Worlds/Aeon
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 originally 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. They are in fact worlds the co-exist within the same timeframe and are connected altogether through story or gameplay. In essence, to succeed you will have to play through all the worlds as a server. Aeon is made in the form of being a single server that meshes the four current popular Graal mods into a single fun server, not to be confused with hosting four different types of servers under one name. AEON once served 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, a past King of the UnholyNation), 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.
Arkland Empires was originally meant to be a classic-style server that brings everyone's favorites about Graal under great performance. However, as the server grew, the ideas became far too complex to put all together and the staff found it better to seperate guns/rp/classic from each other.Long after this decision, the server was renamed from ‘Arkland Empires’ to ‘Aeon’. Thus, evolving the ideas for success for the strong competition from the original server mods, Unholy Nation, Era, and Graal2002. As a result, the server staff decided to make a new type of server that features different worlds; each world with a different theme but all still the same server. To be complete on Aeon, one would travel to all the worlds as the storyline followed and complete everything that the four server worlds offer. Once that is completed there is more. Discussion of a secret complete new world exists for the strong of Aeon that requires all the techniques, items, and skills they have learned and acquired throughout serverplay yet confirmation is still unknown.
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.
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.
