Ok, there are alot of rumors going around; and they are quickly growing in numbers. I\'ve made this thread to answer as many of these as I could, along with have you answer the ones that you know. I\'ll start by addressing some rumors I\'ve heard while playing.

Here is the format of these rumors and answer.

Rumor:~~~~~~~~~~~
Origin(fix this spelling please):~~~~~~
Truth behind the rumor:~~~~~~

Ok, let me begin.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
~Rumor: There is a hells gate (also known as bronze gate) that is told to open up and let out creatures that will bring our destruction.
~Origin: Shalmanesar was the one who told me this one, with many people backing him up.
~Truth: I\'ve yet to seen these gates, but from what I\'ve heard from quite a few people, they have seen these gates and confirm its existance.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
~Rumor: There are ways to travel outside of Hydlaa without taking the path through the forest.
~Origin: Stfrn (game master), Rakna, and Sukarie
~Truth: Yes, there is. Many know of ways to get around the rules of the mapping on planeshift and can actually travel outside of the known paths. I myself have traveled on these unknown paths and managed to actually journey UNDER the forest itself.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
~Rumor: The Refining of Gold, Platinum, Coal, and Iron ore is now being implimented (used) and we are now allowed to make our own weapons.
~Origin: Many wondering travelers
~Truth: The refinery process is still in testing by the game masters and is not for use by gaming characters as of yet. But soon enough we WILL be able to make our own weapons....given the right knowledge (hint hint)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
~Rumor: You are allowed to use the furnace in the other village to refine gold, BUT you need to read from a book to learn how to do this.
~Origin: Many wondering travelers
~Truth: As the last one, you arnt able to use the furnace to refine ore as of yet, but the truth behind the book itself its infact TRUTH!...few of the GMs own these books that will teach you the ways to use the furnace. Doesnt mean you go asking them to see the book, but just know that soon enough we will all have access to the furnace.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
~Rumor: There are mushrooms ontop of the statue in the center of hydlaa. Rumor has it that a specific character put them there.
~Origin: Eolius
~Truth: The mushrooms were NOT a product of any specific character, but instead a product of the rain fall that has been occuring in hyldaa recently. I\'m not sure if it is a glitch or not, but they are there from the rain, and they will remain there till a GM gets them down, or helps a player get up there.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I\'ll add more as I hear more rumors on the game (I update as much as possible)

PM ME IF YOU HEAR OF ANYMORE RUMORS, and I\'ll investigate them

chaos is right...it did that for me too...I now have no other programs open except aim and planeshift (and currently this)

And If anyone else gets the error, when signing in, that tells you that the server failed....then get rid of the updater that chaos posted, and redownload it...thats what I did, and it works now :-)

Ok, its not working now.....its saying that the server failed :-(....it hates me

I opened chaos\'s new download, but instead of it downloading, it just opened a new browser window and showed a bunch of letters and words and numbers......what do I do?

Its not that its not available, its that there are some small problems with the servers as of now....not sure exactly what it is, but hopefully its fixed soon

Lol
(obvious lack of social life)
Hey, thats ok, I dont have a social life really either...and yea, playing the game would be cooler than anything, but you gotta value the guys need for a higher education....never know, he could even be learning more about how to fix the problems that we\'re havin in the game. :-)

Cool...so, if it isnt up tonight, should we be upset, or just optimistic towards the next day? lol Just kidding....Its nice that someone would take time out of their schedule to fix bugs for us :-)
