• 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.
