As a graduate of Toothless? I'm glad to see you standing up and proclaiming that no one gave you one iota of help and/or caravans and/or anything else along the way.  You are a self-made individual who had to fight and struggle for every scrap you got, by golly.

Oh wait ...

Edited to add:  Speaking as someone who was an officer in Toothless? when Silverlake was a newb, I do not in any way begrudge one little bit of help that I gave him; he was a pleasure to have as a new player, and I treasure both the experiences I gained in T? and what little I was able to return.

Sounds like you've got the just of it.

Deleted as was off topic and tended to continue a trend of people attacking each other rather than discussing ideas.

I suggest that people start looking around the map for the Vintastic Winery or other such structure, because this might well be the answer.

And devs, if there isn't one now ... there ought to be!

Please feel free to use this thread for the hunt for the Winery, speculation, public mocking and a long list of where the winery ISN'T.

funny i was already saying this myself...

and not only this, but think of all the new hidden discoveries that could be introduced :D


Or think about the new magic..
Make it your ambition to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business and to work with your hands, so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders and so you will not be dependent on anybody.
