  • March 29th - Zone Bots Events


The Events Team can now spawn bots on any planet, which makes it possible to host fun new events. The bots are fast and can avoid bullets, team play is recommended to beat them!


  • March 23rd - Easter Event - Easterhouse

On easter Graalians had to fight evil egg monsters to get new items and a lot of experience! Thanks to Tig and Stephen who developed the easterhouse for us!


  • March 23rd - Project Mythic: Extended Hirings

After the nice input on the server received by players after opening up the little we have on Project Mythic for the LAT hirings, we've decided to open up a few more spots in the staff team.

We are currently accepting applications for the following:

  • Pixel Artists - Your primary objectives would be to help out with tiles, or character equipments, whichever you prefer.
  • Concept Designer - Have great fantasy? Love to draw, using whatever it may be? We are looking for help with designing a quite large castle town, that can't look too repetitive. Possibly accepting applicants for just equipment designing.
  • Level Maker - Still available spots here.

Contacts:

  • Ziro (xXziroXx) - AIM: irxzirox, email/MSN: xzirox@gmail.com
  • Angel (Omaster2) - AIM: mShort345, email/MSN: mshort_23@hotmail.com

Oh and, if you can't work in a team, never heard of the GraalEditor, or haven't the slightest clue about what a pixel is - don't bother applying please. Expect the until now delayed PvP duel system to be released within the nearest days as well!

  • March 23rd - Easter Updates

Happy Easter everybody! We have added a Bunny on Zone which you can kill to gain eggs, but which can also kill you! Enjoy the special gifts in the eggs, the new outfits and many more updates to come soon.

New Events: Lava Blaster Event: Try to push the other players into the lava with your blaster! It's a last-man-standing event.

Foot Race Dash: On the snow race map you can now do a dash (like Sonic): Hold S or D, then run and try to avoid hitting walls.


  • March 8th - Project Mythic in need of Level Maker(s)!


MythicTurnBasedCombat.png

Work on Project Mythic, formerly known as Mythic Legends (not the same as the current server with the name though), is moving forward in a fast pace. The server will have some rather 'unique' features, such as:

  • Turn Based Combat
  • Simple, yet effective, NPCs - such as town folks walking around "living their own lives".
  • Dynamic weather, that actually has an effect on the world.

It would be foolish to list too many things, might result in empty promises. Anyways.. we're trying to create a town connected to a castle, with our own custom tiles. What we're looking for, is one or two Level Makers wanting to design the town (tiles needed can be requested by our tile maker), and later on detail it.

If you are remotely interested, feel free to contact one of the following:

  • Ziro (xXziroXx) - email: xzirox@gmail.com
  • Angel (Omaster2) - AIM: mShort345
  • Pimmeh (Pimmeh) - AIM: Pimmeh

Server aeon.png

AEON has released its classic-themed overworld, Elan: The Faded Nation.

The release of the overworld is accompanied by the release of several systems:

  • A Town Takeover System. Guilds are able to capture Elan's Towns, and receive perks for controlling them.
  • A hunting system. Players can hunt animals and sell their hides for some cash. Higher level hunters can choose more powerful weapons.
  • A mining system. Higher level Miners have an easier time mining. Miners can also purchase better axes. Draisines make it easier for Miners to travel through the mines.
  • An automated Event Bot. Elan offers a variety of events. If an Event Staff is not on, the Event Bot temporarily takes the place of staff.
  • Guild PK Rankings. Guilds can prove they are the best by reaching the top of the Guild PK Rankings.
  • A wide selection of Weapons and Prizes. Shops are scattered throughout the playerworld.

In the works:

  • Guild and Individual Spar rankings
