New Head Tutor
|
|
Earlier today Nussan stepped down from the position of Head Tutor. She has taught many people from young to old about the Kingdoms and what it has to serve. Over three and a half years ago she filled the position and has dedicated her time and energy making Tutoring the best it can be.
In her place she has elected Musadan KoyaSoto. Good luck to KoyaSoto on Head Tutlage and thank you Nussan for the years of dedication and hard work.

Boats surrounding the Kingdoms

Today a few travelers noticed new boats in locations where they never were before. KorinakII noticed a boat in the Wilderness located at 217,171, and TaiPatron noticed another boat in Dae shore at 77,60. Another boat is located in the Islets at 78, 24. Could the plot be thickening? Time will tell..

Wisdom Star Returns (1/30-2/2)
|
 The strong Wisdom Star returns: King MuHyul's astrology and alchemy advisor has heralded the return of the Wisdom Star. In a short moon's time, the three celestial minors will be in alignment and the Wisdom Star will wake from its slumber, bathing us all in its pure light, stronger than ever. Scholars and swordsmen alike have always anticipated the coming of the sacred star, as with its light comes good fortune. When the star finds its niche in the night sky, its radiance envelops mortal minds and sharpens their wits, thus inducing all walks of life the ability to gain better experience on the challenges that reside in hunting lairs. Some of the greatest achievements of the past were made during the high rise of the Wisdom Star, and now, once again, the opportunity to reach great goals is nearing. Let us all rejoice in the Wisdom Star's return!
((The Wisdom Star will be returning on 1/30/09 and will fade away on 2/2/09 so get your accounts registered today!)

A catapult?
Posted
by: Conro
-- 5:32 PM EST
|
|
The HaggardWitch is back, and she is seeking out Tabae, who recently died at the hand of Mupa and her nefarious snakes.
Tabae is haunting the area around Lovers Lake, where a strange gateway has appeared. If you are interested in helping Tabae and the HaggardWitch, follow this walkthrough...
Go to Lovers Lake and Visit Tabae
- Say 'Hello'
- Say 'Mupa'
- Say 'Ice Dungeon'
- Say 'Big Gate'
- Say 'HaggardWitch'
Tabae will give you a 'Tabae's golden ring'
Next, visit the HaggardWitch at East Gate Kugnae, by the Tree of Reflections
- Say 'Golden ring'
- Say 'Ice Dungeon'
At this point, HaggardWitch will ask for donations to create a device to get through the gate, and will accept any of the following...
* Wool
* Cloth
* Ginko wood
* Metal
* Ore [poor]
* Ore [med]
* Ore [high]
* Ore [very high]
Depending on how much you donate, the following marks may be received (THIS IS NOT AN EXCLUSIVE LIST AS TO THE MEANS OF BEING AWARDED A LEGEND MARK AND ARE MERELY A GUIDE. OTHER ITEMS AND COMBINATIONS MAY BE USED)
Scrounged materials to build catapult [1 item]
Gave materials to build catapult [500 Ginko wood]
Made significant contributions to build catapult [1000 Ginko wood, 25 Wool]
Mug has confirmed that no mark exists past 'Significant'.
As of now, it is unsure whether we need to make a specific quota of items to progress, and if such quota is met, that the quest will automatically continue.
Previously, a quest such as this existed to rebuild the kingdoms, which required a reset after donations were taken. That event did not have a quota.
If you say 'Big gate' to HaggardWitch she will reply with...
'If we gather enough materials, I will have the Kingdom smiths create a mechanism to help tear down the Dungeon gate'
If you wish to share information, please feel free to contact myself through whisper, Nexus Mail if I do not respond, or use the News Report forum on NexusForums.

Interview with Mug
Posted
by: Vini
-- 10:00 PM EST
|
As the year of 2009 began, I had the opportunity to arrange a meeting with GM Mug and had an exclusive interview for Nexus Atlas about Nexus TK and his views on the game. We had such interview in a park, quite near a Golden bridge gate. Mug was a bit reserving about his real life matters, so this is all I could grab from him:
1. Greetings Mug, after almost 3 years as our GM, what do you think you've contributed most to nexus?
Mug: In a way this bias question because there are so many angles and each person view of what is most important will differ so there will never be one good answer.
What did i enjoy most making? That would be ogre instances.
2. If not the longest running GM, you're at least the most liked and well known one. What do you think is the reason for your success?
Mug: I wouldn't say I was most loved haha but i do listen to the players and if the idea is good i will see what i can do to make it happen.
3. How many hours does nexus consumes of you per day/week?
Mug: Does it matter? i enjoy my work on game and that is what matters.
4. What are your dreams for nexus overall?
Mug: To offer a kingdom where there is something for everyone to enjoy.
I know that each person is unique, but i try to focus on ideas that will appeal to each group.
5. Have you ever had a dream with nexus? If so, how was it?
Mug: That there was this big war and all players were upset because they were killed as soon as they walk out the doors.
Hmm what a great idea…
6. Out of curiosity, if you leave your whisper on, how many people automatically try to talk with you?
Mug: To many to count.
7. What do you like to do while you're not working or thinking about Nexus?
Mug: Drink coffee and sleep.
---------------------
Ping-pong questions:
Favorite item/equipment? my hair
Favorite RP character? blight
Favorite place/map? archon room under my cloud
Favorite quest? ogre instances
Favorite past event? pirate events
Favorite PK game (Riches/Elixir/Bloodlust/Fox hunt)? crusades
What pleases you most in nexus? the players
What disgusts you most in nexus? being told I dont work, because i always have projects in work, just some take time. i have many new things i am working on. there are 5 large projects in the work.
What was your best day in nexus? all days are best days

New Elendhirin Primogen
|
Or should I say Primogeness!
PesmergaXV passed the torch to Chantrea recently. PesmergaXV has hinted towards passing his title, but how soon was unclear. PesmergaXV remains a strong asset to the Elendhirin clan and is recent guide to the Do. We wish him the best of luck and thank him for the support and wisdom he puts forth.
Chantrea has her own ideas for the Clan; she hopes to engage them in more activities or events, as well as take in the ideas the Clan has to offer. Currently, the clan is working on fixing up the gardens within it - a beautiful start!
Congratulations, Chantrea and may your path be full of success.
XoXo

Woodland cracks
Posted
by: Conro
-- 9:16 PM EST
|
|
Since the Woodlands were repowered through Blight's introduction of the 'Vile of Venom' to the waters around the Sunken Fortress, rumors of a powerful armor have floated about, fueled by powerful creatures in the Woodlands dropping pages of a Diary of a mad man.
Mug has hinted that that two hints were provided on this quest.
1) Haengsa gave hints as how to make combinations (Mug has also said that "You need to use Woodland and Regular items"
*new*
2) Mug has said that even Blight gave a hint as to what to do for the quest when he introduced the 'Vile of Venom' into the water at Flooded Fortress.
As of now, nothing further than finding the diary pages has been discovered for the quest.
Those with information, or who wish to discuss ideas, are welcome to post on NexusForums. Any progress in the quest will be reported on NexusAtlas.

Secret Meeting
Posted
by: Conro
-- 7:59 PM EST
|
|
Interstate, rumored to be a member of the Koguryo Spy Guild held a public meeting about a take over of the 12 Subpaths in the Kingdoms.
His motives are unclear, but the meeting discussed taking over the subpaths through sleeper cells or by force. Interstate proposed a new plan, giving Guides more power by dividing up the power of the subpath into factions, where a guide leads his own group of that specific subpath.
Those interested in the take over and joining the revolution are asked to mail Interstate speaking of your interest. If you wish to remain anonymous, Interstate will allow you to choose an alias (just include it in your letter).
Further meetings will be organized through this listing, and may possibly be set up on a separate website.

A Shift in the Darkness
Posted
by: Aens
-- 4:07 PM EST
|
The Kugnae Spy Guild has always been a path of mystery mixed with years of tradition. Today the Eldership of the Guild has passed from Premier Yoshiku to his chosen disciple. Yoshiku who was a long time guide before becoming elder, in addition to serving as a judge, has decided to leave his beloved guild into the hands of Misled. Misled has served as an advisor to the Guild Leaders for many years and with so much experience under his belt will no doubt carry the Guild into a new era of RP prosperity.
It always seems that being an Elder is a thankless position, but Yoshiku did an outstanding job and Misled can only continue the legacy. Congratulations to both and Good Luck!
