My Explorations *SPOILERS*

[Ahriman]

Ok, now dont say I didnt want ya, but there are few spoilers in here.

I am listing the most amazing things I have discovered since the update:

The first will be most amazing, the last will be not-so amazing

1. After you explore Ojaroad for a LOOOONG time, you will come to a loading screen, and will see a land with a revamped texturte. New trees, ground, etc. You will see a... GIANT WATERFALL COMING FROM A GIANT CLIFF-ROCK MOUNTAIN!!! There will be a small road to the top, with somethings that look like houses on the road. I haven't gone to the top, as I fell and died and now am stuck in DR, trying to get out cause of the crashes.

2. The new ojaroads.

3. The pond and river.

4. Ive also discovered the Lag.

5. The DR crashes. XD

You were not on Oja Road.  You were on BD Road, which goes in the opposite direction from Hydlaa.  Go out Hydlaa's east gate to get to the new Oja Road.

[Thoughtcrime]

I've also noticed a quaint little campfire. Anyone up for s'mores and storytime?

I found an abandoned mining town, complete with a mine

I am still looking for that town.

I found a circle of rogues hanging out together and a pit of ulbers in a mountian. I also found two hiding spots to hide in. One is in a huge pile of rocks, and another is a small room in the cavern.

Ah, I wonder if that's the town that one of the guards in East Hydlaa said he came from?

perhaps, it's a nice town, you can see it much better from higher up *NUGDE NUDGE WINK WINK* 

I also found a relocated grok idon, and some more ruins.

Where exactly is the yilakumian border? I'm almost certain some of the game is beyond it now.

[Karyuu]

Yliakum border? Yliakum is almost the whole world. Did you mean Hydlaa?

Hopefully Grok's improved his wares with the new location...I'm tired of seeing nothing but sabres and puny potions.

Yilakum is only the large stalagtite. Since the bronze doors take you outside that, I thought either when you enter the large crack or when you go beyond the building there you exit yilakum.

[Karyuu]

Hm..

The Bronze Doors, located along the perimeter of the first level, access the Stone Labyrinths, a complex of both natural and artificial caves as ancient as the town itself. It is sure that some of them lead to places similar to Yliakum and even to the surface, but nobody ever came back to report such a discovery. The Stone Labyrinths are one of the sources of food and resources for the city.

We don't have the Bronze Doors yet, but a military fortress that guards the passageway to the rest of the world from Labyrinth invasions. So we haven't reached a perimeter yet because we don't have the BD fully in the game, but we're close, while still being fully within the Yliakum border.

[Pestilence]

Just wondering what the lookout points there are doing seeing it looks like it's build to lookout into Yliakum instead of for forces coming from the other side

[The Wandering Djinn]

I have been sort of hoping that the entire 8 levels of the inside of the Stalactite would be rendered and explorable first, so that the existing races would each have their own 'home' areas. As according to the History of Yliakum.

Then maybe the Stone Labyrinths becoming partially explorable perhaps by the mechanism of an expanded Quests System or even as part of a true in-game Role Play environment.

Then maybe the areas beyond the Bronze Doors...

Then even out onto the surface of the planet - with the 'finished' game then available on DVD or equivalent storage media

Finally, then a series of expansion packs - themed on perhaps all the Epochs and history so you can create characters living in places where the races [other than Lemurs and Krans] were at before they were brought to Yliakum by Vodul....

....Tee-Hee, this dreaming is maybe setting me up on a collision course with bitter disappointment!  

But, Hey! - dreams are free.... and this -what we have- is just so amazing!  

Thanks, PlaneShift Development Team and everyone else involved!

You don't understand this game at all do you? it will never be on any physical media device.

It was a light-hearted post made in jest I doubt very much that Djinn was serious.
