Having wings must be a dangerous thing, just floating up there without a worry. All those lovely PHs have forgotten the dangers lurking down on the ground, dirt, ditches, splinters, warts... I spotted how two foolhardy winged folks had descended and were dancing barefoot among the trees, how irresponsible. One should be more cautious when getting down and dirty. A fair warning for all you out there about the worst danger of them all, warts.

Warts are evil, devil’s laugh laughing tiny scamps also known as viruses. Living on their ancient wart kingdom tiny wart-citizens, wart forefathers, were stomped by a huge bare probable human foot, from which they got permanent trauma after seeing the protruding fishline like hairs on the big toe and embellished worn out and dry calluses on the heel. Wart forefathers decided that not a single human foot would stamp on them again, so they established a militia against human feet. Since then whenever warts meet a barefoot, they are eager to attack.

How to protect yourself from them?
Protection is difficult if not impossible. Wart’s hate against barefeet can’t be forgotten, for example on a beach it’s good to keep sandals or some sort of footwear with you. It also isn’t very smart to go poking friends warts, because warts can take that as a malicious gesture and attack you too in their outrage. Warts live everywhere and those small organisms remember even that one time unfortunate adventurer sat on their camp.

Can you get rid of them?
That is difficult also because you’re not dealing with some phlegmatic and lazy species here but with WARTS. That vicious community isn’t in anyway easily disposed of. But there is some good news, warts usually aren’t endlessly unforgiving. When they have sniffed your toes for two years, some beautiful day all of a sudden they often disappear without a trace. But if you don’t have the patience to wait for that moving day, human world has tried to come up with some solutions against the wart colony war.

Burning: Warts don’t like heat and at the latest when doctor pokes their nest with a nasty looking pointy hot stick, they leave grunting. But don’t think that the war is officially over... Warts have marked your toes and can return to their territory again.
Sunlight: This is the cleanest way to get rid of those nasty buggers although it may cause some side effects, like dehydration and blindness. Excessive sunlight makes warts brains haywire and as they’re delirious they’ll accidentally leave their home.
Duct tape: Effective but long-winded way to evict the wart community. Warts don’t give up easily but they’ll carry on fighting against the duct tape about three months, until poor warts run out of oxygen. So you’ll have to keep the tape in place for a really long time if you want to show the warts the high way to heaven. They won’t become demoralized by little efforts.

Windberry Island

Hello fellow NEaBians! Another article for Island Adventures. Today I visited Windberry Island managed by Smurfsrule. You would have to be a brave adventure to come here. The monsters are different, some strong some weak. I would recommend coming here around level 40 or higher. Don't forget Heal potions too! I am see here standing by castle smurf, curiosity has gotten too me about this place. Maybe there could be a new quest waiting for me in there? Truthfully I have not been on Smurfsrule's island before. Not much more I can tell about this place, come see for yourself! That concludes this Island Adventures!

Hemyock Island

Today I am on Hemyock created by a player administrator named Zorich. His quests are quite hard to solve I have stumbled upon one and... can not figure out a resolution. Questing though is important some offer grand rewards. I would recommend this island if you are a player who enjoys a challenge. I must admit that I am not too good at quests. So, I am not always good at judging how hard quests are. My advice is only to tell you of quests that I find interesting. Talk to other players about them. Hemyock is a very large island meaning there is much to do on the island. Come explore Hemyock!

2. As to the emply spaces between the different player islands, I agree they could be filled up with some towns/shops/little quests. It's an idea that is on my to do list. I sailed the whole of neab a few months ago to correct bad tiles on the system islands and back than it occured to me that lots of these island could be used for healing during sea journeys, or little quests, .... .

3. As to the player islands with Non Active IMs I'm still not sure on what to do. Some are certainly worth keeping, but for some I have the feeling they don't contribute too much and can be deleted.

As for the inactive islands, it'd be good to find one or two editors who will be able to upkeep any bugs. In general though, we can probably leave most of the islands as they are. Some are still interesting despite the fact that they are not being updated, and as their managers did spend a lot of time working on them I'd rather not remove them from the map. Does the editor position also cover system islands such as Tuffel Island? I know that there are some buggy quests that should be fixed/removed on some of them.]]> http://forums.nodalideas.com/topic.php?post=137174#post137174 http://forums.nodalideas.com/post.php?topic=14126&quotepost=137174 Mon, 06 Sep 2010 21:27:04 GMT http://forums.nodalideas.com/topic.php?post=137174#post137174 ]]> http://forums.nodalideas.com/topic.php?post=137173#post137173 http://forums.nodalideas.com/post.php?topic=14126&quotepost=137173 Mon, 06 Sep 2010 20:29:53 GMT http://forums.nodalideas.com/topic.php?post=137173#post137173

My idea would be to add a historic books section to the Soupir Library with a book named after each of the islands. Therefore, all of the oddball orphaned islands would become interactive storybook histories of islands that used to exist in NEaB long ago. Then give someone the role of Island Historian to keep up these "books" and fix bugs. This would separate the role of Island Editor and restrict it to just those islands while allowing them to explore the more bug free and kept up islands without having the Editor Role to worry about.

The one flaw I can see with this idea is all the Inter-Island quests out there, that would complicate it a little ]]> http://forums.nodalideas.com/topic.php?post=137171#post137171 http://forums.nodalideas.com/post.php?topic=14126&quotepost=137171 Mon, 06 Sep 2010 19:23:54 GMT http://forums.nodalideas.com/topic.php?post=137171#post137171 http://forums.nodalideas.com/topic.php?post=137170#post137170 http://forums.nodalideas.com/post.php?topic=14126&quotepost=137170 Mon, 06 Sep 2010 18:00:24 GMT http://forums.nodalideas.com/topic.php?post=137170#post137170 http://forums.nodalideas.com/topic.php?post=137169#post137169 http://forums.nodalideas.com/post.php?topic=14243&quotepost=137169 Mon, 06 Sep 2010 15:55:56 GMT http://forums.nodalideas.com/topic.php?post=137169#post137169 "Updating" (to what extent?) the work of others is another thing.

By the way, system islands need to be checked for bugs too. I remember experiencing some bugs in system islands whenever I visited, but hardly anybody ever replied when I sent in the reports.

For upkeep of nonactive islands, would that include making sure that all locations are available, or that some are appropriately changed to 2D locations? I know that there is a large, blocked off island in Shadow Archipelago. Not sure if Kenshin was mostly done with it, but it'd be nice to see it released if it is.]]> http://forums.nodalideas.com/topic.php?post=137166#post137166 http://forums.nodalideas.com/post.php?topic=14126&quotepost=137166 Mon, 06 Sep 2010 14:17:42 GMT http://forums.nodalideas.com/topic.php?post=137166#post137166
