So the recent-ish Galadon revamp that occurred seemed to be met with open arms. I think it was particularly because the layout stayed nearly the same and the only changes were updates to descriptions and the sort. My question to the masses is this:

What is another older area that you guys (our players) enjoy and would like to see preserved and just get some minor changes and major cosmetic updates to?

Roughly a week from now I will assemble a list based on this feedback and then put it up for a final vote.

There were a fair amount of good suggestions in this list, and the end result is slightly different than a vote. Instead of taking all of the mystery out of it, I will say that a few of the suggested areas are going to be revamped in the near future!

It's a shame when you get "Nothing here" when looking directions in such atmospheric areas.

These are all very good suggestions, and I agree they could be freshened up. It's very important though that the areas basically stay the same, for those who still play the game for that old nostalgia factor. Balator specifically needs to keep the same mob names for that aspect. I agree though that the area and mobs could very much use some new descriptions. Xvart lair is cool as hell, always has been. Torak is a moron for what he said concerning that. Nice suggestion Tsunami.

I'd sure like to see an Imm take on the Outlying Villages (The Dale area) and finish the questy stuff that was apparently began but never finished there. It's been so long that I can't remember all the details, but basically there are a bunch of hidden descriptions that lead a person like a bread crumb trail. However, there is no conclusion and nothing actually "mechanical" in place. As of now it's all flavor.

Anyhoo, it's good to see you guys still truckin'.

I will imm and take on ALL THESE PROJECTS!!!

Nah, kidding.

Edit: Forgot to add, I would also say Balator, along with the high tower. So much can be added and make it an amazing area.

I always wanted to actually be a student there and have to do quests to get to the next floor. Like an epic mage questline... I still sometimes wonders if something like that is there and no one knows it.

with some of semi-recent, semi-decent mage PCs.

Actually seeing the NPCS practice spells and the like. I'd go more in depth but I'm on my phone for this. But making it more...lively.

It's pretty big and could be more interesting. As a second I would list east road.

Definitely needs a revamp. Keep Thrym in some manner and practice weapons though!

Just curious.

Bwuahahahahahahahahahaha

I personally wouldn't want to lose that. It would make sense to update it to include other stuff that has gone away (scions, sylvan, etc.) and perhaps update the descriptions, but honestly it is a cool area flavor wise.

Keep Thrym and Truck alive!

Ysigrath

How many people actually go there in an entire year?

By fixing up those 'out of the way' areas and making them more attractive the game itself will get larger and better.

I can be quite serious. I go there with every character. You make it quite clear that you lack much knowledge about the secrets of CF, but I'm sure your AIM pals can fill you in.

The place lacks much in the way of descriptions and flare, but it has some very neat aspects as well. Besides the couple great secrets.

Dammit, good to see you again Matrik. I can't believe Kstatida let you go.

Also, totally right about Xvart Lair. Cool area, #### descriptions (for the most part).

Thank you for your kind words.

Kstatida was a clever mistress, but easily foiled in the end. Homophobic Russians crumple easily at a real man's caress.

Ruins of the deep.
Area with sahuagin king.
Region immediately south of seantryn. Also build some kind of link from the mainland so that seantryn isn't quite as inaccessible and dull for tribs.

They are probably the most frequented areas to impress newer players and yet places all of us still use... or just places I still use almost every session that are dated.

1) Ysigrath (almost every character)
2) The Vale (almost every character)
3) Balator (Probably the only really old area left that connects to a cabal)
