A happy new year to all Graalians! Another exciting year just started, and we hope to see a lot of players on Graal - which at the same time is a development platform and a place to play retro-styled online games with a nice community. We hope all your wishes and good resolutions for the new year will come true!

Stroseria, one of Graal's most exciting upcoming servers, is looking for some developmental aid. The server is an RPG server focusing on various guild events, such Island Battles, is looking for all kinds of developers, including sound producers, storyline writers, and a website designer (however Stroseria is not in need of any player relations staff so please refrain from applying for those positions). Stroseria is aiming for multiple platforms with the possibility of a single cross-platform server.

If you are interested, please here to visit the forum application thread. Good luck to all those who apply and Merry Christmas!

GraalOnline would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas, and a happy new year! Most servers are prepared for the holidays and have special events going on so be sure to check them out!

It's this time of the year again, when temperature and snow are falling - you can see it all over Graal! You can see it on Unholy Nation, on Zodiac, on Era, and even on the iPhone and Facebook servers of Classic and Era! Time to throw some snowballs and have fun.

Era is currently looking for talented developers to fill positions on the server. All major development roles are needed. To apply or for further information please click here.

Happy Halloween on Graal! Many servers have prepared fun stuff for Halloween, be sure to check them out.

The Playerworld Administration Team, responsible for overseeing playerworlds on Graal, is looking for an additional team member.

Details for those interested in applying can be found on the forums

All applications must be received by December 20th, 2011.

Good luck!

May I draw your attention to the Hosted tab!

Since Maloria wasn't happy with the direction it was going while on Classic tab it has restructured and gone back to its roots in many areas of the server. While you will still be seeing many changes in its basic structure you can look forward to its historic rivalry amongst the 3 nations with "Nations War" events held weekly.

In the meantime you can hone your fighting skills killing monsters, doing quests and taking on bounties for those rare monsters that just might give you something special. Remember to level up so your health and stats grows and so you can get that gear you'll need for the player vs player competitions.

Please give Maloria a warm welcome back home and enjoy watching it grow.

The guys at Era are kicking off the Halloween festivities with this rather exciting Halloween Hat Competition.
