September

• September 9th - Rudora Development Progress

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

• September 9th - Zone Heavy Laser

A new weapon is available in the shop: the Heavy Laser which is similar to the Laser Force, is slightly slower but also more powerful.

• September 8th - Zone Comets

We have added flying comets on Koth and Alpha, they are not killing yet though:

• September 7th - Skill Games Improvements

We have improved several skill games:

• BomberMad can be be played with joystick and gamepad now
• We have fixed a bug in the chess computer logic (not moving when being in check)
• When training a game then you have a new "Demo" button next to the "Restart" button which lets you watch a match computer vs computer
• In Invaders X the fire slots are not decreasing anymore

• September 6th - Developer Gold

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

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.
