Exploring Aran Isle

Anthatal has explored 84 above ground areas, and as far as I can tell, she's been everywhere...

Has she missed any?

[I confess this is by far the best server I've ever played on for solo exploration, the areas are quite beautifully arranged, and the temptation to look over the next hill is quite irresistible.
I know, I know, I'm supposed to be RPing!]

Well there are 85 so you've missed one.

[EDIT]: I did a serious count and looks like over 100. Also adding and changing some areas constantly so you'll have to go back and check them all again anyway just in case .

Excellent! Just what I wanted to hear!

Excellent! Now we have a PC well versed with all the tacks and paths throughout the land.

IC Tourguide maybe?

Think you might have to buy a caravan and start taking PCs out on a magical mystery tour of Aran...

Like Andy B says, things are being added and tweaked, so dont expect those lovely quiet valleys to remain ... lonely ...

I have to agree, I find the server a great reminder for my old days when I used to walk in the hills of the Lake District and over the Pennines in the UK ... Of course that used to keep trim and healthy, I now have to contend with searing heat, blazing sunshine and rocky scrub. So now im just fat.

Yeah its great for exploration.

My previous character Howl had explored 84 areas in detail as well Although he'd been a half dozen more but wasnt safe to stop and have a detailed look.
The best fun was learning shortcuts to and from places. The reactions of "Hey... how did you get here so quick?" and "Where did you come from?" were always amusing.

You will find htat areas are changing, but we are not notifying people of such. More fun if you find them yourself than handed on a platter. Previous areas that were barren as such are taking on a life,and may need smart play to wander through. Other areas are there just because they are cool and add to the world.

Builders alike are creating things and they are slowly creeping in to the world. What I have seen so far is rather sexy.

They created a giant brothel?

No.

Theres a calender of greased up almost naked DMs and builders knocking about on the server... Very sexy.

This image I did not need! EWW!

*ponders*

I imagine that trying to use a keyboard while greased up would be rather challenging.

Even more so if you are naked and trying to sit a well oiled bottom on a leather chair.

..... Why?! Why Hatter, just why?! I curse my active imagination. I need to get a leather chair though, snazzy.

Reminds me of a DM I had ages ago who made a joke about his crotchless DM panties. I'm very glad that was online and not in person DMing.

You need an Uberon chair like mine *nods head wisely*

UBERON - for all your professional gaming needs...

It strikes me that perhaps being oiled up is just a means of faster minion drops on unsuspecting players.

Whoops. Where'd that goblin go?

You mean where'd that Ancient Red Dragon go.

They arent as slippery. You'd need a lot of oil.

See? DwS has been converted to the awesomeness of Uberon.....

Heh i am excited i just found a +2 weapon of little uberness.. small things ..small minds.. er...

Well, my mage has mapped the entirety of Aeon. Its pretty darn big! A few broken transitions I've come across, too. And noticed some areas have changed even between the time I started mapping and when I finished.

Can you send us a list of the broken transitions?

Yeah, I think I found exactly 3, but will recheck them tomorrow to make sure none were lag-related. Then I'll PM them to you.
