Post by: KwartzTheKran on February 28, 2005, 11:37:51 am: good luck, Hydlaa has all turned black and people are randomly falling off the end of the world as well.

I been on advising duty last night and there been a lot of great blackness problem, although I investigated, I myself found nothing...

Perhaps, it\'s Black Blindness, sent by Cabal...or worse Dark Empire! Or it\'s a punishment from Talad and Laanx themselves on the eveil scourges of Yliakum!
Title:
Post by: Harkin on February 28, 2005, 12:09:06 pm: pffttt... we all know its the beginning of the apocolypse, The Great Wipe is coming....

so better make plans before we are all sent back to the stone age...

Kidding :)

Post by: Tharizdun on February 28, 2005, 01:37:02 pm: Isnt it always the way.. a bright new world full of hope and vigour with so much promise.. until some idiot summons Cthulhu and all life is devoured. I thought those dark cultists sneaking around the back of the Laanx temple were up to no good, what with all the chanting, pentagrams and blood sacrifices!

Post by: Jakob on February 28, 2005, 04:17:22 pm: Even once if you can get through the hole, then you run into floating trees and an invisible wall... I\'d post a pic of the floating trees, but my screenshots are always just black screens.
Title:
Post by: Kixie on February 28, 2005, 06:11:21 pm: Wow, this is insane :P

No official words by the devs yet? This is kind of cool, but very strange too. With the looming wipe, I\'m quick to suspect that it may have something to do with it; but who knows. Then again everyone thought that CB was close once the fire infront of the temple bugged up and looked like comets in the sky.

Kool beans for the discovery, kudos to anyone who gets across. ;)
Title: Kool beans ! i get kool beans for the screenies !!!!
Post by: Cutter on February 28, 2005, 07:54:02 pm: no official word. But moogie did say it wasent supposed to happen.

Perhaps we should start backing up are pre-update files ?

ill try and get some pics of the blackout,and floating trees,if only i had a rope.....
Title:
Post by: John_Thazer on February 28, 2005, 08:06:50 pm: It is begining to become quite often phenomenon...Black Blindness must be stopped!!! To arms forces of the Light!!!
Title:
Post by: Jakob on March 01, 2005, 02:25:53 am: I actually did make it across the hole once (I could see the giant gray rock sticking up behind a mountain), so I ran towards the giant rock, but it wasn\'t getting closer. There is an invisible wall. We apparently aren\'t allowed to enter Ojaveda.
PS. Does anyone know why I can\'t take screenshots without using the prt scr button?
Title: The end is near!
Post by: Jonalber on March 01, 2005, 03:18:40 am: I was on the other side when the apocalypse came. The ground dropped. I fell and was killed. In my free-fall I saw the world being devoured! The Great Pol-y-gon E-dit-or had destroyed many verticies!

There is evil on the other side of the sink hole! Evil I tell you!

Cower and wait for the GM\'s. They can save us...
Title:
Post by: master2010 on March 01, 2005, 03:56:56 am: NO!

The evil is in the plaza!

And it collapsed the road so we can\'t escape to ojaveda!
Title:
Post by: Efflixi Aduro on March 01, 2005, 04:10:57 am: Dude what if this is like hackers or somthing.
Title:
Post by: Sarrow on March 01, 2005, 04:54:34 am: Well It seems ojeveda is in a very frantic state of panic. But these sudden events of geography split baffles me, it seems as if there are tectonic plates underneath this land of crystal and they are moving! Can we say landshift?
Title:
Post by: Efflixi Aduro on March 01, 2005, 05:29:30 am: he he he Evolution is occuring before our very eyes ;)
Title:
Post by: Harkin on March 01, 2005, 11:58:02 am: i say data and polygons are being eaten by The Great Devourer, definitely more proof of an apocolypse!
Title:
Post by: bitula on March 01, 2005, 01:42:25 pm: I guess it\'s just a bug. Post it into bug report, and I guess they\'ll fix it ASAP (If it\'s not already fixed) as it\'s high priority.
Title:
Post by: XeNoDeMoS on March 01, 2005, 02:20:35 pm: i jumped in the hole and its really dark there.there are also floating trees o.O
Title:
Post by: confused on March 01, 2005, 06:02:26 pm: What so strange about it. A stalitite just fell down from the roof! :D
Title:
Post by: Denivi on March 02, 2005, 04:26:07 am: Actually, that giant crater is my fault.

I was heading to Oja, and just happened to run across Zanoxx. As most of you know, he\'s been training his STR very hard, and decided to show me his progress. He got himself all pumped up, and... well, I couldn\'t resist.

I poked him, and he popped.

So, poor Zanoxx - but at least we still have a giant... uh, hole in the ground to remember him by...

You have just improved my life by 12%! I love you! :D

Post by: Jonalber on March 02, 2005, 05:33:29 am: I\'ve just received word via carrier eglath that Ojeveda is gone. Destroyed. Few survived. Those that lived have fled to the ancient ruins to the north.

Word is a great mage is doing battle with the evil.

Pray the mage succeeds...
Title:
Post by: Sarrow on March 02, 2005, 05:36:10 am: That corrupteed city should have fallen years ago, gues the war has begun.
Title:
Post by: askkasha on March 02, 2005, 02:36:18 pm: perhaps the rogues have finally succeeded in destroying that fair city. i pray for the inhabitants that they escaped unharmed.
Title:
Post by: confused on March 02, 2005, 05:01:35 pm: Hopefully I be able to login with the correct client version to actually witness this wonderfull sinkhole.

The question is did the sink hole reach right through the huge stalitite dropping the contents onto the sea below in the huge cavern below.

Post by: sesmi on March 04, 2005, 01:24:45 am: Oh no!

I was in Ojaveda when I logged on today!

If I had known I would have stayed!

Edit: Ojaveda is still standing!

When I logged in not an hour ago i was in Ojaveda!

So it\'s still there! There is still hope!
Title:
Post by: Sarrow on March 04, 2005, 01:37:06 am: Go and explore Ojeveda and the oja road. Then come back here and post pictures.

Odd, I spawned in Ojaveda and fell right through the world. Well, actually, I was just in front of the entrance on the path...maybe that was the difference.

Post by: Sarrow on March 08, 2005, 12:35:07 am: Wasn\'t there a fenki NPC out on oja road in the ruins..hate to be her :)
Title:
Post by: Jonalber on March 08, 2005, 05:37:11 am: Now that the Great Implementors have returned victorious from their campaign against the LinkDead Hordes perhaps we can ask that they send someone to investigate this sink hole.

Let me see... here it is:

\"Zifmia the Implementors\"

That spell worked once for me, long, long ago.
Maybe it\'ll work again...
Title:
Post by: Robinmagus on March 08, 2005, 06:53:04 am: Well..is there any way to cross? i have traveled INSIDE the hole but never gotten through...i really wanna get to get to ojaveda right now
Title:
Post by: Kithplana on March 08, 2005, 08:24:53 am: Unfortunately, Ojaveda has been severed from the road, and the road blocked from Hydlaa by the chasm and an invisible wall. The brave (or the foolish, which one am I?) may attempt a crossing of the chasm; it is possible, even easy, but you cannot get far. Even if you were to pass the invisible barrier, the road to Ojaveda is much more dangerous than it was. Sinkholes similar to the one we all know have opened up everywhere, creating steep cliffs. A great darkness has fallen about the land, so that it is difficult to discern where one is treading. The only good thing is that the few monsters, and the rogues, who managed to survive are plain to see, and are unlikely to sneak up upon an unwary adventurer in the dark. But alas, the road goes nowhere; the gateway through the spire is not to be found, and it is an exercise in futility attempting to find any trace of it. Alas, we will have to wait until the Powers That Be lift whatever evil magic has befallen the lands, and restore to us our pathway to Ojaveda.

Post by: Foresteer on March 08, 2005, 11:01:25 am: Thats all O.o? this sinkhole thingie has been around for a while... and its easy to traverse XD dunno what caused it but its not near as dangerous as ya\'ll are making it :P (either that or i just rock at getting from point A to point B :D )
Title:
Post by: Scots Saseg on March 08, 2005, 12:06:14 pm: Any one know when the road will be fixed ??? it\'s getting frustrating now most of what i want to train and buy is only available in Ojaveda.If the roads gonna be down a lot longer cant some of the items and training be moved then ?? or maybe a handy kind GM to teleport those that need it ??.
I enjoy playing PS it\'s fun but that road\'s doin ma nut in.
Title:
Post by: KwartzTheKran on March 08, 2005, 12:54:24 pm: I find it hard to believe anyone can make it across;
a.) Aforementioned reasons
b.) Because If you get down onto it you are actually in a mountain you cannot get out of
c.) If you find a way to not get stuck in the mountain you have to be able to jump like hell to get into ojapathway to Akkaio (like 40x higher than possible)
Title:
Post by: confused on March 08, 2005, 05:20:24 pm: Well I just took a little stroll into Ojaveda, passing Grok Idon the NPC kran and a few rogues at the statimite tunnel. Besides only seemed to be filled with rogues and other NPCs, I did not come across any sinkholes, not even a tiny one nor invisible barriers.

I been able to do so from 2 weekends ago (the 26th Feb). I am still trying to find this sinkhole as it is not on the road to Ojaveda from Hydlaa. Could someone tell me where the heck this sinkhole is, I would really like to have a look at it.

Now I am on my way back to Hydlaa.

Post by: Scots Saseg on March 08, 2005, 09:43:51 pm: You must be one of the lucky Linux users that dont have the sinkhole us poor Win users have it though ?(
