December

• December 19th - Graal Radio

So here we are, it is Christmas time again! What would be a better way to give back to Graal for all those years it has given us? I have created a radio station for Graal. This is different from most radio stations on Graal because it actually uses real music streaming from a DJ's computer to the server which is then sent to the server. The radio is currently located on N-Pulse and will soon expand to other servers! You can currently listen by logging on to N-Pulse. A website will be soon to come, but you can also listen without being on Graal as well!

Listen Links: Winamp - http://www.npulseradio.com:8000/listen.pls

Windows Media Player - http://www.npulseradio.com/listen.asx

Have DJ experience or webmaster experience? Please contact Winky on N-Pulse or email him directly here!

• December 18th - Fincayra is nearly ready!

Not many people know about Fincayra, however we have, since July this year, made quite a large amount of progress. Our Inventory Menu, as well as Status Menus are up and running, and need their keys held down to keep a constant view of them. With the help of Zeo/Chompy and A, our very small staff team, and the freelance level- and graphic-makers that have helped us along the way, we have nearly enough content to apply for Hosted Tab Inspection. A list of our recent updates:

• News GUI Has been added
• Qmenu (Inventory) has been added
• Wmenu (Status Menu) has been added
• Basic classes are nearly complete
• Weapon and armour format complete
  • System to be released soon
• Six basic offensive skills have been completed
• Weather system, originally by Bloo(bscharff) has been revised for compatibility by Chompy and A.
• Tutorial gmap 50% complete
  • Concepts, levels and monsters
• Hosted section of overworld is 90% complete
  • Revisions need to be made

Expect much more in the weeks and months following the holidays, as well as to be hearing from us soon. We are also in need of a skilled levels team! You can find the rough concept map written by Noobyd*(gemini2), hiring information , as well as some screenshots of our tileset and the rough outline of the tutorial map here: http://forums.graal2001.com/forums/showthread.php?t=77947

Please note that until we apply for Hosted Tab, most of our fully completed content will be released only to staff for debugging purposes, and then will slowly by cyphoned into players for use.

• December 11th - Ol' West: It started as rain...

But now it is snowing in the west!

Pioneers in the west oftentimes found themselves battling the cold winter winds and icy snows during the frigid month of December. It has been years since the west has seen snow, but things are starting to ice over.

Snow is still falling, and people are trying to find sources of heat. All gold members receive a free Christmas present when they log on, maybe you will find something warm!

• December 10th - Forecast for Valikorlia: Snow!

Snow has fallen on the lands of Valikorlia as Frostfall's bitter cold takes grasp.

To stay competitive, the nations of Dalmar and Valikorlia have sanctioned an "olympic" type of competition. Their best athletes and warriors will represent their nations as they compete to bring glory and honor to their country.
