Entertaining Bleu''s antics throughout the small time we had left together, I got to understand both Crystal''s and Bleu''s personalities. Of course, Bleu was the cheerful young man he portrayed during the meeting, but I also got an insight into his childish nature, fitting his age. He felt like a friend, a brother, a cousin, and a colleague, all at the same time. In contrast, Crystal felt like a mother, as she kept Bleu under control. Her stern attitude to everyone, made her actions seem cold, but underneath it, was a warm individual.


    There wasn''t much left to discuss since Sam was going to handle all the alliances, I instead started to indulge myself with the food, following Bleu''s example. There were numerous kinds of cuisines that I have never tried before, as well as a variety of drinks, which I ended up trying as well. Who would have thought cocktails taste pretty good? I know I never got the chance to try a lot of cocktails in the past but now… I quite like them, maybe I will develop a type of cocktail in the game to share around.


    In all due time, we eventually left Turquoise, heading back to Sam''s abode. During this time, we simply rxed, I even took a nap on the flight back. Once we were home, Sam told me he had to take care of a few matters, mainly the contracts for the alliances. Waving goodbye, he heads inside talking in a serious manner with Eve, while I head towards the lounge room. Reba had already messaged me that everyone was in the lounge room, with only me and Sam missing.


    "Yo! Look who''s back!" - Evan


    Walking inside the room, I see Evan spinning around on one of those table counter chairs. Next to him, Sabrina was drinking a ss of juice, giving me a small wave as I enter. On the other side, Kingston was lying on a chair, his legs over the armrest while his head was resting on the other. I wasn''t sure if he was sleeping or not but chose to ignore it anyway.


    Nina and Reba were sitting next to each other on the couch, with Reba patting the seat next to her, signaling for me toe. To my surprise, Alice and Adam were sitting opposite Reba and Nina, wearing casual clothing instead of their work attire. Walking over to Reba, I nce at both of them, confused by their presence.


    "Yes, Evan I''m back. Is it alright for the both of you to be here?" - Ian


    "Don''t worry about it~ Sam told me to keep you guyspany." - Adam


    "Adam! It''s Mr. Sam. Eve would smack you if she heard you say that, however, what he has is true, there is no need to worry about our presence. Instead, you should wee it. I''ll be one of the new yers in Settlement." - Alice


    "Oh, is that why you are here? Are we going to discuss the game now?" - Evan


    "Most likely. I was only told to inform you of my joining the game once ites back online. Any other information is unknown to me." - Alice


    "That''s alright, Alice. You don''t need to worry too much about it. EVAN! Bring up what you found on the forums." - Nina


    "YES MADAM!" - Evan


    Spinning out of his chair, Evan steps into the middle, pulling out a small remote from his pocket. Pressing a button, a screen appears out of the ceiling, slowly making its way down as it covers a wall, and with another press, we see the game forums.


    "Ahem! Everyone here is aware, that a patch is going to drop, exining some new things we should be looking out for in the next phase of the game. However, that doesn''t stop us was analyzing some of the information that is already present to us, and with the helpful yermunity, minus the trolls, we were able to gather quite a lot of new and helpful information.


    Firstly, we need to talk about the capsules. Some of us are already aware of it, namely Ian and Sam, but for the rest of us that don''t know, it is a new generation game capsule, designed to make the game feel more immersive. I''m assuming~ It is a gateway for the merge, to prepare our bodies, but correct me if I''m wrong. After all, we have no way of knowing what is inside the N1.


    With the increased immersion, we will be moving our bodies at a much faster and smoother rate, making certain moves feelpletely different to us. Simple actions such as running, stabbing, and even feeling the environmental effects around will be heightened. All 5 of our senses will be enhanced to a higher degree, and apparently wielding magic/mana will be easier. I''m not sure how that works, but there was an in-depth theory online, which I will not exin.


    Secondly, the storyline. Where is it going, and what do we know about it? Let''s turn back time, shall we? Prophecies. This was huge a while back, but it kind of died after a while when there was no new input of information. BUT! That was before the game ended for the patch. For some reason, there was a bunch of people that just decided to info dump more prophecies, and they are from different races from the ones we have heard about before.


    From the leopard demi-humans, we were able to obtain a single sentence that was passed down to that certain tribe.


    Run to Heaven as Mother Nature weeps.


    From the Eagle demi-humans, we were able to obtain 2 sentences.


    With the vanishing of the sun and the stillness of the wind,


    Our feathers tremble as the earth shakes.


    From the porcupine demi-humans.


    As the world quakes, and mountains crumble,


    Our homes will copse, as the Earth falls, and the seas rise.


    These extra prophecies, in addition to the ones we already know, are telling us that the continent that we are on is going to go through an extreme transformation. This patch is an optimal time for the next event to hint at the destruction of the world as we know it. The increase of yers, plus the Kings attacking everyone, plus potential natural disasters seem like the most likely scenario.


    Thirdly, the additional yers and what they are going to do. I heard from Reba and Nina, that Ian you received an item called the Altar of Life. Is that correct" - Evan


    "Uh, yea. I got it. It''s going to a spawning location for yers. That was what the description on the item said." - Ian


    "RIGHT! Spawning for yers. THAT… It is going to be a huge impact on the game. Like Alice, there are going to be swarms of yers going to the game, and most likely it was only the top 5 guilds that received this item as well. When yers log into the game for the first time, they will be prompted with a choice, HavenFall, Bone City, Aqua Corp, Pa Kaua, and Lotus Flower.


    THIS CHOICE IS VITAL FOR THEIR OWN SURVIVAL! Where they choose will determine, how they will grow as a yer and their connections. Looking online, and with the information from everyone here, I have a general list of advantages for yers, depending on their choice.


    This list was also already spread on the forum, by a user called TheBananaMan. Amazing work he did,piling it all into an easy-to-read document. The only problem, with his work, is that he doesn''t cover HavenFall, due to theck of exposure. The fault can only be put on Ian since his location is just in one of the most obscure locations in the game, the middle of the continent.


    [ For starters, Bone City.


    Amazing defensive structures, and walls. Provides security to any new yers. Additionally, there is a team of Bones yers, constantly patrolling the area to keep it safe.


    Wide range of monsters is already sectioned out in a general map for yers to read, as well as a generic ''level/route'' mentioned


    Weapons and Armor, are plentiful mainly specializing in close-range weapons.


    There are also three ''schools'' that are mentioned in reports, Swords, Axes, and Spears


    Armor is mainly of the leather kind, there is not a lot of metal used in this location


    Large agriculture businesses are already being constructed


    Multiple locations for ''housing'', however, houses are very basic and are prone to fire as everything is constructed with very mmable material


    Dangerous monsters sometimes lurk in ''low-level'' fields, including The Hordes''s elite team<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    The openness of the map provides little shelter to yers but also helps as there are fewer chances of being ambushed until the yers venture deeper


    For Aqua Corp,


    Amazing view of the ocean, one of the best starting location if yers are looking for a holiday


    Multiple kinds of edible fish, with yers and NPCs who are skilled at cooking/preparing them


    Wide range of aquatic monsters, and swamp dwellers, however, the danger of water bodies is extremely high, with monsters capable of pulling yers into the depths of the ocean, rivers, or swamps


    A rough map of dangerous ces has been created, however, there is not a lot of detail, due to the randomness of the appearance of monsters capable of killing yers instantly inrge bodies of water


    Potential sea transportation has been created, but not perfect


    Weapons and armor, are created by underwater materials, boosting water magic and resistance to water spells and ice spells, with a preference for spears, bows, and magic


    Small viges are always under constant strain from attacks from monsters, however, provides greatbat experience, if yers are able to survive


    Lots of potential ambush locations, be wary


    Has a thief-like guild as well established by Helioc


    For Lotus Flower,


    Beauties, lots of beauties


    Adjacent to Eden, showcasing multiple gorgeous female yers, also has a lot of attractive demi-humans


    The home to one of the most religious viges, with multiple shrines to wee lots of different gods and goddesses, including Goddess of Love, Aphrodite, the Goddess of Protection, Salus, and the God of Healing, Apollo. There are rumors to be more.


    Extremely adept with magic, including healing, support, light, and fire. There may be more left undiscovered


    Multiple small viges have been constructed


    The location is bare, however, with not a lot of materials. yers will need to travel awhile in order to transport material back to the main vige


    Lots of monsters that are in groups rather than alone, as well as, lots of fast-moving monsters.


    For Pa Kaua


    Excellent location for a great homely feel


    Demi-humans treat everyone like family, there is no such thing as racism, and they will do their best to protect everyone at the expense of themselves


    Strong weapons and armor, mainly dealing with leather and bones, and close-range weapons


    Axes seem to be the strongest and most used weapon in this location, most likely due to the influence of the NPC demi-humans. It looks like they are masters of one trade and aren''t well-versed in others


    Has multiplend transportation in terms of horses and horse-like monsters, making it easier to travel


    Monsters are at a more ''medium-level'' difficulty, inexperienced yers may struggle at the start but with the help of the NPCs it should be smooth sailing


    Housing is quite advanced, with homes that look more like small huts and tents. There doesn''t seem to be a risk of damage to the homes


    Previous instances of PvP have been noted, however, it lessened after the NPCs showed their strengths


    yers that are looking for PvP might want to still join this vige as there is a higher chance of finding other yers from different guilds


    ]


    And while TheBananaMan doesn''t have information on HavenFall, he has added a smallment on it.


    [ For HavenFall


    Location is in the middle of the continent


    Most likely surrounded by strong monsters, exining how Ian is constantly in the top 10


    Strong base, most likely in a great or hidden location. Must be easily defendable in order tost against strong monsters


    Highly likely that NPCs are strong as well, most likely able to learnbat from NPCs


    Not a lot of interaction with other yers, feels more like a solo grind or a small group grind


    Rmend to those who want a challenge, but not a casual game ]


    To be honest, he isn''t wrong. HavenFall is in a great location with a lot of stronger monsters nearby, and the NPCs are strong. However, the only downside is he isn''t confident in the information. It feels like he is guessing which means new yers will also feel like he is guessing, which in turn might make them reluctant to join HavenFall.


    In addition, HavenFall has almost no online presence,pared to everyone else. Even Pa Kaua, has a name, with Sam''s face on it, which allows yers to look into the Leader''s personality and potential character. I think HavenFall will have the least amount of yersing in, but that doesn''t mean it will be a small amount. It has been rumored that a minimum of 1 million yers will be joining our server. With the current amount of yers only barely reaching 100 thousand, there is going to be a LOTTTTT of yers" - Evan
