Aeon is a server that features a little bit all of types (Role Playing, Modern, Classic, Futuristic). It is currently a Graal Hosted server. Formerly known as Arkland Empires.

Naming

Aeon was renamed from ‘Arkland Empires’ to better fit the server’s theme. The word ‘Aeon’ can be defined as ‘an eternal frame of time’. The server’s worlds are modeled after different time periods. AEON also serves as an acronym for the servers worlds (Arkland Elan Opan NSC-tt).

History

Aeon was founded early July 2003 by Sage Cypher and NerFBaSs (also known as Lothar), under the name ‘Arkland Empires’. These two founding members still remain part of the server’s staff, as Owner and Co-Owner, respectfully. Aeon’s current Managers (Napo and Poodie) have also been part of the development team since July 2003.

Aeon was originally meant to be a classic-style server, but as the server grew, the development skills of the staff grew as well. As a result, the server staff decided to make a new type of server that features different worlds; each world with a different theme. Soon after this decision, the server was renamed from ‘Arkland Empires’ to ‘Aeon’.

Worlds

There are essentially four different worlds on Aeon.

Arkland

Arkland is Aeon’s Role-Playing (RP world). This world is still under heavy construction, as it is being completely re-scripted from old gscript to GS2. This world will feature various role-playing elements, such as kingdoms and classes. Arkland will use a custom-built mudlib, based off of Graal Kingdom’s, but simpler in design to increase speed.

Inverness (NPC Administrator) is the leader of Project Arkland.

Elan

Elan is Aeon’s classic world. This world was modeled with classic players in mind. The world features quests, guilds, and good ol’ classic sparring and PK.

Opan

Opan is Aeon’s modern world. This world features guns, gangs, cars, helicopters, and other various ‘modern’ items.

NSC-TT

Although not really a world, the NSC space station is set to be the most pivotal part of the server. Little has been released to the public about this world, but it is known that it will be a link to the rest of the worlds. The station will also serve as an orientation for the new players.

Malinko, a member of the Playerworld Administration once wrote a basic review to interest the GraalOnline community about the concept of AEON. It can be found at the GraalOnline Communication Center at the following link: http://forums.graalonline.com/forums/showthread.php?t=63495. The purpose of the review was to advertise the playerworld, support the idea, and to interest the community on doing the same.
