You&#039;ll sure be in luck this week!  Graal&#039;s best will be gathering for Unholy Nation&#039;s first ever Guild Spar Tourney on &lt;strong&gt;Wednesday, March 10th&lt;/strong&gt; at &lt;strong&gt;6:30 PM EST&lt;/strong&gt;. The winning guild will receive 25 EP and a statue in the Hall of Champions.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;To enter, have a representative from your guild contact Allona either by PM or through Unholy Nation&#039;s new mail service (her account name is ohshutup55).  Each guild team has only four players, so your guild can have a second team - but variety will make things more interesting!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;So, do you think your guild can make it to the top?  Sign up today if you&#039;ve got what it takes.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It has been a dark time in the land of Graal. The constant fierce blizzards covering the land and trees in a heavy layer of snow. Only the bravest of warriors are able to leave there homes and venture fourth into this arctic like temperatures and heavy winds.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This year the winter seasons has lasted far longer then normal. The citizens of Graal are beginning to starve with the lack of food and the inability to plant more in this hellacious weather. Even the hunters are unable to find food as the inedible Bomys move into the once safe town of Bomboria and begin killing off every wild animal they can find to feed themselves.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Stories of an very powerful wizard casting a ice storm spell over all of Graal kingdoms has been whispered between children, but as the months drag on the many of the adults and now even the king have come to believe these tales.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The King of Graal Kingdoms has issued a decree, asking for a group of the bravest warriors to venture fourth and find out what is causing this abnormal weather, and put a stop to it by any means necessary.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If you wish to participate in this event, please notify chaosorc either in game or though &lt;a href=&quot;http://forums.graalonline.com/forums/private.php?do=newpm&amp;u=4068&quot; onclick=&quot;window.open(this.href, &#039;_blank&#039;); return false;&quot;&gt;forum PM&lt;/a&gt;.

&lt;p&gt;Zombies? Monsters? Guns? Survival?! It&#039;s all in Vega United. This new server is looking for all development positions to complete its creation.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We hereby challenge, you, Unholy Nation, to a battle which we feel you can&#039;t possible win: a battle to decide the best Graal server, involving events on both UN and Era.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We don&#039;t expect you to accept, of course, being a group of chickens.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Sincerely,&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Players of the Classic iPhone server can now join or create their own guilds! With over 2300 guilds currently at war the system is proving to be a huge success, but which of the guilds will stand the test of time?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Creating a new guild only costs 2000 gralats, and to simply join one you can visit the new guild section of the in-game menu.&lt;/p&gt;

Thanks to Dylan (loneangelibesu), Valikorlia has an operational crafting system. Along with the crafting system, Zectra has created a fully customizable pet system.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Once the template is finished, players will be able to create their own personal pet images. These pets do more than follow you around, because there are options to have your pet follow you, stay put, and scavenge. Scavenging is the most useful function of a pet. In scavenging, each pet has its own unique item list and it searches randomly for these items. While scavenging is extremely useful, the pet system will be functional as a job in the future. Keep tuned in by playing Valikorlia!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;For more information about Valikorlia you can also check out the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.valikorlia.com/&quot; onclick=&quot;window.open(this.href, &#039;_blank&#039;); return false;&quot;&gt;website&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Player owned houses are now available on the Graal Classic iPhone server.&lt;br /&gt;
With this update you will be able to get your own house and buy furniture for it! There are three furniture stores, which are located at Onnet, Swamptown and North Graal city.&lt;br /&gt;
To get this update you must have already bought Classic+ or the inside app update from the first version.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We hope you enjoy the houses. If you have an iPhone or iPod touch then download GraalOnline Classic now.&lt;/p&gt;

</description></item><item><pubDate>Tue, 26 Jan 2010 00:00:00 +0100</pubDate><title>Maloria</title><category>/Playerworlds</category><link>http://www.graalonline.com/news#January+26th-Maloria</link><guid>http://www.graalonline.com/news#January+26th-Maloria</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;As our second Preview time is running towards an end, we feel as if we&#039;ve accomplished a fair bit in comparison to what we set out to do. We&#039;ve gotten a fair amount of bugs regarding gameplay fixed, and the remaining few shouldn&#039;t last too long. I&#039;d like to thank the players who continuously logged on to check for updates and help us with testing, couldn&#039;t have done it as good without you!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We&#039;re currently planning out how we want the world to look like as well as where the player needs to go and when. After that has been done, we&#039;ll be working on area by area until we have enough content to actually sustain gameplay. System wise everything of huge importance is completed, so we&#039;re looking forward to making the world playable.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Currently players have access to the (temporary) starting area which leads you to D&#039;unhyl Town after completing a quest to slay a couple of blobs. This town will most probably remain as one of the very first areas that players encounter. Our current focus lays on finishing it up and adding the next couple of quests that will lead you to slay a certain Brood Mother in D&#039;unhyl Forest, but more about that some other time!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I&#039;d like to bring to light that yes, we are very much looking for development help. Mainly in the graphical section, but also when it comes to levels. Do note that if you are interested in helping us with the latter, you need to be able to work with &lt;strong&gt;Gonstruct&lt;/strong&gt; since all of our levels will be made using tilelayers, and the normal editor is not capable of supporting them. We&#039;d be happy to help you understand how it works though, of course.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If you&#039;d like to contact us about anything at all, you can either poke us when we&#039;re online, or leave us a message at &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.maloria.com&quot; onclick=&quot;window.open(this.href, &#039;_blank&#039;); return false;&quot;&gt;www.maloria.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
