosted or from other locations around the world to be at a disadvantage, supposedly being able to be hit from a long distance away, whereas the new HD ensures attackers must be close to you on your own screen in order for you to be hit, to put it simply. There is also the option of being able to spar/pk within special rooms that use the default Graal movement + HD.

The second main example would be the new Map System. This is aimed to help players that are new to Graal or the server to find their way around more easily. If you've ever attempted to quest on the server but have been confused as to where to go next, icons will be marked at locations depending on your quest progress. Locations containing obtainable items of interest are also marked on the Map regardless of progress. Any future releases can be added to this easily.

Our plan has always been to salvage the best content from Graal the Adventure and to build new content around it with the original Graal feel while keeping newbie-friendly, although we realise it is just as important for there to be recyclable content that can be played constantly around the clock. In order to accomplish both of these goals we feel the Dev Team requires a shake-up and so we'd like to invite anyone interested in working for the server to apply with our new application, which can be found at - http://classicgraal.net/applications/development/

Good luck to all of those that apply.

• January 22nd - AEON Comming to an end!

  • Think you can level/sfx? Then hop on to Azure Skies and see if it's the place for you!

• We're also in need of some extra GATs to push along creation of certain aspects, such as swords and boats (both large and small).
  • If you feel up to the challenge, by all means come give us a look.

• Even if you don't have any development skills, come along and see the server thrive. We're adding new things for players to do while you wait for the grand opening, so why not hop on board (Geddit?) and check us out for yourself!
