Graphics Team
The current GAT Admin, Frixxy.
Staff of this type are generally referred to as GATs (Graphics Administration Team).Graphics are the visual presentation or surface of Unholy Nation servers. Generally the graphics you see on Unholy Nation are made as pixel art. Pixel art images are created pixel by pixel (or dot by dot). The graphics (or images) you see around the server were created by the imaginative minds, and magical clickers, of the Graphics Team. The graphic artists on this team are responsible for all of the graphics you see around the overworld, from the most basic things like bushes and flowers to the icons in your inventory, events images, etc. They are the creativity behind the aesthetic design of the server. Making graphics, or pixel art, is a very simple task for the artistically inclined player. They harness their talent to produce content for Graal using digital illustration programs (such as MS Paint, photoshop, or gimp). For any questions on the graphics or the graphics team please contact Frixxy (Graphics Team Admin).

Levels Team
The current LAT Admin, Joker.
Staff of this type are generally referred to as LATs (Level Administration Team).
The Levels Team is responsible for creating the entire server's environment, which includes all of the levels, overworld and map that players walk on. When you’re wandering around Unholy Nation, you’re walking on levels. The process involves placing together small tiles from a 64x64 grid, known as a "tileset", which is saved as a .graal or .nw file using the Level Editor. While leveling is easy to start out with, there are many techniques that a master leveler will use regularly to achieve amazing illusions of depth and detail. LATs generally also have basic scripting knowledge for simple doors, image placement, warps and other things needed to create the levels. LATs can also upload levels that you have created for your personal player house. For player house prices, say "/prices". If you have any further questions or concerns about levels, please contact Joker (Levels Team Admin).

Scripting Team
Hoyt.
The scripting team writes what are called "scripts". These scripts bring objects to life and make it easy to customize the game. Without scripts, a sword would do nothing. Scripts bring the entire game to life. They do basic things such as opening a door to more advanced things such as allowing you to purchase and customize your R2R (Room2Rent). There are generally two types of objects in Graal which have scripts: The first type are the non-player-characters (NPCs). The name 'NPC' is actually used for all visible objects in the game: monsters, stones, bushes, houses, ships, plants etc. The second type of scripted objects are the 'weapons'. Weapons include any items in the inventory of the player. Most of the time they are actually just scripts which control the movement of the player, display weapon graphics, or display menus. So there are objects in the game which have their own script, and players which have a set of scripts in their invisible backpack.

Event Developers
Current ET Dev team.
Event Developers (ET Dev) have a range of developing skills used for creating Events. Some ET Devs focus on the scripting of the event, while others focus on the levels or graphics used in the event.

Uploaders are responsible for uploading player graphics (heads, bodies, shields, forum icons, etc), as well as local guilds. Press F11 to upload graphics through the user-friendly uploading system. If you don't know how it works, PM the NPC server 'uploadingguide'. The format for uploading a personal file is as follows: personal_ACCOUNT_TYPE##.EXT. Example: personal_100Zero100_head3.png. The '##' component can only range from 0-9.
Spar Mod
Spar mods are active in the sparring community. They moderate spars for any cheating or disruptions. They also aim to develop an active interest in sparring.
Unholy Radio
These people, known as DJs, host music over the Unholy Nation radio occasionally for player entertainment. They are essentially the radio host and personality. At times, they will talk live on the radio and give out special prizes to players!
