* '''September 9th''' - '''Rudora Development Progress''' {{News/Playerworlds}}

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

[[Image:Rudora_news.png]]

* '''September 6th''' - '''Developer Gold''' {{News/General}}

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''' {{News/Playerworlds/Era}}

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.

MASTERCOLA: /* Administration */

{{playerworld}}

== Background Information ==
A tropical paradise server with battle somewhat similar to the Final Fantasies, in that it is turn-based. It is loose-RPG, which simply means RPG is not enforced, though it is an RPG server. The server is grossly understaffed, so if interested in applying for a position on the server, contact Zeon, the manager, or Haro 41, the co-manager.

'''Zenkou''' is a well-anticipated server with much promise. Though styled with the beautiful graphics by Graal's own Haro 41, intriguing scripts, and detailed levels '''Zenkou''' doesn't take it over the top, and overall is unique in its aspects.

== Beating a New Path ==
=== GUI ===
'''Zenkou''' has taken the initiative and gone forth to materialized 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.
=== Battle System ===
'''Zenkou''' is proud to present it's 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.
=== Outfit ("Taylor") System ===
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.
