=== March ===

* '''March 14th''' - '''Kart Race Tournement''' {{News/Graal Kingdoms}}

[[Image:Kartraceevent.png]]

After 2 hours and 30 minutes we finally had the winners from the Graal Kingdoms
Kart Race Tournement!

Winners:

1) Jcs1919 won the Elven Boots and 5 event coins

2) Alex51 won 3 event coins

3) CriticalError won 1 event coin

Jcs1919 also did the best run with 48.46 seconds!

* '''March 10th''' - '''N-Pulse Rebirth''' {{News/Playerworlds}}
N-Pulse is continuing in it's development of N-Pulse Rebirth.

What is Rebirth? To be exact, N-Pulse Rebirth is going to be an RPG-themed server, and we actually mean that. You will have to complete tasks in order to advance through the world, instead of just s-key mashing (in other words, hitting your attack-button constantly). It may require thinking, or it may require fighting. You also don't pick a class, but rather you can choose in which areas you'd like to level up in. We have our own staff-team specific for the Rebirth development, called "Operations".

We, the Operations Team, are in need of the following:
*'''Concept Design''' - you need to be able to right stories and the concept to the game.
*'''Graphics Design''' - you will need to be able to create items, icons, weapons, etc.
*'''Levels Design''' - you must be able to work with our custom tiles and know how to work with GMaps, inside and outside levels, and a bit of level-scripting.
*'''Programming Design''' - you must be able to create systems, fix bugs in previous scripts, and works with an MUD.
*'''Special Effects''' - you must either be able to make Ganis of swords/items/monsters interacting and/or make sounds of things you'd see in an RPG (swords clashing, swinging, etc.)
If you'd like to help with the Rebirth project and join the Operations team, feel free to log on N-Pulse and speak with a Chief of Operations or one of the Operation's Branch Captains.

===Dustari===
[[Image:Kicon_dustari.png|left]]Dustari is a imperialistic monarchy based off of medieval times. The current King is [[user:Stephen|Bolstry Vimes]].

===Forest===
[[Image:Kicon_forest.png|left]]Forest is a nature-based kingdom. Its houses are formed out of trees. The current queen is [[user:ReBorn_Spirit|Daya Mar Sana]].

[[Image:Kicon_samurai.png|left]]Samurai is a kingdom based on feudal Japan and it's traditions. It's houses have distinctive paper walls and pagoda roofs. The current king is [[User:Hatred89|Kurai Mitsukai]].

=Storyline=
===Peaceful Life===
Life in the [[Graalian]] world was peaceful. People built towns, and mined the land of its riches. Farmers planted happily, making sure to water their plants for the upcoming Sylvester.

Merchants sold goods in the streets, as men on horseback patrolled the area for thieves. The people enjoyed the warmth of the day, as the Bomy Moons approached. The world seemed to be in perfect balance.

===Preparing for Danger===
The world was unprepared for what was about to happen. Sightings of a large meteor were taking place all over the land. Scholars revealed that it wasn't a meteor, but a moon. For many years, the Suns of the Bomy planet had passed near the land. Sometimes, the Suns would pass right over one another. Causing a Sylvester, that heated the [[Graalian]] world with bright red intensity.

However, something had went wrong. The Bomy Moon became disaligned from the planet, and was hurdling towards the peaceful world of Graal.

All the [[Graalians]] could do was prepare for the worst. The Moon crashed heavily into the sea, causing massive tidal waves to wash over the land. It appeared that the damage had been done... but it was just beginning...

===Worldly Changes===
The impact of the Moon caused devastating underground destruction. Underwater volcanoes became active from the intense earthquake, causing islands to emerge from the sea. Lava became hard as stone quickly after being engulfed in water. Clouds of ash arose from the water and into the sky.

The tidal waves began to subside, and the half-submerged Moon could be seen in the middle of the land.

===Unwelcome Visitors===
Approaching the Moon, [[Graalians]] witnessed what appeared to be movement on it's surface.

Bomies began to emerge from the craters. When the alien bomies looked around the land, they became enraged. They discovered that their own Bomy race, were being treated like [[Graalian]] pets. This caused anger in the alien bomies, and they immediately began to attack the [[Graalians]]. The people fought valiantly to save their home. After a long battle, it appeared that the alien bomies had been defeated.

===Turn for the Worst===
Knowing that they were outnumbered and beaten, the alien bomies enslaved the minds of the small creatures and plants on the land. Seemingly harmless plants and animals began attacking the [[Graalians]]. The people had no choice but to retreat. There was little hope left for them, as they quickly fled the island on ships from every shore. They left, knowing that they would return later, to retaliate this assualt. They sailed for what seemed like forever, until they finally found land...

===Final Hope===
Five islands were discovered by the [[Graalian]] people as they approached the shores. The people decided to rebuild their lives on these new islands. They built towns and ports, houses and shops. Soon, they had decided to reclaim the land they had lost. Kingdoms were formed on each island, in an effort to prepare for the approaching battle. These Kingdoms became known as Dustari, Forest, Pirate, Samurai, and Zormite. Each kingdom built armies and castles in preparation for war. It appeared that hope was once again restored in the people of the new lands...

===Destiny Awaits===
Time is running out... The alien bomies are also building up their civilization. The crashing of the moon has awakened evil deep within the world. It won't be long before the evil spreads to take your land for its own. You must help reclaim the island that was once called home.

===[[User:Obs311|John]]===

==Rules==
Because of the accumulation of scamming we need to take radical measures against it.

That doesn't mean you don't need to take care of your stuff!

1. Don't let another player "test and hold" your items, especially if they're valuable.

2. Always trade on the tables; this is because we have logs to prove the traded actually existed.

3. If someone insists on "trying" your gear before they buy it you should make sure they give you collateral. This way they have less influence to scam your gear, and if they do - you can keep theirs! We don't restore any lost items!!! (This includes items burried in the ground or items lost due to scamming).

AGAIN: We don't restore any lost items! (Buried items in the ground nor by getting scammed)

Unless all this as a case arises we will ban players that repeatedly scam and betray others!
We don't accept people that disturb other player's fun by scamming, harassing, insulting and so on.

OTHER ILLEGAL AND BANNABLE OFFENSES INCLUDE:

- Advertising items, or accounts for real money on Graal Kingdoms, or any other Graal Online service/server.

- Using bugs to get advantages.

- Advertising or trading any kind of items or accounts from or for other onlinegames.

Never give your password to anybody! INCLUDING STAFF!

REPORT YOUR SCAM PROBLEM TO THE SUPPORT CENTER:
http://support.graalonline.com/

These are the only way to checkif we can help you, and if so - how we can help you!

Never give your password to anybody! INCLUDING STAFF (or poeple allege to be staff)!

TRANSACTION ID NUMBERS should not be given out to anyone, as they can be used to gain control of your account. And, in addition, such details do not allow anyone to upgrade your account, so if they offer you an upgrade asking for such details do not give them out because (1) this is a scam to take your account (2) giving them these details do not allow them to upgrade your account.

* Pixel Artists - Your primary objectives would be to help out with tiles, or character equipments, whichever you prefer.

*Simple, yet effective, NPCs - such as town folks walking around "living their own lives".
*Dynamic weather, that actually has an effect on the world.

It would be foolish to list too many things, might result in empty promises. Anyways.. we're trying to create a town connected to a castle, with our own custom tiles. What we're looking for, is one or two Level Makers wanting to design the town (tiles needed can be requested by our tile maker), and later on detail it.

=Storyline=
===Peaceful Life===
Life in the [[Graalian]] world was peaceful. People built towns, and mined the land of its riches. Farmers planted happily, making sure to water their plants for the upcoming Sylvester.

Merchants sold goods in the streets, as men on horseback patrolled the area for thieves. The people enjoyed the warmth of the day, as the Bomy Moons approached. The world seemed to be in perfect balance.

===Preparing for Danger===
The world was unprepared for what was about to happen. Sightings of a large meteor were taking place all over the land. Scholars revealed that it wasn't a meteor, but a moon. For many years, the Suns of the Bomy planet had passed near the land. Sometimes, the Suns would pass right over one another. Causing a Sylvester, that heated the [[Graalian]] world with bright red intensity.

However, something had went wrong. The Bomy Moon became disaligned from the planet, and was hurdling towards the peaceful world of Graal.

All the [[Graalians]] could do was prepare for the worst. The Moon crashed heavily into the sea, causing massive tidal waves to wash over the land. It appeared that the damage had been done... but it was just beginning...

===Worldly Changes===
The impact of the Moon caused devastating underground destruction. Underwater volcanoes became active from the intense earthquake, causing islands to emerge from the sea. Lava became hard as stone quickly after being engulfed in water. Clouds of ash arose from the water and into the sky.

The tidal waves began to subside, and the half-submerged Moon could be seen in the middle of the land.

===Unwelcome Visitors===
Approaching the Moon, [[Graalians]] witnessed what appeared to be movement on it's surface.

Bomies began to emerge from the craters. When the alien bomies looked around the land, they became enraged. They discovered that their own Bomy race, were being treated like [[Graalian]] pets. This caused anger in the alien bomies, and they immediately began to attack the [[Graalians]]. The people fought valiantly to save their home. After a long battle, it appeared that the alien bomies had been defeated.

===Turn for the Worst===
Knowing that they were outnumbered and beaten, the alien bomies enslaved the minds of the small creatures and plants on the land. Seemingly harmless plants and animals began attacking the [[Graalians]]. The people had no choice but to retreat. There was little hope left for them, as they quickly fled the island on ships from every shore. They left, knowing that they would return later, to retaliate this assualt. They sailed for what seemed like forever, until they finally found land...

===Final Hope===
Five islands were discovered by the [[Graalian]] people as they approached the shores. The people decided to rebuild their lives on these new islands. They built towns and ports, houses and shops. Soon, they had decided to reclaim the land they had lost. Kingdoms were formed on each island, in an effort to prepare for the approaching battle. These Kingdoms became known as Dustari, Forest, Pirate, Samurai, and Zormite. Each kingdom built armies and castles in preparation for war. It appeared that hope was once again restored in the people of the new lands...

===Destiny Awaits===
Time is running out... The alien bomies are also building up their civilization. The crashing of the moon has awakened evil deep within the world. It won't be long before the evil spreads to take your land for its own. You must help reclaim the island that was once called home.

==Rules==
Because of the accumulation of scamming we need to take radical measures against it.

That doesn't mean you don't need to take care of your stuff!

1. Don't let another player "test and hold" your items, especially if they're valuable.

2. Always trade on the tables; this is because we have logs to prove the traded actually existed.

3. If someone insists on "trying" your gear before they buy it you should make sure they give you collateral. This way they have less influence to scam your gear, and if they do - you can keep theirs! We don't restore any lost items!!! (This includes items burried in the ground or items lost due to scamming).

AGAIN: We don't restore any lost items! (Buried items in the ground nor by getting scammed)

Unless all this as a case arises we will ban players that repeatedly scam and betray others!
We don't accept people that disturb other player's fun by scamming, harassing, insulting and so on.

OTHER ILLEGAL AND BANNABLE OFFENSES INCLUDE:

- Advertising items, or accounts for real money on Graal Kingdoms, or any other Graal Online service/server.

- Using bugs to get advantages.

- Advertising or trading any kind of items or accounts from or for other onlinegames.

Never give your password to anybody! INCLUDING STAFF!

REPORT YOUR SCAM PROBLEM TO THE SUPPORT CENTER:
http://support.graalonline.com/

These are the only way to checkif we can help you, and if so - how we can help you!

Never give your password to anybody! INCLUDING STAFF (or poeple allege to be staff)!

TRANSACTION ID NUMBERS should not be given out to anyone, as they can be used to gain control of your account. And, in addition, such details do not allow anyone to upgrade your account, so if they offer you an upgrade asking for such details do not give them out because (1) this is a scam to take your account (2) giving them these details do not allow them to upgrade your account.

[[Image:Bionic_screenshot.png]]

Hello everybody! A lot of people know about Bionic, but for those people that have never heard of us: Bionic is a growing server. We've been doing alot of work to bring forward a brand new server that Graal has never seen before. We have new ways to get Exp. On our server we have a new Exp System, new events, new jobs and how to earn money in different ways than you've ever seen before. Also we have a brand new magic system and are working on a fighting system but we need some help.

We are looking for 1 or 2 NATS, 1 LAT and also 1 Gfx and 1 Gani maker. We have applications made for each department. There is currently no chief for those departments so who knows if u might take those spots in the future, but talk to Rave Platinum (Manager) on the server (MSN rave1337@hotmail.com, AIM Rave6298).

We hope to see you all soon! We're getting ready to hit Hosted Tab thank you...

A new event has been added on Zone: the Jump'n'Run Race! Everyone starts at the bottom of the map and must jump onto platforms to get to the top. Only the Blaster and the Gravity Hammer are working here. On the way to the top you can find several moving platforms, baddies and destroyable blocks. A lot of players participated in the events.

We have also updated the Platform map to balance it more. The Events Team can now hold events for guilds and only allow certain weapons for doing melee-only events and similar.
