Probably pertinent, I just saw this message: The waters of the Sea of Despair shimmer and glisten with purity, turning a sparkling, clear azure blue.

Other people saw it at the same time and were equally confused



The sea of despair is now known as the Crystal Sea!
Soll2006-12-22 17:01:21
Tentatively. Only the top layer is the Crystal Sea, currently.
Genevieve2006-12-22 17:03:23
True. edit: second layer was just cleansed


The Crystal Sea sparkles and shimmers as its azure waters become more clear and pure.



edit: The Crystal Sea shimmers and sparkles with pristine, azure blue waters, its transformation complete.

edit: Spectre Isle seems to grow more pale and still, losing some of its malevolence

Wow, if only there were some sort of topic where someone could have posted information like that that I would have seen had I been logged in...

Why is this happening?

12.2.6.3 THE SEA OF DESPAIR

Once the Crystal Sea, now known as the Sea of Despair, this ocean is the
smaller, eastern counterpart of the Inner Sea. When Princess Marilynth
destroyed the Pool of Stars, she wiped the ancient city of Celest from the
island at the centre of the sea. The sea became blighted, both by the
ghosts that haunt it, and by the tainted waters that flow down into the
sea from the surrounding lands.


It was the Crystal Sea first...

So methinks time is reversing, thats why the blasted lands are turning into a flowerpatch and Magnagora has butterflies. Glomdoring is also changing from dark forest to normal forest with annoying little birds.

WTF? what? where and when? *muter* so confused... when did this start happening?
Unknown2006-12-22 20:55:31
Go take a swim and see...nice little dolphins waving around.

Tully got jabbed by an irritated Magnagoran after suggesting that they turn the new sea into a tourist attraction. Crystal Seaworld, anybody? laugh.gif

Why hasn't verse 968 been shared IC? Seems to be quite an important one... as it looks to me like it contains the clue about which object we need to solve this problem.

The Crystal Sea.
The bright sun shines down, blanketing you with its life-giving warmth. You see
exits leading northeast, southwest, and west.
A wave surges across the surface of the Sea of Despair.
A powerful current rushes past you.

Yeah, and on the Spectre Isle:

Rocky bluff overlooking the Sea of Despair.

You are joking, right? unsure.gif

Nope, they flew out of the forest, onto the highway, then to Balach, and then to the Sea of Despair/Crystal Sea.

Initial Costs:
Power: 50000 Gold: 250000
Commodities: marble 100 steel 100 wood 100
Monthly Upkeep Cost:
Power: 2500 Gold: 12500
Status: Built
Ability: +25% XP Gain on Aether Bubbles.


That upkeep seems pretty high. I don't think it'll be easy to stay positive with one construct, will be quite difficult with two. The most positive day in Celest's old powerlogs is +1900-ish, and that was with people channeling energy from one of the lost city nodes into the pool. The other days are all quite negative, but I'm sure thats because of recent events. Even so, it'll be a struggle to keep the nexuses from going backwards, I think.
Unknown2006-12-23 04:20:46
Maybe that's the intent. For there to be power use and--hey--actually resource concerns?

Because don't most of the Nexii have about 1million power?

And this will prevent it from being a "griefing" tool--make strategic and tactical plans, without it being an out-and-out never-ending war.

Sooo... Think you guys will be building another one? Or will Glomdoring just learn to cope with serpents breaking out of their nexus and terrorizing the commune? ninja.gif
