So not only am I back home from the Impalong, but this is the first blog post of 2018! Happy New Year, guys and gals. \ud83d\ude42 Let’s hope this year will be a good one for the website.
\nThe Wurm team is celebrating the ushering in of 2018 as well, with two things: first, end of the year map dumps<\/a> for everyone to check out (and to spot your deed). And the second is a treasure hunt<\/a> happening in Xanadu (and all the other large servers). There are 10 chests on every server, with a few things (such as one rare champagne, fireworks, and a silver horse shoe. All at 99QL).
\nCompared to 2017’s Wurmxmas ‘gift'(even worse than 2010’s fireworks, as it was more unique), both of these things are much better (as effort was put into them).<\/p>\n

With that out of the way, it’s time to talk about the Glasshollow Impalong. One thing I want to say before I start. Instead of boring you guys with reading a SUPER-long blog post, I’ve decided to write a ‘brief’ overall review of what I’ve seen and felt.
\nSo let’s start, with another<\/em> thing I need to say (this time I’m getting to the point). And that thing, is..well, I was wrong by calling it the second best Impalong I’ve ever been in. So wrong that I put it in 3rd place (with 2010’s Impalong taking 2nd place).
\nThe reason, is Paulofdune wasn’t as active as he needed to be. He’s in charge of the two games (largest fish gets a New Knarr<\/strong>!!(Price is Right<\/em> reference FTW), and the codes in the Glasshollow starter town(that when given to Paul, awards random useful items such as sleep powders or a merchant contract). Even Rocky said that Paul should had been on (so it’s not just me).
\nI would had liked to see more games, and others agree with me. On top of it, the people that had found codes..Paul was never on in order to collect them. Should had been more than one games master there. The only thing that made the Impalong somewhat exciting, was the occasional Enkounter. Yet even those were starting to get stale (I could see it with less and less fighters coming to assist).
\nIt got so bad that Enki just stopped announcing there were mobs(with myself saying “Guys, the arena’s active”). The only way I knew he was spawning them in, is the sound of someone using a carving knife next to you.
\nNow I can see why the Shrimpalong ended earlier than 2016’s. It wasn’t<\/em> to ruin my plans to attend both, but to not bore people to death. And I never saw this before (because I never fully attended a typical Impalong from start to finish(outside of the Exo Impalong, which only happened one weekend)).<\/p>\n

The only really fun day I had, was probably Day 9, when a new person entered my life; Cindylou. And what I mean by “entering my life” is she wanted to go exploring outside of the Impalong. I volunteered to go with her (on foot). Had lots of fun, to the point we got ambushed by several mobs while heading to a place called ‘Westwood’. Sol’s also going down, and I insisted we get back. And we made it back by the evening. Became friends.
\nIt’s pretty cool that there’s someone else that loves exploring as much as I do.
\nYet I also discovered she lives in Pristine. Half of me feels “she just lost all of my respect” (of the less than fun time I had while trying to find a horse). The other half wonders “why Pristine of all servers?” She tells me she likes it here. I told her about how I couldn’t find a horse, and how I spoke to this group who said they could lone me a horse for a silver. She claims there’s lots of wild horses there. So maybe something has changed on the server. Perhaps someone imported Steppe times, and now it has grown. Definitely something to check out.
\nSpeaking of which, I’m actually going to be doing that the next time I see her on. I also invited her to come with me to check out my deed (before I tear it down for the redesign project). She’s quite interested to see it.<\/p>\n

.
\nAnd finally two more things to close this first post of 2018, as the Impalong was ending, I was doing Plan B. Unfortunately, the Marble vein in Glasshollow’s starter town’s public mine has been greatly overworked and got mined out in 43 hits. So I’m forced to ask the Wurm community (might even ask Saint) if there’s any public mines that have Marble.
\nAnd the final final thing(I swear), is…a more somber note. To remember my friend ‘Emeriss the Ferocious’. It’s now been a year since she passed away after being slain by the hunters. I’ve been meaning to visit her grave sometime today. Though she will be remembered with a new bridge (once the redesign project is completed).
\nRest in peace, Emeriss. You are gone, but you’ll never be forgotten.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
