Ah...
Guess I should have mentioned, after I made that post, I set up a spawn party in the coliseum.
It's nothing fancy... yellow archers and blood mummies galore for the lowers.
If you're feeling adventurous, well, the top rooms are quite dangerous - but good xp.
I watched for some time - the teamwork involved was quite impressive.
And players are gaining xp like crazy.
All standard mobs, no added drops.
Just, lots and lots of them.
Hope everyone had a little fun.
Should be going until server restart... which is 10 hours from now.
Go check it out - but watch before entering.... and be careful if you decide to bring pets.

Ok, before I go to bed, here are some pics of start map:
- Entrance area: Show

- The portal to the party!

The entrance area had arrows pointing to the portal to the coliseum - where there was a spawn party
- Alliances Rock: Show

- Haha that tree grew as I was taking the pic

Decided to spruce the area up a little, but I don't think any alliances were done here today. Oh well. Still nice to look at.
- Teleporters: Show

- Nice way to get around

To quickly get around FT, this area was made today. In case you didn't enjoy the party, or wanted to do other stuff instead... well, it was there.
Now, I didn't do a ton of decorating (what I did have was time consuming enough)... but I think it turned out ok.
The new update is coming - it will be ready when it's ready, and not before.
I know, it was hoped to be ready for the anniversary, but it's far better that it get delayed, than it be released with bugs in it.
So, just be patient... and hope everyone enjoyed the little xp party today. If not, well, hope you enjoyed the teleporters. Or both

I really liked the stuff at start map. I only hope that one day they become permanent and stay forever

Yea it was great for a lvl 1000 plus mage with devil pets that stole my little archer(78)'s spawn of 8 or 9 mummies in one "kill everything in sight" tap.
Don't get me wrong, the idea was awesome and MadMikael did a great job ... but permanent? No, I hope not.
Forgotten Tales would be reduced to one map for grinding, and as seen above, for the most powerful.
There was a room a little farther north of where I was that would have been more fitting for that mage, but like everywhere in FT, there are many powerful players that think nothing of destroying/stealing a smaller (level) players spawn.
Just look at the Ashdown event as an ongoing example, or the plains of Silverwood.

Lol i am referring to the portals lol. I like the way ther portals MadMikael places at start map. One to bank. One to Silverwood. One to warlocks and one to 100$ city. I don't know about spawn party. Haven't been there.
I was saying that maybe the portals at start map be there always one day. But they usually go away at system restart.

Oh, there may be a future planned system for this sort of thing...
It won't be like what I made, but it would allow you to get around (I'm not sure how exactly).
The best part is, that if it is implemented (and different), the kind of start map thing could still be done once in a while

Oh well, yes, I've liked those since the first time I saw them ... October for Halloween, I think, was my first. Regardless, my thought exactly, "Hey, this should be permanent!" Silverwood and back in 2 easy clicks.
