=Introduction=
Era is a notably popular [[GraalOnline|Graal]] [[Playerworld]]. It is based in a time period ahead of most current worlds by using a modern style and [[Tileset|tileset]].

==History==
The idea for Era was originally coined by [[User:Delph|Delph]] back in 2004. It was to create a World with a high level of interactiveness where players would work together to progress not only themselves, but to help shape the World around them, progressing from the early prehistoric days, all the way into the future.

He enlisted the help of a close friend, [[User:Angel|Angel]], with whom he had worked together with on a number of other popular servers, to help refine the idea and eventually get a server set up where they could begin work.

There were a number of issues in the planning stage about how exactly such a World could be created, and they eventually settled on the idea of having three main eras of which players could progress to, or could choose to begin at from the start. These eras were the prehistoric age filled with large amounts of shrubbery, caves and dinosaurs; the present era with modern cities, jobs and cars; and the future with interplanetary travel, space ships and more.

It was decided to begin with the present era as it was in the middle and would also bring something new to the world of Graal.

Just as Era was beginning, [[User:Chrisz|Chrisz]] was brought on board to help with the scripting.

The number one goal at the forefront of development was to make as much as possible interactive. Such as trees being able to be chopped down, or new ones grown, flowers able to be picked, furniture moved and even the trash on the ground able to be picked up. Some of these did get developed and can still be found in-game.

A few months in to development saw Chrisz introduce the first gun on Era. Delph was highly opposed to such things at such an early stage in the server's development as having such items would detract from the peaceful nature he foresaw Era having, at least until means of enforcement were introduced to combat illegal use.

Shortly after the first gun found its way on to the server, Era was made public without the knowledge of Delph and it saw explosive growth as it was a new server with a totally different theme to traditional Graal. But these numbers wouldn't be consistent for a server that didn't have much for the players to do yet. It was still far from finished and after much protest from Delph, the server was made private again to continue development.

As hard as Delph tried to keep a hold on the creation of guns in favour of other more important aspects of the original vision, more, and more were created and Delph began to feel that he had lost the battle. Once the server was made public again, it was clear to him that there was no way of getting the server back on track and decided to take his leave once he finished developing the mining system.

Down the road Era had gained one of the highest playercounts on [[GraalOnline|Graal]]. The then-current manager, Chrisz, quit and the server was given to Jenn. Jenn attempted to revamp the server, but the playercount of Era gradually declined.

Era was then given [[User:xAndrewx|Andrew]] and the server was starting to get better. Andrew then gave the server to [[User:Velox_Cruentus|Velox]]. Velox's attempts to revamp again decreased the playercount, and Era was passed on to [[User:Rick|Rick]].

Rick was then given the server and he worked for almost half a year to fix the server up and it was released in October of 2005, but it was met with dislike from the players because they felt it lacked much that Era had originally had.

=== About ===
Delph is a scripter at heart, but is not opposed to creating attractive and well detailed graphics and levels. He left Graal before GScript2 was released and therefore only ever worked with the original.

He founded and created the following playerworlds:
* Dolphonia
* Galactica (Never released)
* Era

And worked on a number of others including:
* Graal Kingdoms (Created the interface at the top right of the screen)
* Andor
* Delteria
* Sandside Heights (Never released)

Accounts used:
* ''Original unknown''
* Andor_Admin(n)
* Era_Admin1
* Arkan1k
* Huesy (Created in 2011)

=== History ===
Delph began playing Graal around 1998 under the alias [ Delph Inc. ]. Almost as soon as he began playing, he had started playing with the editor as more entertainment and joy was found from creating his own scripts, levels and worlds.

Shortly after having joined, he started his first playerworld entitled [http://dolphonia.8k.com Dolphonia]. It had begun as a large semi-modern city created with the original Graal tileset. Dolphonia turned out to be one of the more popular servers until it ran in to trouble when the server was hacked and all files deleted.

Delph left Graal for a short while before coming back and joined Angel's team on Andor after having created a simple snow environment script on her request as a type of entrance test. It was there where his scripting really flourished and he began to create a new server code-named iomega, later named [http://gpw.8k.com/ Galactica] on his own. This was short lived as he began developing a new idea which he quickly shared with Angel as the two made a fantastic team when it came to the development and management of playerworlds. This idea eventually gained the title of [[Worlds/Era|Era]].

As Delph had never owned a paid-for account on Graal, he began using the account Era_Admin1 as his own. And of course, once he had left Era after much drama, he was without an account. And as such left Graal.

A few years later, Delph returned to Graal just to check things out and found himself being offered a number of opportunities to work on new playerworlds. He was given a new account, Arkan1k, which he used from then on to access Graal and its playerworlds but using the same alias of Delph.

After a few months of work, Delph disappeared again, and until recently wasn't seen nor heard of for a good 7 years.

=== Current Occupation ===
Delph now runs his own web design studio called [http://intriplicate.com.au In.Triplicate Studios] and is currently founding and developing the company known as [http://pindit.com Pindit PTY. LTD.]
