Was...SPLENDID! Why didn't anyone ever tell me that there were so many ornate rooms and a library to boot! I would've killed myself so much sooner!!!

Return to the land of the liveing and you will find out. :sweatdrop:

I have returned to the land of the living...the curse isnt so bad...I quite liked the Death Realm.
-
Great to see somebody likes it! Most people "curse" the Death Realm ;)
-
I have always liked it, even with the curse. Little dark at times, but the eventual addition of map-affecting torches will help with that. Then we can make it darker. >:)
-
It's a great place. There are so many secret little secret nooks and crannies... and that third floor that just looks so interesting.

You may want to check out the DR message board!
-
Sure! DR is very nice. (I used to spend hours trying to reach hidden places :D)
But I simply hate that curse! >:( (and Dakkru)

/me chuckles:
Indeed, the Death Realm is the best place to be. Who cares about the curse if you have the option to not leave the Death Realm.
/me stops for a moment and then adds:
Or you are not able to leave ...
[ Many thanks to Cherpow who made the current Death Realm and to Xillix and Co. for all the books there \\o//]

This thread is EXACTLY why I am so confused about the concept of dying in game. The only IC argument I have heard for not /die-ing is that it hurts and you wouldn't do this idly and whatnot. But there are so many compelling reasons to go there in-game. The Library, the trainers, the bugs that you can't escape in any other way, the fact that you are not invincible, quests that want you to go there to talk to people, etc.
<gripe>
I did find it endlessly frustrating the first time i ended up there, but I did take the time to look around for the several hours I was stuck. I also think that the Curse is a IC solution to a OOC "problem". The only reasons I have heard to justify it are that you shouldn't just kill yourself and to keep the miners from loading up and using DR as a "shortcut". Well, given how large Y'liakum is, I have been included to use this even without being loaded down with items.
</gripe>
But anyways, I agree with those here that think the DR is a nice area with much to explore.
-
Most of the mines aren't that bad of a run from the nearest furnace, anyway...
But, yeah, I've already stated my opinion of the DR once or twice on the forums. There's a thread like this one here -> http://hydlaa.com/smf/index.php?topic=33828.0
