I’m currently writing from “Oakvale’s History”, a town in the middle of where Oakvale is now. Leaning against a stone house, named “In memory of Oakvale”, while watching my boat sitting by the token.
I’ve really been enjoying this vacation to the West Coast so far. The things I’ve seen and done are amazing.
But sadly, part of this vacation wasn’t so good. I’ll go over that later in this blog post. First, how this got started…
After waiting an entire weekend for angry to be ready so we could see the Great Pyramid of Northern Light, I finally went by myself yesterday. Angry doesn’t care about Wurm anymore.
I had to go home and deal with my fields first though. Got there. Saw ALL of them where harvestable. What luck. Got them all harvested, gave a pumpkin to my neighbor, and then headed back to Small Bears where I set sail towards the West Coast.
I went south, thinking it would be quicker to get there. But I went the long way. Still saw a few things I didn’t before. I even met a family of three Lava Spiders, who wanted to invite me to dinner at the Hazardous Desert where the champ hostiles train to kill us. I turned down the offer after hearing I was the dinner. 😛
Finally emerging from the Southeastern Passage(which is a fucking landbridge but I was able to get by it), I followed the coast southward, where angry logs in and does a few things while I continue to head West.
Soon, approaching the western ocean, I check the map and spot a small island. I tell angry about it, and he presumes I want to live there, and tells me to pick him up at Ahkenaten. That’s when I smack into this uncharted, small 2×2 island. It’s nothing but dirt and sand, and a rowboat named ‘Water Snail’. It’s owned by ‘Brutalbeetle’. Soon angry logs off and as on Benie now, telling me again to pick him up at Ahkenaten.
Quite a few, ugly things happened after this. I rather not go into details. Only I didn’t wanna live there. Due to it’s… size. He freaks out and shit. Later, I FINALLY find the island on the map. And it’s deeded.
Leaving it, I head towards the coast and go around. As I’m going up, I’m getting a fucking strong northern breeze. Angry then tells me Poonager’s there, and he starts talking to him. It continues to get more and more ugly for angry as I’m trying to hurry up.
There’s another fucking landbridge in my way, identical to the last one. I get by it. Still getting that strong north wind. Angry says that Poon’s now talking about Darkdot and stuff.
Finally, I reach him. He tells me not to talk to anyone. But I’m on my vacation here. So I start talking to them and he’s yelling in his PM. Soon I’m forced to leave, and leave I did, going 13+ km/h with the north wind.
As I headed back to the landbridge, angry kept on with the drama about Darkdot and Yehosh and Poon. Soon I had enough of trying to calm him down and his “I can’t”‘s, and flip to my Village tab, letting him talk to himself. 5 minutes later, he says “good luck” to me and logs off.
I really wish I can help him, but I’m trying to enjoy my vacation! I wish both of them would just forget about this and move on.
But still, I need to talk to Poonager first. So after I finally got in the western ocean, and parked near what was Bravo Lima Lighthouse, I started talking with him about this. How he made him leave.
Poon is convinced angry made Yehosh and Vixey leave. To tell you the truth, I don’t know what did now. He claims angry used alts for grieving. So now I know this will never end. Angry said to me that if I found Bennie Bay, he would come back.
So, anyway. Back to the vacation. Bravo Lima Lighthouse is now called ‘Eastside Village’. Not much to see as I waited for Sol to rise. Once it did I was back on my boat, heading for New Westport. Getting there I docked and explored. It was very pretty. The town though was just called ‘Westport’. I was disappointed though how… small it was. Here I pictured Westport being the central hub for access to the Wild server. Though it has some awesome views.
Finally..it was onto my destination. To see the Pyramid of Northern Light.
Time went on as I was searching for the bay. Not to mention a beam of light shooting into the sky. I didn’t see either. Eventually I did find the bay by docking my boat at this small, deedless town, on a hill. I walked over the hill, and… it looked like something out of a show from the Discovery Channel about Egyptians. The shore was…covered in stone. And I could easily see the ‘pyramid’. I immediately got back on my boat and went around the hill, getting into NL Bay.
The place looked like a National Monument, open to the public. After finding a parking spot, I pulled out my camera and went exploring as the knowledge-hungry Wyr…human I am. 🙂
I was very disappointed though when I saw the pyramid. I expected a beam of white light shooting into the sky from the top. All there was, is the ‘Colossus of Northern Light’. I’m guessing you can only find that on the Wild server.
After getting a few more pictures, I found Robfox’s house. Named ‘Robfox’s foxhole’. Cool name.
I then headed back to my boat where I logged off.
So this is Part 1 of 2, of my West Coast vacation. After I visit Waffle Bay and re-enter the north ocean, heading back to Small Bears, I will be writing part 2. Until then, have fun reading.
