nart_21086 is now a hobo with a camera.

[nart_21086]

I've been on a routine in escapia for a bit too long and will soon depart on a new journey. I intend to explore, and possibly document, the many settlements of escapia, especially the abandoned or scarcely populated ones. I don't see myself going back to my /home anytime soon in the coming weeks. My supplies will be ripped from the land, and directions ripped from you, the players.

Here, I plead for suggestions of lesser known settlements to explore and their locations, and anything else you would want me to visit and document. I will place ze screencaps and accounts here.

I stumbled upon this idear when visiting Guard City.
Don't know what that is? Exactly.

I will begin in Terra/Ver3 where the real Relics are, and will continue this journey until untimely death.

[vallorn]

remember to scour the Ver3 map. and i suggest Herp's Resort. the only thing that people do there is sit in its Flower Tower. take the Duduf Tram from Solake3.0 (the sign down to the tram is right beside the surface lift down to the main subway station there.

[Pinmissile]

You should visit The Classy Kingdom, we're due East from Corinth.

[Skunk_Giant]

You should go see Pandora IV. It was built by Warlock and I in the first few days of Escapia III...

Oh, and I have no clue how to get there.

[donkypoink]

specially the abandoned or scarcely populated ones

Look up darkend if u want scracely populated settlements in the distance

[random980]

I, Lord Random980 (Meatroid), of Solar, Sub-mayor of the joint USSR towns, who is extremely bored at the moment. Would like to join you on your 3p1C ADv3NTuR35 across Escapia. I also suggest we postpopne this adventure until we can get our hands on a few hundred maps. Also i suggest exploring the extinct Dino-town first. (cause its close and stuff)
I can come with you right?

(nart i also need to talk to you about moving/renovating the whole Sunburn lounge building.)

[DuplicateValue]

Ah, I went on one of those before I became a mod. Found some pretty cool things too.

There's a medieval style public castle/fort somewhere in the region between old Solake and C8's laboratory. I can't remember the name now, but I remember really liking it.

Also:

[haxxorzd00d]

-snip-

It's funny because it literally is.

[vallorn]

quick note. il show you to the labyrinthine settelment known as Vault88. its abandoned officialy and used to have as many slimes as IC due to its depth.

also did i mention its a labyrinth?

[Lord_Mountbatten]

It's not really a settlement, but there's a group of moderator houses somewhere. In that area you will find the living abodes of Ninjawoman, ITFCho, myself, and the illustrious SneakyPie!

You'd have to ask me if you found my place, because I put up something stopping people from getting in. SneakyPie's house you can enter at will, such is his magnificence. The others I'd just look at from a distance.

[nart_21086]

I only explored for a short time today, but did end up with a few new discoveries.

I arrived at this small settlement. I could not locate a single sign within the settlement, nor any evidence of recent activity, twas eerie.

[DuplicateValue]

The compass thingy is called "Stairway to Heaven" I believe.

I stand up there sometimes when I'm just watching chat.

[Godavari]

I'm okay with this.

[Sti_Jo_Lew]

Skunk, Pandora is near my fortress, if you remember how to get there. Go north past Saphiri into Leprosyville, turn right when inside the gates, and travel west down the hill a bit. That's the easiest way i know to get to Pandora.

[Sti_Jo_Lew]

Also, try visiting Leprosyville. It's a decent town, even though it's completely desolate. I'm the only one who ever goes through there. Probably all the Lepers scaring people off.

I am disappoint in lack of reading.

[Sti_Jo_Lew]

I couldn't even read that.

Then click on it.

Nart, some things worth checking out.

All around what used to be my land in the South (Derg) and what is now Kestle, are old buildings and structures that have been abandoned. In the far south near Borderpost is a safety house that Afly, Furd and I built back in February. It may be worth taking a peek, if it still exists. Between Derg/Kestle and Corinth lie many abandonned things. There's even a long abandoned and built up city that I have never heard anyone talk about or visit. The lost city of Terra! See if you can find it.

Also, while trying to find Darkend one time, I ran into a place named after Moria from LOTR. The best description as to where it is located at least 500-700 blocks Southwest of spawn. Near to that area were mine shafts that went from the surface to the bedrock. They may be worth some investigation.

Ninja's and Cho's houses are also open, I believe. Or perhaps it was just a hole in the wall.. I found them on my way to the Hourglass. Cool stuff up North, nart.

Dunno about Cho's, but with Ninja's it depends when you were there. At one point she went crazy and grief-stick'd the place.

Sweet! I do enjoy the deep south, I do live in Borderpost ya know

I know it is on the way to RSTP. I had to hide there one night, the road likes to fill with mobs in certain spots.

[nart_21086]

Second day, wandered aimlessly then had a little aid from Zin.

Stumbled upon a tunnel, a long sandstone tunnel. very arbitrary.

Then Zin heard about me adventure and brought me to his own ruins.
The place looked like it had been victim of orbital artillery.

I am now a few dozen blocks from Naida, but utterly, utterly lost.... ADVENTURE!

[Zinrius]

The "Orbital" Damage came from that peculiar item floating in the sky if you must know.

[Wildwill002]

OGRED attack?

[nart_21086]

OGRED attack?

I believe an OGRED strike would have been more precise and destructive. We would've been able to see bedrock.

[Eddietester1066]

Aw, man! You walked right by my house and I wasn't there I'd have been happy to give you a tour of my sucky little shack...
