Here is a less opinion based version of that review:
--- if everyone thinks is best I will post this on GraalNews.com

Today I’m reviewing Arkland Empires.
Gothic Diablo, the PR Admin will be my tour guide.

“We have a classic world thats called Elan. A modern world called Lunensis.
And a Midevil world called Arkland”

I started with Elan, the classic world.
In the mall there’s elevators, escalators, blue tables and lots of items for sale such as a boom box, portable gralats (you turn in to a gralat), a “poo chunk” (so you can throw poo at people) and the AE 8 ball “ask it a question and see what strange answers you get”.
I think I’ve seen enough from the Stardock Mall.

I cruised around the world of Elan and it seems to be a very stereotypical classic server, full of Guild Houses, Spar Zones, PK Zones all that stuff and a lot of item shops etc.
That’s enough of Elan lets move onto the next world.

Okay so now I’m in Arkland, the medieval world which I have been informed has just recently turned Pirate.
Inside the first house is a new tileset which uses a lot of colours and styles which just makes for an interesting look.
Outside there are lots of are banana trees and bananas and coconuts scattered on the floor.
The beach is pretty well done, a bit different and the sand acts as shallow water.
A little further east I found a big boat which is graphically nice and just near by I found a native, tribal looking men speaking their very own language which is really English written backwards.

Finally I took the trip to Lunensis.
The first thing I saw in Lunensis was giant space looking cars that are owned by players, cool concept because they can be left on the street which adds to the feel of the modern city approach.
In Lunensis you get very confused as to whether you’re on Arkland Empires or Era, the tileset is almost the same. Other similarities such as the Vending Machines kept me thinking.
I took a trip to see the Gun Shop, there’s a lot of different looking guns and ammunition.

Overall this server has disappointed me, there’s nothing original about their original idea of three worlds because they all have ideas stolen from other servers. In my opinion this rates in the worst servers I’ve ever seen and I’m rating it 1/10 – the 1 is rewarded for the hard-work in producing such a large overworld.

I will be wanting to re-review Arkland Empires after its completion as they have promised a lot of things for the future which I would be interested in seeing.
