This server was the 15th server to ever be hosted on graal via Payed-Player-Hosted server. :-D.
* '''August 30th''' - '''Pool Billiard''' {{News/Skills}}


{{stub}}
A new game is available: Pool Billiard - just click on the Games tab
or on the Games World and you can play billiard against the computer or
other players, or watch other players playing and chat.
There is 8-Ball, 9-Ball, Straight and Snooker.


== The Modern Rivalry ==
In all games you can chat while playing against other players now, so it should be more fun.


Graal X was a very successful server during the 'older' days of Graal, holding quite an impressive playercount at the owner (KuJi)'s disposal.
* '''August 28th''' - ''' Dark Nations Development! '''
We got our tileset completed and retrieved, so currently, were scripting a few functions, resolving gmap problems and tomorrow were going to start Development of our Overworld tomorrow. Our new overworld is much larger than the old one, so yes, we will be in need of LATs. It is 5 islands. The middle/main island will be used as 'The Hangout', shops,events house, some quests, and Guildhouse locations. The other 4 islands, which surround the middle island will be used for alot of quests and major events ect.  


Although later on the modern boom began, the early version of Atrius began, with MadJ clenching ideas, and power. KuJi began to consider Atrius a 'threat'.
Please come to Dark Nations and look around, test npc's while our staff develope, or to apply for a certain Staff position.


KuJi went on to introduce Era-ish systems, which the players loved, such as more business's, Era-styled events, a fishing system, and worked on other jobs.
-Matt (Manager)
Players adored KuJi until MadJ pushed back a little bit with another update, cars.


Throughout the month's, KuJi and MadJ had a back and forth player war, trying to keep their players with newer and newer systems that other servers did not have, and KuJi was clearly the winner in the battle.
* '''August 27th''' - '''Zone Photon Cannon'''
The photon cannon is a powerful rifle with normal and  
charged shots. You can buy it now for 18k in the shops!


KuJi later kept his ground with newly created Spawn, Reborn, and even bypassed Era a few times.
* '''August 27th''' - ''' Black Dev '''
Black is a classic and modern server together, there are 3 LAT positions available, along with 2 Gani and room for 1 GAT.  


Until Trinity came.

Trinity bashed KuJi, and Graal X to the ground, and the new war between KuJi and new owner, James began.
Tryouts only, no exceptions
-RW* (Manager)


Graal X later became a MIA project.
* '''August 27th''' - ''' Stone Henge Overworld! '''
Today we've been working on a massive amount of the overworld. Please feel free to check out Stone Henge as we ARE hiring staff specifically LATs. But it's been getting interesting and more baddies have started to be created.
-Stan (Manager of Stonehenge)


Years passed, with different Atrius versions comming out, and Graal X came back during the Jenn deficit of Era, which caused modern players to find another place to call their 'home'. Players equally spread out to new Atrian City, and Graal X to give the servers a try. There was really no competition throughout this time, as both owners figured they kept a good enough playercount at 20-30 players daily, they just kept their rivalry formal, and even got together a few times to help out one another.
* '''August 27th''' - ''' Alexia Kingdom Update '''
Alexia Kingdom has almost become player friendly! We are currently finishing up our OW, and improving our events system! Event prizes and player items will soon be finished as well. Quests also soon to come. Please visit us sometime!


Then 'tragedy' struck during Atrius Version 4, an attack was plotted on Atrius during one of the best times, and a hack script was unleashed on Atrius from one of the scripters, although James did not declare a full out war, many of the understaffmen, led by the Co-Owner, and the Manager, called an all out search to find out what happened, all evidence pointed to Graal X, and KuJi's new 'right hand man' after MadJ quit, G-Man.
* '''August 27th''' - ''' Niromia's First Event! '''
On 9.15.2006, September 16th for the decimally challenged, Niromia will be hosting it's first event. Even though we still are a private server we encourage those with Upgraded accounts to come and see what's it's all about. The event will consist of three sub events.
1) Spar/Pk,  
2) Scavenger hunt across Sarcartus,
3) Suprise Event.
The Grand Winner of the event will get $20 (in real life) I will mail it to the winner.
So come on down that day and have some fun! ;o
- Omega (Server Admin for Niromia)


After being yelled at to not do it by James and Mag, the Manager of Atrius 'infiltrated' Graal X, and pulled a hack script on there to even the score.
KuJi and G-Man were shocked, and placed the IP on full alert, KuJi and James were again at war, and the manager was punished, but never globally banned.


KuJi and G-Man later scrapped the project, and began to take a new side to Graal X.
* '''August 20th''' - '''Unholy Nation Spars&Events'''
Since G-Man worked on Icarus, a server that was brought up by MadJ and Drogan, he helped Icarus more then Graal X. Icarus was later scrapped due to the owners, and staff having real-life issues to attend to.
[[Worlds/Unholy Nation|UN]]'s brand new 26-level spar complex now includes all different kinds of spars. Its newly featured Spar Ranking systems, to see who has the best win:loss ratio, is accompanied by Spar Rating and Events Wins resets; now the best sparrers and eventers automatically have their statue updated in OSL.


KuJi, knowing that time was running out for GX to properly hold a fight against Atrius, rumors came about that KuJi personally begged G-Man and Sage_Shadowbane to give him Icarus content, something that guaranteed him the ability to defeat Atrius in any battle, after the Icarus staff gave in to content that should not have even been theirs, KuJi worked on custom bodies.
* '''August 19th''' - '''Zone Wild Cross (CTF)'''
The Wild Cross planet is back! Capture the flag of the enemy team and bring it to your own base, first team with 5 flags wins. The map has been reduced in size to make it more interesting.


Most content that you see today on Graal X was provided to Graal X by Icarus, by two staff members that really had no specific permission from Drogan or MadJ to give such content away anyway.
* '''August 18th''' - '''Zodiac Classic'''
[[Worlds/Zodiac|Zodiac]] has been moved to the Classic Tab! It's a classic-style RPG-world.


== Joey's stupidity ==
* '''August 16th''' - '''Zone Alpha Planet'''
The Alpha planet is back - a pking planet without rules! The planet selection
has been improved to display more planets and you can select them via mouse click now.


In May, 2007, Joey (Or KuJi to some) supposibly either issued himself, or asked someone to directly attack the server Atrius.
* '''August 11th ''' - '''Classic Spar'''
Atrius lost everything, and TheJames had to call Stefan to get the backups back.
Classic's monthly spar tournament for the month of August is over.
Although at the moment nobody knows exactly HOW KuJi got onto Atrius, rumors are that he hacked in, other rumors are that he USDed a staff member to get him in, and another rumor was that Mike (Princeofkenshin) hired him.
Congratulations to Nicholas (Rommiel) for picking up the win.
When Stefan had to bring the backups back, he wasn't happy, and obviously all evidence pointed to KuJi;
Graal X was shutdown just hours after that, and KuJi was globally banned.
