The Sunken Archipelago

Even old sea dogs have never seen a storm of this magniute! Nature raged in the Marian Sea and as mountain-like waves crashed into each other, as lightings punctured the sky, turning night into day, sailors who were caught in this calamity begged the Great Dragons for salvation.

Survivors whose prayers were answered claim to have seen a huge winged shadow among the dark clouds...

Now the sea is calm, skies are clear and the Island of Mankhar emerged from the storm. But imagine the sailors' surprise when they realized that the The Roaming Archipelago is slowly sinking.

Best minds of Tartu are trying to figure out what caused that terrible storm and whether it's possible to save the sinking islands from being lost to the ocean.

While they're working, let's see what these changes will mean for the brave warriors of Adan.


The Roaming Archipelago will be submerged, you won't be able to reach it anymore.
Sydian stored in Archipelago Hideouts will sink with the islands. And it'll be lost forever.
After the submersion of the Archipelago, only the island of Mankhar will remain. On it stands the Imperial Outpost. It's been badly damaged in the storm.
Teleportation with the use of Shadow Circle and Shadow Stone will not work anymore.
You will still be able obtain Sydian in the Maze of Eternity and during Clan Wars.




Keep your fingers on the pluse, warriors! Who knows what Adan has in store for us!

How to kill the game part 1

Don't worry there are also changes coming soon™ that you will enjoy :)
Part two, changes to prospecting was part 1. What about the rachnis? Will there be any to be found? How long do we have to get sydian off the islands? Are the ships now going to be pointless? Seeing as how my clan didn't get credited with reps for the last clan war (and possibly others), will there still be a pro quest for over level 50s that gives clan reps?
When do you plan on doing this?
is there going to be a replacement for the rachni's for hop for higher level HoP?
Shimora,

Yes you will get new ways to acquire currency, as i said keep an eye for news, this is not happening right away but very soon so be prepared for Archipelago to sink.

"> very funny
You don't even bother to get us outpost. But then you write about it in news that it still stands. Way to go... not.
Sorry but your enhancements better be huge. It's hard enough to overcome the sydian shortage now. Those who have been in the game longest have a huge advantage. I see this as making that a permanent advantage. And adding sydian to prospector doesn't do much for those of us who chose other professions. Game balance is going to be hard to maintain. Please be careful
The only people that go to island are clanned people. Does developers and administration finally realize that clan gear is destroyer the game.
1) Reroll people are using clan blue gear to max cap their valor.
2) New people are not spending the Reals or doing skrag cave cause they do not get an advantage anymore cause clan gear.
3) New people are quitting before they can be addicted to game and game is loosing out on in game Real purchase.
Are administration slowly fazing out clan cause no one is spending Reals to upgrade ships or are developers expanding how clan works?
"You will still be able obtain Sydian in the Maze of Eternity and during Clan Wars."

Soooo - does that mean you are going to fix the maze times so that US people can get in there during the week and get sydian?

I work standard US CST hours....so basically I am not available from 1200 ST until 0200 ST. There are no maze times available when I can play at night M-F. So how will this be fair to me and other US workers?

Getting rid of maze restrictions or adding more time slots would be helpful - thank you.

+1
Let us go when we have time, just like Skrag Cave and Fort Giard.
i looked, there are no rachni's even 6 weeks after islands sank on russian server...so where are the big money hops gunna come from?

Shimora,

checked the other server, and after 6 weeks or so of islands sinking, still no rachni, so how do we get to do high revenue hour of prosperity?
Ihit,

Really you must know when the change is planned to take place so stop being so vague about it - is it days, weeks, a month or more. You must realise the chaos this has caused with players desperately hauling sydian and others out in force hunting them and a clearer time scale would allow players a more reasoned withdrawal and less of a sense of grievance if they do lose sydian because the islands disappear overnight,
Are ships no longer needed? My clan has lost two in the blocking of the islands.
