Graal v6 is now officially released!

[Admins]

GraalOnline version 6 is now officially released! To celebrate the release of v6 we also give free Gold for two weeks, which means no observer mode for two weeks!

After 5 years of hard work the new version is finally up. It brings a lot of new functionality and possibilities, and of a lot of optimizations:
- External windows such as scripted playerlist, options, profile, remotecontrol
- Faster game startup
- Support for DirectX9 and OpenGL
- Better support of GUI styles (you can use several at once)
- Tons of new scripting functions
- Extended body colors

Important notes:
- Graal v5 will still be allowed for some weeks, but will be disable at some point so that scripters can use the new functionality
- An updated Linux version will follow soon
- We will continue to fix bugs and add new functionality to v6 now that we have the same version on all platforms (Windows, Mac, Linux, iPhone, Facebook, soon Android and more)

A small text file with some improvements made to v6 is attached (version.txt). Keep in mind that this list is two years old, we will try to post an updated list soon on wiki.graal.net

Im having this problem with graal.
Every time i disconnect and try to log back on what ever i disconnected from it will not let me connect back to it for about 30m-1h.
Example: Playing era get disconnected cant log back onto era but am able to log back onto any other server.
Example2: Logging into graal main screen then disconnects cant even log onto main screen.

Please fix this problem.

That's actually very true, yesterday I was trying to reset my weapons on Era, so I said "/reconnect" about ten times and it wouldn't actually let me connect to Era until I had Zach disconnect my account (took 6 disconnects) for it to actually allow me back on. Weird.

It's tradition for new Graal Client Versions to be thrust upon staff by surprise in such a way they're not prepared for.
At least it's a good thing this time .

v3 did not even have GUI controls, so no.
