Description

Welcome to the Community Island! Established in September 2020, the Community Isle has been available for Community Event goers and runners for many years. The Community Island is masterfully designed and decorated by Staff Member Fay, and is under constant updates and construction as the players requests and needs grow! There are so many sites to see and places to visit, most folks are probably familiar with a small part of the Community Island if they have ever attended a Community Auction or have trained in the Companion Keep, however this is only a very small fraction of what the Island provides. The Community Island has been created at the request of the community, and you may find that there are many places that have been inspired by specific players such as Joe Exotic's Zoo and the bakery that was installed for Old Granny's cookies she serves on Community Auction nights. There are many Community Events that are already installed in the island, but the staff is always willing to entertain new community events!

Location

The Community Island is known as an "instanced area" and is only reachable via special moongates. There is a permanent moongate available in the West Britain Bank area known as the West Britain Guard Outpost. When Community Events are currently running, there are generally Staff created moongates that go right to the specific event that only last as long as the event runs. Sometimes if the event runs longer than the intended time, the gates may close, however you can always use the West Britain Guard Outpost moongate to get back to the main part of the island, and then travel on foot/mount to the area of the island where the event is being held!

Notes

  • Due to the Islands very large area and multiple event zones, there is not a consistent set of zoning laws for the entire island, and are subject to change based on current events, and where you are in the island. While it is mostly safe to roam around the island, be cautious that you may enter an ungarded zone, a no mount zone, or some other special ruling zone!
  • The island is very large, and if you find yourself dead you may have to wander around to find a teleporter, there are several on the island that will all lead you to the same place in West Britain Bank. However if you cannot find your way out, dont forget you can use a help request to be transferred to a town or your Ring of Forgiveness to go to the West Britain Healers.

Community Events

Community Events are events that have been designed so that the community participate and in some cases, even run them on their own! Every Community Event is a little bit unique and are always some sort of customization that the staff is able to produce for the players. Staff is always willing to hear new ideas and looking for folks to help run them, so dont be shy, if you like these sorts of events, reach out to them to see how you can run your own!
