<<Ruin Creek is still a bit off, but that is planned to give people things to do when NOT hunting. No, this isn't news, I announced at the OOC meeting months ago :p ~GM Liia
You're going to release Ruin Creek on Teras? Ruin Creek is on a completely different continent, and according to legend (via The Chosen/Vrrael/Terate quest log):
You hear the ghostly voice of an old man say, "You know...that how I got Tindal over to the Landing from Ruin Creek." [this was in referance to Familiar gate]
You hear the ghostly voice of an old man say, "I am indeed Malaphor."
You hear the ghostly voice of an old man say, "Why, Tindal was my apprentice, where else would he be, but in Ruin Creek with me?
You hear the ghostly voice of an old man say, "My workshop, my life was in Ruin Creek. Tis there that the black knight struck me down, and tis there that I gated Tindal to here from."
You hear the ghostly voice of an old man say, "My tomes and the notes of Illian himself were destroyed when the black knight came to seek out the babe Daephron, so I leave this knowledge to you to pass on."
You hear the ghostly voice of an old man say, "Many many years later when the House Faendryl was seeking a reconciliation with the House Ashrim, a marriage was arranged between Rythwier Faendryl's eldest daughter Chesylcha, and a prince of the Ashrim. Before Chesylcha set sail to Ta'Ashrim, the Faendryl had sent many gifts to the Ashrim in preparation for the wedding and the celebration that would have ensued."
You hear the ghostly voice of an old man say, "Amongst those gifts was a small enruned modwir box. How it came to be there, I don't know, but it was there. At the time, it was of unknown origin, but unsurpassed beauty in its craftsmanship. It was a popular gift at the time, these Faendryl "puzzle" boxes..."
You hear the ghostly voice of an old man say, "The box was placed in the hands of an advisor to the prince for safekeeping. After Chesylcha's ship disappeared and the Faendryl launched their attack on Ta'Ashrim, a small band of Ashrim fled with one of the patriarch's line. The advisor and the box were on that ship."
You hear the ghostly voice of an old man say, "I know this to be true, for I was that advisor."
You hear the ghostly voice of an old man say, "Our ship sailed for many days and just when our supplies had dwindled and our spirits were at their lowest, we landed on the southern tip of a small continent, somewhat to the north of what you know as Teras Isle."
You hear the ghostly voice of an old man say, "There we found a small town by the name of Ruin Creek. It was inhabited by humans mainly, but they took us in and as time went by our two races mingled together, banding together for survival and for the bond of love."
You hear the ghostly voice of an old man say, "And survival was at issue...for we were walled in by many threats...the Krolvin empire to the far north, the Talkyn empire to the far northwest, the trolls of Grr'Tok to the west and beyond that, the flaming spire of Cinghin'fer"
You hear the ghostly voice of an old man say, "Because Ruin Creek was so far from the seat of power of the Krolvin and Talkryn empires, we were left alone, but the trolls raided Ruin Creek mercilessly."
You hear the ghostly voice of an old man say, "This black knight, was one of the Vvrael's corrupted human agents...like Terate, but not nearly so. It was a terrible battle, but he slew me and destroyed my workshop and all my tomes. The knight seized the box from my hands, while Tindal fled with the babe through the familiar gate that I opened as I died."
Doesn't sound like a friendly place for a bit of travel to me...
Also Liia, you might wanna check to make sure the justice system is working properly outside of the gates, a friend of mine said he got tacked for a fine for blowing up boxes just outside the gates before the road.

>>I wasn't there, what's Ruin Creek?
Ruin Creek is a place that has history, but no physical existence in the game itself. It is going to be designed to give Terasians things to do, including gambling, shopping, eating, etc. You don't HAVE to do things, but you will have more options. And, it will be a nice place to veg out that's not the statue :)
It's still in design mode, so it will be awhile yet.
