Title: DR
Post by: Myrthe on June 30, 2006, 02:13:44 am
about the DR...right before you enter the portal to...wherever...life, i guess...i once saw a monster(this was the only time i had ever played the game and it was for like 20 mins at a friend's) anyway i saw this monster and my friends had never seen a monster there b4...are there supposed to be monsters in DR?

also, i went exploring in DR and there were two ways i could go. they were right past the portal or around there somewhere. where do they lead?

It was a carkarass.  Basically a little flying mini-dragon thing.  Only spawns in the DR, and it's prone to falling out of sight.

You could just go in-game after the update is ready and go exploring, no need to ask this stuff.
And about the monsters: DR means Death Realm, of course all sorts of hideous monsters would lurk in there.

And yes, the Carkarass tends to get lost  ;D
I can remember it was once stuck inside the portal for weeks.

You mean by the exit portal where there are stairs going up either side?  Well at present -- who knows what will be in the future -- they just lead to another platform which really doesn't go very far.  So you're not really missing much but it can make a good hiding spot.   ;)

You know, as a member of the Explorers Guild, you should encourage people to go exploring themselves instead of just telling them this ;)
Just a slight hint.

ThomPhoenix, we definitely encourage people to explore on their own :) But it doesn't hurt to share the knowledge sometimes either.

That's future stuff, not this update or the one after it.

Of course, and I encourage it too, but is it that hard to just take the stairs on the left of the portal and check out what's there instead of asking?
If this guy would be running around Ojaroad for weeks without being able to actually find Ojaveda, that would be a bit different.

Anyway, good luck exploring the Death Realm and Yliakum!

A dragon?... In Yliakum?... I knew it! I knew there were dragons although everybody denied it's existence because they've never seen one! But now proove is given... there are dragons in Yliakum... well, only one, but still...

It's not a dragon, and it shouldn't be called a dragon. It's a Carkarass :)

true but maby their related so i guess it can be considered one :D

Since there are no dragons in Yliakum, characters cannot make connections to them. Calling a carkarass a dragon is going OOC, unless your character comes from another plane where such things exist.

And the groffel isn't a mini-griffin...  ;)

Come to think of it, we seem to pefectly allow mythical animals from other mythos' so long as our versions are miniaturized.  :D

Wasnt the crystal blue-logo a dragon.. I might be wrong

--> minurized? Reminds me of Serious Sam : 2nd encounter. There you have places with mini-versions of the greatest monsters

I assume he meant the loading screen to molecular blue? It had a fenki and such fighting a dragon-like figure.

are all you guys sure that theres no maps of PS at all? even on like fan sites and stuff?
Title: Re: DR
Post by: Robinmagus on July 01, 2006, 12:02:50 am
There are tons of maps. many guild sites have them in member only areas and such. Ask the right person *in private* and they might share a *private* map with you..in *private*

would that be a hint?
Title: Re: DR

Public maps with "spoiler" locations aren't allowed on these forums. If you want to post a stylized one, hand-drawn to actually look like an old map (but again, no spoiler information) you're free to. No one has done so yet.

but you can put anything you want in a PM, correct?

oooo a chalenge.  I thought something like that already existed?  If it doesn't, I might just pull out some gimp/photoshop tutorials and give it a go.  :) ... although Mabye I should wait until the update, so I'm not mappings whats not going to be there shortly.  ;D
