'''This page is an edit of the other Zone page because it is locked. It is a work in progress'''

[[Image:Zone_mechscreenshot.png|left]] '''Zone''' is a futuristic 2D battle server. You can choose a team and a class and directly enter the battlefield. Each planet offers a different style of game play. The goal is to beat the enemy by conquering their bases or by finding all flags and bringing them back to your base.

You can use one of the numerous futuristic weapons such as laser guns and plasma sabre, or use the wide collection of pistoles, riffles and grenades to overthrow your enemy. Additional weapons can be bought for in-game currency in the dropships or gained in events.

On most maps you can also find vehicles such as hover bikes and mechs, which offer protection and powerful arms or let you faster access other parts of the map.

You need to play strategically to be successful - you can use mines for defense, start your jetpack to fly over walls, place boxes to block the path for the enemy or choose the medic class and heal your team members.

==Maps==

There are sevaral different maps on Zone. Each map has its own set of rules and unique style of game play.

===Iricia===
[[Image:zone_muramasa.jpg]]

Conquer all bases - take over the five bases and your team will win. The main base (Base1) is located at the northern region of the map, it is the base people seek for domination as the team in possesion of the base are able to teleport their teammates using their HQ. This is the most popular map because it allows for long and challenging battles.
The [[Events Team]] can restrict the teams to special guild names, so that it is possible for guilds to compete against each other.

===Spar Arena===
[[Image:zone_icecanon.jpg]]

The Spar Arena has quite a history. It was originally added to replace Alpha, but due to Alpha's popularity, the spar dropship was merged with the alpha dropship. The Spar Arena is composed of four sparring areas and a practice area. The sparring areas are set up so you and another player can enter and spar with each other. The first two areas are public and anyone may watch the spars. The other two, the elemental snow spar, and the normal spar are private. Only the members participating in the spar will witness the events that may take place.
The practice area is an area where you and others can go in and battle the practice bot.

===Deathmatch===
A deathmatch map - the last survivor wins. There is a time limit, the game ends drawn when the time runs out and there is still more than one player alive.

Members of the [[Events Team]] can change the rules, like specifying which weapons are allowed. This is the map on which most of the monthly event weapons are hosted off on.

===Guild Wars===
[[Image:Bridge Spar.png|right]]

A more tactical map for Zone, as class selection depends a lot on what you do to overcome the enemy.
This map is an elimination style map, meaning once you are dead you cannot return until the next round. There are new classes such as the engineer, which is the only class able to drive hover bikes and mechs.
The map also utilizes the Dark and Light side classes from the previous map "Zone Wars". These classes are the same as before, but the darkside powers now have a grenade launcher.
There are a special type of Scout and Medic on Gwars. The medic supports a blaster which can bounce foes about to knock them away and the Scout has the lavagun and dartgun.
There are 2 teleports to the lava caves, where only melee weapons are only allowed. This makes things a lot more instense if there are only a few on your team left. Also, some nice particle effects are used in the caves.
The [[Events Team]] can restrict the teams to special guild names, so that it is possible for guilds to compete against each other, or one guild can compete against the server.

===KOTH===
[[Image:zone_shotgun.jpg]]

A classic King-Of-The-Hill) map, up to 4 teams can take part in the battle for the center of the map. If one team has more players standing in the middle than the currently leading team, then it will take over the map. The first team that is protecting the hill for four minutes wins the round. The losing teams will get some time bonus in the next round, for balancing team strength. The [[Events Team]] can restrict the teams to special guild names, so that it is possible for guilds to compete against each other, and set the amount of teams capable of playing.

===Wild Cross===
[[Image:CTF.PNG]]

The typical capture the flag map, this map is most commonly referred to as CTF (Capture The Flag). Wild Cross features a wide variety of classes and weapons that are not readily availible on planets like Iricia. The objective of this map is capturing the flag. After capturing the flag five seperate times, the round is ended. Wild Cross does not have one single objective, it is also set around the medals that can be gained. The flag medal, poison medal, flame medal, and many more medals can be attained on this map.

===Bunker===

The goal on Bunker is to control the bases. There are two teams and three bases and each base will be a power line. If your team captures the base, it will take power from the other team's base and will lower their shields. After a certain point the enemies power planet will fail. You start with a Combat Knife and have to find crates to get more weapons. The new Helicopter vehicle is also located here.

==Events Planets==

There are a few special planets that are used only for Events.

===Platform===

Platform does not have any specific form of game play. The only distinct difference in game play is that platform has a gravity effect which makes it more difficult to fight, and is much like a platform-game. There are 2 teams in an all-out battle. Platform is open one half an hour every two hours. It alternates with Zone Wars.

===Zone Wars===

Zone Wars has some history. It was originally in the place that Guild Wars (GWARS) is located. It was taken out, much to the dismay of many Zone players. Due to popular request it was brought back as an event world, and is open half an hour every two hours.
The game play on Zone Wars is very simple. The objective of the map is to attack the other teams base. There are only two teams, Light Side and the Dark Side. The first team to take down the other teams base wins!

===Snowrace===

Snowrace is a mini world. Snowrace is composed of 15 different tracks. It is opened by Events Team members. Once opened, you will be asked if you would like to join. If you accept, you will move to the start line. The Events Team member will start the race as either mech, bike, or foot. You will be put in that vehicle, or on foot, and you will have to race to the finish. The first one there wins.

===Jumprace===

Jumprace is a mini world. When opened, you will be asked if you would like to join. If you accept, you will be warped to the start line. You will have a Blaster or, if you have it, you can use a Gravity Hammer. An Events Team member will start the round, and the objective is to avoid the obstacles and other players to finish first.

===Lava Event===

Lava Event involves Blasters. An Events Team Member will call the event and will start it. Once started, Blasters will blast you back a few tiles. If you happen to hit the outside, you will be warped out of the event. The last man, or woman, left wins! It is much like a "Sumo" or "Fallout" event on a Classic server.

===Platform Race===

Before you get too excited, Platfor Race is not released yet. Platform Race is very similar to Jumprace. There will be different tracks set by the Events Team Members. The first person to the finish on the trick obstacle courses will win!

Kart Race Tournament!

* '''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 write 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.

'''N-Pulse''' is one of Graal's older [[playerworld]]s, originally founded by [[User:Geovanie|Geovanie]]. Since that time it has endured various makeovers and spinoffs (including Geovanie's 'Tierdal').

Currently, it is under the leadership of [[User:DesolateRestriction|Chang]] as the server Manager, [[User:The_Kez|Kez]] as the Assistant Manager, and [[User:dubbykay203|Kay]] as the Admin.

'''N-Pulse''' is currently working on a project codenamed N-Pulse Rebirth, which will transform N-Pulse into a fully-GS2 part-Classic-part-RPG server. This project is being leaded by [[User:Novice|Novice]] as Senior Chief and [[User:Matt|Matt]] as Chief under some supervision of [[User:DesolateRestriction|Chang]] and [[User:The_Kez|Kez]].

Currently, N-Pulse is mostly an events playerworld with a few interesting jobs. Almost anyone can get into the gameplay easily and enjoy the large number of events available.

N-Pulse has one of the better designed and organized Events Systems where events are constantly being held within a reasonable waiting time. Players can earn coins by winning events, send coins to anyone, trade coins for gralats, or spend on toys found in the shops.

The N-Pulse forums with hirings/updates can be found at [http://www.npulse-rebirth.com/ www.npulse-rebirth.com].

N-Pulse is not only Famous for its normal Events but also for it's Holiday Events. Examples: Halloween 2005 - Pumpkin Hunt: In each Pumpkin there was either a Random Item (Some were Rare), Event Coins, or Gralats. Some of the Items though were only released on that day and some were quantitized. During Holidays, items are always given out.

N-Pulse was founded in 1998 by Geovanie Legend, It has had many great Admins and Managers such as Nightfall, Saga, Moongod, Rai, Zido, Jadynx, and others.

On N-Pulse if you wish to get cash, there are some things you can do such as mining, PKing, fishing (for fish and sharks), selling event coins, and trading items.

== How do I create a GraalOnline Wiki Account? ==
You currently do not "create" a wiki account. In order to get an account, you must upgrade to a gold account. You can then log in with your GraalOnline Community Name and password. Because the site is ran by GraalOnline, you don't need to worry about password-stealing. I was confused as well about how to get an account, and then I had asked a friend and they told me that it is your GraalOnline account (community name) and password.

== What will having a wiki account do? ==
If you have a wiki account you will be able to contribute to the wiki. Doing this will allow for general information to be released to the players of GraalOnline. You can also add to the news tab on the login of Graal by going to [http://wiki.graal.net/index.php/News wiki.graal.net/index.php/News] and after "News" in the address bar adding the year and then month.
