36474, The Sea of Despair
Posted by Sugabear on Wed 31-Dec-69 07:00 PM
I brought this up while I was playing my Nexus mage, and it basicallyed got ignored by the imms. Why is the water portion of the Sea of Despair in 3 seperate areas? Part of it is in the Ashes of Nowhere, a different section of it is the Ysigrath and the third section of the water counts as part of that mountain path that is by Dagdan. Just seems a bit odd, and it really nerfed being a water focus shifter in Nexus

That's the way the areas were written. I won't say it will never change, but it's more of my time than it's worth to me to change it.
36478, Thank you for the answer

And thanks for everything that you do for the game. I'm sure you guys don't hear it enough.
36523, The ORIGINAL Sea of Despair...

Was written by a player named Ally back in the first age. I remember this, because she asked me for some ideas for some things to put in the area. The area has been in the game for a lot longer than some areas, so it's been around for more revamps of areas, and each time it changes a bit. I think there have been 3 FON changes alone since the area went live way back in like 95 or 96.

None of this is relevant really, I was just sharing a bit of CF trivia, some people may not be aware of.
36526, Technically untrue...

The "original" Sea of Despair was 5 rooms in the first Forest of NoWhere area that I wrote. Basically the 5 rooms that are west, northwest, north, northeast, and east of the dock now.

The Sea of Despair area that is due north of that (that connects to Nexus) came quite a bit later.
36527, *sigh* I miss FoN ranking :(

Almost as much I seem to keep missing Twist online! :)
36530, Hey, speaking of original FoN

What ever happened to that "Black Knight" character that was randomly "up" along that main path in FoN? I miss him.
36532, Yeah that area...

that was sort of a "I think X is missing from CF" and so I'll throw it in. I figured there weren't any "holy avenger" ish evil weapons out there, so I threw in an avg 21 (23?) evil only polearm and naturally who would be wielding such but a level 40ish black knight?

Who was aggro.

In an area meant for all levels to gain xp.

36534, Well sea of despair as it's own area. Don't try to confuse me with your facts! nt
