Started right back up from where I left off (even the wind hadn’t changed). Saint was offline at this time(had just missed him a minute ago). On the East side of this lake, I saw a cave canal not on the map. Decided to follow it, trying to regain my personal rep of being an explorer. All it did, was lead me out to the West coast. Turned around and went back through to Mercury Lake.
Started following the coast again. Saw the corpse of a fog spider near one of the two bridges. Nothing really interesting on the shoreline apart from a few castles. Went back through the cave canal into the South Sea. As I continued along the coast (heading for ‘Southwind Heights’), GL-Freedom started getting active, with everyone talking about PvP and armor sets. One even mentions about “wild”. Wait WHAT?! The Wild server is still active?! Though as I think upon it, it’s still the Epic server (just some folks still call it Wild). I decided to chirp in when they were talking about dragon armor making PvP pointless, of how I wish dragon armor was removed completely, mentioning everyone I spoke to (sellers) wore dragon armor, and how “it makes me feel noobish”. One says “good keeps noob in its place”…I stopped talking after that. Harsh much…? Another great reason to stay in the Freedom Isles (PvE)!
Noticed the wind had shifted from a south light breeze, to a north light breeze. Because THAT’S realistic, RIGHT?! Only in Wurm! Passed by another dead ‘market’, though this one was funny. It was a ran down castle, something about Amsterdam. I still remember that really good video called “history of the world, i guess”, and said “‘Damn’ said Amsterdam”.. We got A DEADLY LASER that pillaged our stuff! (this isn’t from the video, just something I thought was funny and would be part of one of those Youtube Poops).
Made it around the mountain wall into Southwind Heights. Near the deed ‘Hidden Valley’ (that wasn’t so hidden), was a mine entrance that was really close to the water level. This was the canal to get further into the heights, of these coves and stuff. The cave canal, has really seen better days. I had to worm my way around a lot of collapsed walls to get to the exit. But unlike other cave canals I’ve seen, this one ends at an angle going West, entering a deed named ‘Retirement Plan’. Interesting. The place felt..dead. Lots of mountainous shorelines.
Directly ahead of me, was another cave canal. This one isn’t on the map. Went for it. Come on! BE AN EXPLORER! This canal was a lot better maintained, with reinforced walls on both sides(using veins as natural supports). Came out the other side, and felt..lost. Fuck me. I HATE NOT KNOWING WHERE I AM AT ALL TIMES!! D:{ …I told myself to juuuust, RELAX, and enjoy the scenery. And I did enjoy it. There were a few people in local here, but I decided not to ask for directions (again, just enjoy the view).
Ahead of me in a secluded area, looked like an abandoned deed. No structures, just a fence. There were a few mobs around (mostly bears). Closed in and was about to moor and hop out of my boat to deal with the bears, then suddenly I notice “You enter ‘Deed Name Here'” in the Event tab. Fuck. Did a 180 and headed back.
I managed to find the canal I used to get here, and got back to areas on the map. Used the other canal ahead of me and back out into the ocean! Yay, no longer lost. Swung around the coast, passing by a small Marsh island by the coast, and.. Day 2 of exploration is completed!
“Wait, done already? Why?” you might be asking, and my answer to you is that’s what happens when the server is small. However, I wasn’t completely done with Release..not yet. It will be continued in ‘Part 2.5’.
