Oh ok thanks Rill. I'll just wait to create a second account until the GMs include that option.

Just an FYI - NPC (nature) will be going live in the Broken Lands later today (Monday); nature will be seeded as per regular Elgea distributions in terms of Biome and Terrain.

This *may* involve a small pause in the regular Illyriad service; maybe 20-30 seconds of "freeze"; we'll let you know in GC before this happens.

Regards,

SC

At least for now, everyone is starting on Elgea.

Is there going to be a choice for new players to choose which continent they would like to start on?

Nice to see Broken Lands arrive.

I'm still confused about factions. SC, you spent a lot of effort talking about them here. Are they live? People are saying they aren't, or at least are just doing the same thing they've been doing for months. When will the AI go hot?

Hi everyone,

I've had some questions about whether some of the NPC terrain squares in Broken Lands are supposed to be barren (ie no Wood, Clay, Iron, Stone or Food).

An example of a square like this would be here:


I've looked into this, and the answer is "Yes" - the NPC squares in BL have the same overall distribution as Elgea.

You get the same phenomena in Elgea, just more rarely outside of Arctic and Desert terrain.

For example:


So, yes, this is intentional.

Many thanks,

SC

Same resource types as in Elgea.  Stormcrow said in chat that they are working on NPCs.
